confit followed by 2600g of hazelnut Bahibe crémeux.
Cut the dessert into 27.5 × 5cm rectangles (1 frame = 14 logs), then use a St-Honoré nozzle or piping bag with a hole at the tip to pipe on the Bahibe
hazelnut whipped ganache.
Finishing touches:
Using a spray gun, coat the ganache with the Absolu Cristal glaze and 10% water.
Dip the log in the rock mix heated to 95°F (35°C) so it is soaked right up to the top of its frame.
Make dabs of lemon gel in the hollows of the whipped ganache, and add some hazelnut slivers.
Finish with some Chocolatree oak leaf chocolate decorations.
