Using the flat beater in your mixer, mix with the brown sugar and flour to form a dough. Add the crushed nuts, the Éclat d’Or, salt and the scored vanilla pod. Mix briefly but do not let the dough break up too much. Store in the fridge or freezer until you are ready. Bake at 300°F (150°C) with the oven door slightly ajar to ensure an amber coloration.

Assembly and finishing
PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLY
Prepare the cream mix. The next day, shape into small quenelles and place them on a tray. Spread out the rest of the cream mix (approx. 2000g) in a 340x340x16mm frame. Freeze. Make the pressed shortbread then spread out 850g in a 340x340x6mm frame. Leave to harden then cut out 48x60mm rectangles. Then cut out cream mix inserts of 30x48mm. Store in the freezer. Make the crème anglaise mousse and immediately pour out 40g into oblong rings. Put the insert in place and fill the rings to the top (approx. 15g).
Smooth out and freeze.FINISHING
For the chocolate decoration, finely spread out the tempered couverture chocolate between two sheets of confectionery dipping paper. Before it hardens completely, cut out 120x40mm rectangles. Shape into a curve.
Use a spray gun to apply a layer of spray gun mixture onto the quenelles to give them a velvety finish.
Turn out the little cakes then glaze with Absolu Cristal neutral glaze. Then place them on the pressed shortbread (see photo). Position the chocolate decoration and finish by putting a quenelle in place.
