Assembly and finishing
ASSEMBLY & FINISHING :
200g OQO 73%
Take a pasteurization jar and place it in the freezer to keep it cold in order to promote setting. Temper the OQO couverture before pouring it into the cold jar. Place the jar into a vacuum machine. Create a vacuum and switch off the machine a few seconds before the end of the process. Leave the jar in the machine for 15-20 minutes until the couverture has set fully. Remove the couverture from the jar, and break off pieces to use for decorating the desserts.
As needed cocoa nibs
Unmold the quetsche mousse, and dip each piece 1/3 of the way into the glaze. Drain off the excess glaze, then coat in the cocoa nibs.
PLATING :
Place the quetsche mousse coated with the glaze and cocoa nibs onto a plate. Lightly hollow out the center of each dessert to pour in a little of the quetsche sauce. Pipe a ring of OQO crémeux around the quetsche sauce on top of the dessert. Finally, add dots of caramel and whiskey jelly onto the crémeux, along with pieces of the set OQO couverture. Decorate with gold leaf and flower petals.
