Gradually pour the hot liquid onto the melted couverture and stir in the center with a rubber spatula until glossy and elastic, signifying the emulsion process is underway.

Crush the Dulcey caramel in a food processor with the Speculoos Spread and gold powder. Sprinkle this powder onto a silicone baking sheet. Use a toothpick to draw out the desired opal shape. Bake at 150-160°C until the sugar crystals melt again. Remove from the oven and store in a sealed container.

Cover with food wrap and set aside in the refrigerator.When ready to serve, remove the verrines from the fridge and add some droplets of Fig and Blackberry Coulis on top of the jelly. Add some crumbs of speculoos. Decorate with a Dulcey Speculoos Opaline.
