Assembly and finishing
Make the raspberry sorbet, the raspberry coulis and the Almond Inspiration milk ice cream and set them aside. Make the crunch and weigh 120g into 14cm-diameter rings. Press down gently on each one and store in the refrigerator. Use a piping bag with a 10mm smooth nozzle to make 130g balls of raspberry sorbet on the crunch and store these assemblies in the freezer.
Use a piping bag (no nozzle required) to pipe 40g of raspberry coulis into the raspberry sorbets’ hollows. Freeze.
Use a piping bag with a 10mm nozzle to pipe 170g balls of Almond Inspiration milk ice cream straight onto your assemblies. Freeze. Leave a 16cm-diameter ring lined with acetate in the freezer for approx. 30 minutes.
Make the lemon and honey iced mousse, then pour 90g straight into each ring. Add the insert so that the crunch is at the top – Remember, you are assembling your dessert upside down. Freeze. Turn out the desserts. On top of each one, use a piping bag with a 12mm nozzle to pipe out differently shaped scoops of milk ice cream and raspberry sorbet (each one should be approx. 60g in weight). Use a spoon soaked in hot water to give each scoop a slight hollow. Freeze. Make the frosting and spray the desserts.
Spread some pre-hardened Almond Inspiration couverture between two sheets of confectionery dipping paper and use a fluted cutter to cut it into disks. Leave these to set before putting them on the desserts. Finish off with your own Customized Logo Decoration.
