Instructions
 

Dacquoise with almonds and lime zest

  • Beat the egg whites and add the caster sugar in one go as soon as they are firm.
  • Combine the almond powder and sugar in a large bowl and fold in the whipped eggs.
  • Add the lime zest.
  • Fill the pastry bag.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
  • On a sheet of baking paper, trace the outline of the mold in pencil then fill the mold by making lines with the pastry bag.
  • Sprinkle with icing sugar.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve immediately out of the oven on a rack to prevent the dacquoise from softening as it cools.

Lime mousse

  • Squeeze the limes.
  • Rehydrate the gelatin sheets by dipping them in a bowl of ice water.
  • Heat the lemon juice with the zest of a lime.
  • At the first broths, remove from heat.
  • Add the gelatin sheets, stir until melted and set aside.
  • Whip the liquid cream into whipped cream.
  • Gradually incorporate the lemon juice which will have cooled a little.

Mounting

  • Fill the log mold with the mousse.
  • Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours until the foam has set.

Creamy mango

  • Finely mix the mango flesh.
  • Heat up.
  • Blanch the egg with the sugar (mix together).
  • Pour in the mango mixture and mix.
  • Put on low heat, until the mixture thickens.
  • Add the butter.
  • Rehydrate the gelatin sheets by soaking them in ice water.
  • Wring out the leaves and dissolve them in the mango mixture after removing it from the heat.

Mounting

  • Take the log out of the fridge.
  • Using a large spoon, scoop out to add the mango insert.
  • Pour the insert once it has cooled (so as not to melt your log)
  • Place the dacquoise and leave in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

Neutral topping

  • Rehydrate the gelatin by dipping the leaf in a bowl of ice water.
  • Bring the water to a boil with the sugar.
  • Remove from the heat and add the gelatin.
  • Let cool, stirring regularly so that the topping is not too solid (and therefore will not be able to serve as a topping) but not too hot (so as not to melt the log)
  • Unmold the log. Place on a wire rack over a drip pan (to collect the topping that will flow).
  • Cover the log with the neutral glaze
