Preparation

Buckwheat biscuit

Whisk the eggs with the sugar in a planetary mixer, add the cold melted butter and finally, using a spatula, add all the pre-mixed powders. 

Bake at 170 °C for about 30 minutes.

Pear compote

Heat the pear pulp with the glucose syrup, add the pectin mixed with sugar and bring to a boil. 

Next, add the rehydrated gelatine, lemon juice, zest, tonka bean and pear brunoise. Cook for a few minutes.

Tonka bean namelaka

Heat the milk and infuse the tonka bean in it for 10 minutes.

Then add the glucose syrup and the lemon zest, bring to a boil, add the rehydrated gelatine and strain over the previously melted milk chocolate.

Finally, pour in the liquid cream and emulsify with an immersion blender.

Pear mousse

Heat the pear puree and add the rehydrated gelatine and meringue. 

When the mixture reaches 30 °C, add the semi-whipped cream.

Assembly

In a 16-cm diameter ring, lined with acetate, place the buckwheat biscuit soaked in aromatic lemon and vanilla syrup at the base. 

Level 230 g of pear compote with a spatula, pat down, then pour over 140 g of tonka bean namelaka. Pat down again. 

In a silicone mould with a diameter of 18 cm, pour in the pear mousse to fill ¾ of the mould, then place the previously frozen and demoulded insert in the centre, taking care to leave the biscuit as the outer part. Level well with a spatula and pat down again. 

Remove the cake from the mould and ice at a temperature of -18 °C.

Finishing touch

Finally, decorate with flowers and tempered white chocolate edible wrap.
