Preparation

Dacquoise pistachio

With a plain nozzle, pipe the dacquoise in trailed balls against the inside of 16 cm ø stainless steel circles, finally fill the bottom of the circles with a spiral of dacquoise. 

Bake for 30 min at 190°C, open key. 

After cooling, unmould the dacquoises with a sharp knife.

Raspberry compote

Prepare a jam with the strawberries, raspberry puree, lime juice and pectin sugar. 

Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. 

Add the citric acid and soaked gelatine.

Leave it to cool in a tray.

Crush the fresh raspberries to release as little juice as possible and mix them with the jam.

Portion over the baked dacquoise.

Butter cream

Beat the eggs together with the yolks until fluffy, meanwhile boil the water together with the sugar and glucose to 121°C. 

Pour the boiling syrup onto the fluffy egg batter. Allow the batter to beat cold, add the softened Crème Butter.

Creme patissière

Make a composition of a few tablespoons of milk, the egg yolks, the cornstarch and the custard powder.

Meanwhile, bring the rest of the milk, along with the sugar and the scraped-out vanilla pod, to the boil. 

Pour the previous composition into the boiling milk and let it thicken while stirring. 

Mix in the Crème Butter, pour into a bowl and cover with cling film.

Pistachio praline

Caramelise the sugar with the water.

Incorporate the pistachios and let cool completely.

Cutter the pistachio caramel into a smooth praline along with the oil.

Finally, add the fleur de sel.

Pistachio mousseline

Mix together the butter cream, the creme patissière and the pistachio praline. 

Whisk into a fluffy batter. 

Assembly

Using a plain nozzle (#15), drench globs of mousseline cream on the raspberry compote and dacquoise base. 

Place the cakes in the refrigerator for a moment and spray gun them with green pistolage (100 g white chocolate, 100 g cocoa butter, 5 g green food colouring, 2 g yellow food colouring). 

Finishing touch

Richly top the piped cakes with fresh raspberries and finish with a decor of chocolate.
