ASSEMBLY

Make the whipped ganache, the coffee crémeux, the sponge, the streusel and the syrup*.
Spread 800g of Viennese sponge into each tray and sprinkle each one with a small amount of coffee powder.
Bake at 390°F (200°C) for 6 minutes.
Cut out a 50cm-long, 4.5cm-wide strip of sponge and apply it to the inside of a 16cm ring lined with acetate.
Cut two 14cm circles for each dessert.
Make the pressed coffee streusel and place 80g in the base of each ring.
Beat the mascarpone whipped ganache and use a pastry
bag fitted with a 12mm nozzle to put in place 100g per dessert. Place a sponge on the whipped ganache and apply 100g of coffee punch.
Arrange 120g of coffee crémeux, followed by another layer of sponge and 100g of steeping syrup.
Pipe out some round dabs of crémeux, working inwards from the outside of the ring, and flatten them slightly using a guitar sheet.

Freeze.
Put a small amount of coffee powder on a guitar sheet,
add a dot of pre-crystallized Opalys couverture and sprinkle again with coffee. Cover the chocolate with a second guitar sheet and flatten it down to your preferred diameter.

Leave to set.
Heat the neutral glaze, remove the guitar sheet from the dessert and use a spray gun to cover it with a light coating of glaze.
Finish off the dessert with the Opalys and coffee decoration.
