The day before:

at 40°F (4°C) for 12 hours.
Make the gellified coulis, then pour 15g into each halfsphere silicone mold.
Allow to gellify at 40°F (4°C) for approx. 4 hours, then
freeze.
Once frozen, turn out and set aside in the freezer.

The day of serving:

Make the sponge and pour 800g batter into a half-frame.
Bake at 355°F (180°C) for approx. 14/16 minutes.
Once cooled, use a cookie cutter to cut 6cm diameter
disks.
Beat half the Opalys ganache and, using a piping bag
without a tip, pipe 15g of ganache evenly onto each disk
of sponge.
Freeze.
Make the mousse and pour 35g into each 4cm high and
6cm diameter silicone mold.
Put the sponge-ganache insert into place.
Smooth the surface and freeze.

Turn out the cakes and arrange the half-spheres of
