  • DICED PINEAPPLE

  • ABSOLU CRISTAL SPRAY MIX
    • ABSOLU CRISTAL Neutral glaze 250g
    • Water 25g

    Bring the neutral Absolu Cristal glaze to a boil in water.
    Immediately apply using a spray gun at about 175°F (80°C).

  • PLATING

    Prepare the whipped ganache and shortcrust pastry.
    Spread the pastry out to a thickness of 3mm and cut it into flower shapes.
    Place these onto the back of an approx. 7.5cm-diameter silicone mold with a “woven” texture. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 18 minutes.
    Prepare the diced pineapple and use it to fill 3.5cm half-spheres.
    Freeze.
    Shape some pre-set white chocolate into 6cm disks and petals.

    Beat the whipped ganache and use a piping bag with a 14mm nozzle to pipe 5 droplets around the edges of the disks. Immediately place a half-sphere of pineapple in the middle.
    Apply some glaze using a spray gun.
    Finish off by decorating with the white chocolate petals and a few droplets of glaze.

  • TIPS

    You can put some whipped ganache and pineapple inserts on a tray and store them in the freezer.
    You can seal the tartlet bases using egg wash or cocoa butter.
