    Once it has cooled, use a white-hot 4cm stainless steel ring to melt away the bottom of the droplet.

  • VANILLA EMULSION

    Boil the milk and cream and combine them with the sugar and yolk mixture. Cook them as you would a crème anglaise at 185°F (85°C), then rapidly cool the mixture and leave it to infuse for 24 hours.

    Mix until a homogeneous dough forms. Once it has cooled, spread it to a thickness of 3mm and bake it for 10 minutes at 355°F (180°C).

    Strain out the seeds and mold them in Pacojet bowls.
    Freeze.

  • FINISHING AND PLATING

    In the center of the plate, make a millefeuille with 3 shortcrust pastry disks and 2 crème brulée disks caramelized in brown sugar.
