Once all ingredients are well mixed, finish by adding the almond powder.
Crumble the dough into a square mould (20 x 20cm) and store away in the refrigerator at 4°C during 30 minutes before baking at 160°C during 25 minutes.
2/ Exotic fruit cream
INGREDIENTS
- 200 g whipped cream (35% fat)
- 150 g whole egg

Place the eggs, the egg yolks, the sugar, the fruit purée and the lemon juice in a non-sticking saucepan and bring to 82°C while mixing with a rubber spatula.
Add the dried gelatine and mix.
Cool the mix down to 40°C and incorporate in a blender by dipping the previously melted white chocolate (in a bain-marie or in the microwave oven).
When the mix is well emulsified, incorporate it to the whipped cream in a hand blender.
To finish, spread the cream in a large and low recipient to make it crystallise more rapidly at 4°C.
