Spread 100g of raspberry compote onto the Vanilla Crémeux sponge, then put a disc of the Vanilla Crémeux sponge in place. Freeze.Make the pressed Breton sablé biscuit. Spread some of the pressed Breton sablé biscuit between a 16cm ring and a 14cm ring (no need to arrange it in any way) and remove the 14cm ring. Create a thin layer of sablé biscuit in the hole left in the ring’s center.Place in the refrigerator. Prepare the crème anglaise-style mousse and pour approx. 50g onto the pressed sablé. Put the insert in place and pour approx. 450g of mousse right up to the top of the ring. Freeze. Once turned out, apply the chocolate spray mix to create a velvet effect.Finishing: Put a metal rolling pin in the freezer. Use a piping bag (no nozzle required) and tempered white chocolate to create thin twig-like strands and place them on a 14cm disc of white chocolate, which has been slightly decrystallized with a heat gun. Use a spray gun to apply a layer of matcha tea spray mix. Finish off with a few VALRHONA SIGNATURE decorations.
