As needed RASPBERRY INSPIRATION

Make the streusel and coconut crémeux. Make the moist vanilla sponge mixture. Spread 550g into a 40×20cm frame and sprinkle with 140g of cooked coconut streusel. Bake at 330°F (165°C) for approx. 15 minutes.

Cut the sponge into a heart shape to make the base of the dessert. Freeze.

Assembly

Spread a thin layer of coconut crémeux onto the sponge, then sprinkle it with raspberry crispy wet-proof (6g).

Use a piping bag with a 9mm nozzle to pipe on approx. 30g of coconut crémeux. Freeze.

Make the Raspberry Inspiration light mousse.

Then, immediately pour 65g of the mousse into each mold, place the insert and freeze.

Remove from the mold, then use a spray gun to apply a thin layer of raspberry glaze.

Decorations

Make some dabs of tempered Raspberry Inspiration couverture chocolate between 2 sheets of guitar paper and form them into hearts using a cutter.

Lay the hearts in U-shaped molds to give them a curved shape.

Place 2 hearts on each dessert, as well as a few coconut shavings.

Finish off with chocolate decorations.
