Heat to 82°C (180°F) for five seconds. This technique is called “quick pasteurization.” Strain into a bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap and quickly cool, keeping the mixture above freezing.
Rest for 6-12 hours. Heat the mixture to 68°F (20°C) and gradually emulsify with the cold mascarpone to bind the fat molecules with the water. Blend until smooth.
Churn and ensure the temperature is at 18°F (–8°C). Store at 0°F (-18°C) for around 20 minutes to stabilize. When the sorbet is ready, pipe into half-spheres and stick together.
Assembly and finishing
With a piping bag, draw a knot on the plate. Using the back of a spoon, draw a line to create a bed. Lay a rectangle of Capuccino Cake and place on it a rectangle of Whipped Cocoa Nib Ganache. Place the Mascarpone Crémeux and the Mascarpone Coffee Sorbet behind it. Finish with some decorations.
