Preparation

  1. For the pear jelly: bring the pear puree, lemon juice and sugar to a boil. Add the soaked, soft gelatin and allow to cool.
  2. For the chocolate tarts: melt the butter. Add the chocolate and allow to melt. Whisk the eggs and powdered sugar until fluffy and fold into the butter mixture. Heat the butter-chocolate mixure up to 82° F and fold in the flour. Pour this mixture into the tart cases and bake at 320° F for 4 minutes. Allow to cool. Glaze with the pear jelly and allow to cool.
  3. For the black currant core, blend the black currant puree and powdered sugar. Pour into small molds and freeze.
  4. For the pear mousse: lightly whip the cold QimiQ Whip until completely smooth ensuring that the entire mixture is incorporated (especially from bottom and sides of bowl). Add the pear puree, lemon juice and icing sugar and continue to whisk at top speed until the required volume has been achieved. Fold in the whipped cream and pour into silikon hemisphere molds.
  5. Place the frozen black currant core into the pear mousse and freeze. Airbursh the pear mousse ball with red cocoa butter to serve.
