Preparation
- For the pears: bring the water to a boil with the sugar, vanilla pod and lemon juice. Peal the pears (do not core). Put the pears into the liquid, cover and simmer for approx. 30 minutes until soft. Allow to cool.
- For the chocolate tuile: bring the water to a boil with the glucose. Add the sugar and pectin and continue to cook for approx. 2-3 minutes. Add the butter, cocoa powder and chocolate and continue to cook. Spread the mixture onto a silicon mat with a spatula and bake at 200° C for approx. 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cut out circles of 2,5 cm diameter (8 pieces per pear). Store dry.
- For the chocolate crumbs: whisk the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the flour, QimiQ Sauce Base and cocoa powder and mix well. Sprinkle the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper by rubbing between the fingers. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (convection) for approx. 12-15 minutes.
- For the vanilla 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 sugar, eggs, egg yolks and vanilla seeds from the vanilla pod and continue to whip until the required volume has been achieved. Add the mascarpone and mix well.
- For the chocolate 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 sugar, eggs, orange liqueur and orange peel and continue to whip until the required volume has been achieved. Add the mascarpone and mix well. Fold in the melted chocolate.
- For the vanilla ice cream: 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 QimiQ Vanilla (whisked smooth), egg yolks and sugar and continue to whip until the required volume has been achieved. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Fill the mixture into a pacojet beaker and freeze over night at -20°C.
- For the chocolate sauce: place all the ingredients into a sauce pan and bring to the boil. Blend smooth and allow to cool.
- To serve: coar the pears with a ball cutter. Fill with the vanilla mousse and chocolate crumbs. Arrange the chocolate tulies on the pear in a spiral pattern. Pipe some chocolate mousse onto each tuile. Just before serving, add the vanilla ice cream and the chocolate sauce.
