Chef's word

Franck Kestener

An indulgent fondant core elevated by the Concerto chocolate's dulce de leche notes. I used dark cocoa powder to create a visual contrast.  

Final assembly

Cool down at 2°C.

Using a guitar cutter, make stripes the same way as the decoration stripes and roll up the stripes one by one to shape the entremet as a liquorice rollen.

Set it over the crust pastry disc.

Coat using a neutral spray and set glazed dark quenelles.

Decorate with chocolate flakes.
