Make a crème anglaise with the milk, cream, egg yolks, and sugar.
Pour the hot crème anglaise into the chocolate and blend the two.
Cool and place in siphon. You will need 2 gas cartridges per siphon.
Mix the melted chocolate with the hazelnut paste and grapeseed oil,
then add the crispy wheat flake cereal.
Bring the water to a boil, pour it onto the chocolate, and blend, taking
care to get rid of any air bubbles.
Make a dry caramel with the isomalt, then once it has melted
completely, let it cool a little and keep it warm under a sugar lamp at
around 195°F (90°C). Take 20g, then stick the isomalt to the nozzle
of a sugar pump and blow it into the truffle mold (i.e.: a spherical
silicone mold). Once it is cold, remove the truffle and hollow it out on
a white-hot 40mm-diameter cookie cutter. Soak the entire truffle in
pre-crystallized Guanaja chocolate, sprinkle with cocoa powder, and
leave to crystallize.
Bring the milk and cream to a boil, pour onto the beaten eggs and
sugar, combine, and cook to 185°F (85°C), then pour onto the chocolate.
Blend until the emulsion is perfect, then chill overnight.
Melt the chocolate at approx. 115°F (45°C), add the warmed egg
yolks, and mix until smooth. Beat the egg whites in a food processor
and gradually fold in the sugar. Mix the meringue with the first mixture
using a spatula, then spread out on a baking pan and bake in a fanassisted
oven for approx. 7 minutes at 390°F (200°C).
Heat the milk, cream, milk powder, inverted sugar, and the truffle
grated with a microplane, and leave to infuse overnight. Heat the
mixture with one third of the sugar. At 105°F (40°C), add the stabilizer
mixed with one third of the sugar, then bring to a boil. Pour the hot
mixture over the egg yolks beaten with one third of the sugar until
blanched, and make a crème anglaise. Leave the ice cream to settle
overnight. Strain, blend, and churn.
Mix the creamed butter with the confectioner's sugar (but do not
beat). Add flour and hazelnut flour, mixing until smooth. Roll out
between 2 sheets of parchment paper to a depth of approx. 3mm,
freeze, then turn out and cut into 4cm rounds. Bake on Silpain nonstick
mat at 330°F (165°C) for approx. 8 minutes.
Assemble by placing a round of flourless sponge on a round
of hazelnut shortcrust. Use a piping bag to place an attractive
20/25g dome of Guanaja crémeux on top. Fill a truffle shell one third
full with Guanaja siphon mix. Place the siphon mix on the edges using
a mini palette knife. Add a teaspoon of hazelnut crisp, then a scoop
of truffle ice cream, and finally seal the truffle using the first assembly.
Turn over onto the plate and serve with the warm chocolate sauce.
