The idea?

To rework a mille-feuille without the puff pastry.


The shape?

A round circular shape to remind of the roundness of chocolate in the mouth.


The flavours?

Superposing fine chocolate sheets, one with fleur de sel,
a light Jivara milk chocolate chantilly cream with a chocolate
sorbet center.


The technical step?

To give movement with the milk chocolate loops just before the chocolate completely crystallises.


Careful

Make the Jivara Chantilly cream the day before whipping it up
to ensure the creaminess when tasting.


The chocolate

Extra bitter for its percentage of cocoa, Jivara for its light
fruitiness, Équatorial lactée because it is really easy to work
with.
