Preparation

For the puffed rice crunch:

Bring the Pristine Cooking 20% Cream to simmer in a saucepan. Add the gorgonzola and whisk until smooth.

For the cocoa bisquit:

Mix the Pristine Cooking 20% Cream, extra virgin olive oil and thyme leaves. Season with salt.

For the mandarin jelly:

Prepare the tartare by first cutting the meat into strips, then into small squares and finally chop finely until you obtain the desired size. Season with oil, salt and pepper. Clean the mushrooms by removing the earth, wash them and cut them into thin slices and griddle them in a pan with oil and salt. Place the meat in the mould, decorate as desired with the mushrooms and the two cream sauces.

For the Rocher glaze:

Melt the cocoa butter in the microwave or in a saucepan. Then add the chocolate and complete the melting fusion. Mix the granules and keep warm. Use at approximately 40° C.

For the chocolate mousse:

Heat the milk and add the rehydrated gelatine. Gradually pour the hot milk over the partially melted chocolate, being careful to emulsify the mixture with the help of a silicone spatula. Mix assoon as possible with a blender for 30 seconds. When the temperature has dropped to 31/34°C, pour onto the Pristine Whipping 32% Cream, mix and pour into the 16 cm diameter silicone mould up to 2/3 full. Tap the mould onto the table, taking care to eliminate air bubbles and insert the cocoa bisquit with the crunchy base facing upwards. Place the cake in the blast chiller until frozen. Turn the cake out and spray it with the chocolate spray can. Finally, dip the still frozen cake halfway into the Rocher glaze and complete with the mandarin jelly and gold leaf.
