WHAT TO DO
Coconut Pastry
Beat the butter into a thick, smooth paste with an electric beater. When smooth, add the icing sugar, desiccated coconut and the eggs. Combine. Add the flour, baking powder and finally the salt.
Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour.
Roll out to a 3mm thickness and cut two rectangles 250mm x 100mm.
Place on a Demarle Silpain mat on a perforated tray. Bake for 15 minutes at 160Β°C or until golden brown. Dust with Mycryo as it comes out of the oven and cool.
Raspberry Jelly
Pre-soak the gelatine and mix together with one third of the defrosted purΓ©e and the sugar. Heat to 60Β°C and then add the remaining defrosted purΓ©e. Deposit into a Demarle half Flexipat and freeze.
Once frozen cut into a rectangle 240mm x 90mm and return to the freezer.
Dark Chocolate Mousse
Semi-whip the fresh cream and set aside in the fridge.
Melt the couverture in the microwave to 60Β°C. Combine the sugar syrup and egg yolks over a double boiler and whisk until you reach 80Β°C to create a bombe paste.
Fold a small amount of the whipped cream through the couverture until you reach a consistency similar to the bombe paste.
Then fold the couverture mixture through the bombe paste and lastly add the remaining semi-whipped cream.
Deposit into a Demarle half Flexipat and freeze. Once frozen cut into a rectangle 240mm x 90mm and return to the freezer.
Vanilla Marshmallow
Combine the caster sugar, water, dextrose and cut and scraped vanilla beans, bring to the boil.
Remove from the heat and add the soaked gelatine. Warm the glucose and slowly pour the syrup mixture over the glucose in a mixer, whisking on high speed.
Continue to whisk on high speed until mixture reaches ribbon consistency.
Pipe the mixture into silicon paper tubes 15mm diameter. Leave to set at room temperature.
Heat the silicon paper with a paint stripper gun to release the marshmallow onto a tray with a mixture of equal parts corn flour, equal parts icing sugar.
Finishing
Crystalise the couverture and spread a thin layer on a guitar sheet and cut rectangles 90mm x 240mm.
Melt circles in a variety of sizes into the rectangle with piping tubes warmed with a paint stripper gun.
Assembly
Place the chocolate mousse and then raspberry layer onto the coconut base.
Alternate strips of marshmallow and fresh raspberries and place the chocolate disc on top garnished with gold leaf.
