Instructions:
“El Jardin” Liquid Ganache
- Heat the cream, liquorice paste, sorbitol, and inverted sugar to 50º C. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Combine the cream mixture and melted chocolate and whisk to emulsify. Cool to 45º C and whisk in the butter.
Whipped Mint Gelatin
- Soak the gelatin in cold water and when soft, squeeze out excess water. In a small pot over low heat, melt the gelatin in a small amount of the water. Whisk in the remaining ingredients.
- In a mixer, beat the mixture until it has the consistency of meringue. Pour into hemispherical silicone moulds and freeze. Slice into thick coins for assembly.
Mint Gelatin for Coating
- Heat the ingredients, except the mint paste, and bring to boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mint paste. Cool to 75ºC.
Assembling
- Pipe the ganache, filling the small rounds, and let set. Using a thin needle, dip the whipped gelatin coins in the gelatin for coating. Place as a cap on top of rounds and decorate.
