This elegant and neat bûche with a bright and balanced taste of the Piña Colada cocktail by Nicolas Boussin will become a luxurious attraction of the festive table.
It consists of a juicy almond sponge, compote of pineapple, poached with ginger and lime, exotic fruit cream with an extraordinary smooth and silky texture, and light coconut mousse.
The bûche is decorated with a dynamic wave of Chantilly cream with mascarpone, white chocolate fans, coconut curls and lime zest - everything that reveals the taste of the cake.
cake
A modern and sophisticated version of the world famous dessert by Nicolas Boussin will delight you with its light taste and elegant look.
In addition to Chantilly cream, the chef will prepare a lychee cream that has a very delicate and smooth texture. A raspberry and blueberry compote with an intense taste and bright color serve as a bright berry accent of the dessert.
To achieve the perfect cake shape, Nicolas will show you a special meringue technique that will create rhythmic waves on its surface.
The cake is decorated with a pattern of Chantilly cream with mascarpone: it brings volume, lightness and demonstrates that this dessert is a unique handwork.
You will be impressed by the look and rich classic flavor of a modern and elegant cake-shaped version of Tiramisu by Nicolas Boussin.
The silky and delicate mascarpone cream will be complemented by the bright taste of soft coffee caramel and the contrasting texture of the shortbread crust - perfectly balanced for the cake base.
The recipe of this cake will help you to learn how to make Ladyfingers - very light, airy and perfectly absorbing any syrup.
To highlight the textured surface of the cake and enhance the coffee flavor, the chef covers the cake with a thin layer of transparent coffee glaze.
Dijon
gâteau
The cake consists of thin layers of various textures that complement each other and form a harmonious pastry.
Rhythmic stripes on the sponge surface follow the cut pattern of the cake. Natural colors attract attention and evoke associations with the bright taste of Dijon black currant.
The pastry is perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. It is a perfect combination of intense currant flavor and creamy whipped almond ganache.
Floraison has a beautiful rounded flower shape with clearly defined petals.
All textures are visible: choux pastry dough with a crispy coating of nuts and pearl sugar, cream and praline.
The classic choux pastry dough in this recipe is piped in a special way using a shortcrust pastry base. This will make the pastry more stable and easier to work with.
Also, Nicolas Boussin shares the author's recipe of a cream with praline which is lighter and less sweet than the cream for the classic Paris-Brest.
Brioche royale looks really festive and appetizing, despite the simple decor.
The soft texture of the dough is perfectly complemented by aromatic candied fruits, marzipan and crispy almond crust on the top.
The peculiarity of this recipe lies in the butter dough made according to an old recipe with the addition of orange blossom, candied fruits and marzipan.
Before baking, the surface of the dough is covered with a special glaze, which after the baking will become crispy and will pleasantly contrast with the delicate texture of the brioche.
