Ingredients
Yields 5 moulds
Granulated sugar 220g
Glucose DE40 110g
UHT whipping cream 350g
Frozen Kalamansi lime puree 100g
Frozen lemon puree 80g
Butter 150g
Cacao Barry Ghana 40% milk chocolate, tempered 500g
Method
Temper green cocoa butter and flick the moulds to obtain green spots and thin lines.
Allow the cocoa butter to crystalize and then line the mould with tempered milk chocolate obtaining a thin shell. Set on paper to get a rim, allow to crystallize and scrape off any additional chocolate.
Make a direct caramel with the sugar and glucose. Cook until a pale golden colour.
Then add the hot whipping cream slowly making sure not to boil it over.
Cook to 110°C, then add the hot kalamansi lime/lemon puree mix and cook again to 107°C.
Take of the heat and add the butter stirring in well, blend with the stick blender. Pour into a bowl, cover the surface with cling film and allow the caramel to cool.
When it reaches 32°C – pipe into the shells leaving a 1-2mm gap from the top. Leave to cool overnight at 16-18°C.
Cap with tempered chocolate and allow to crystalize.
