Chocolate Millefeuilles with Candied Figs, Walnuts and Pink Salt
Level: Medium
Preparation time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 250 g dark chocolate 70%
- 500 ml whipping cream
- A jar of Fichi Caramellati Babbi
- 100 g shelled walnuts
- Q.s. pink salt
Preparation
For the melt chocolate:
- Chop the chocolate.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, put 2/3 of the chocolate, cook at 800 W for one minute.
- Remove from the microwave and use a silicone spatula to mix well. The chocolate will not have melted fully (it must reach 50°C).
- Return to the microwave for 5 seconds, remove and mix. (If it still has not melted return to the microwave for another 5 seconds always at 800W).
- Pour in the remaining chocolate to be melted and mix well until glossy.
- Wait for the chocolate to have melted at a temperature of 30-31°C.
For the millefeuilles:
- Once the chocolate has reached the correct temperature to be worked, spread as thinly as possible onto a sheet of oven paper, then on the surface sprinkle some granules of pink salts and the roughly ground walnuts.
- Place the sheets in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set. Whip the cream, cut Fichi Caramellati Babbi into pieces.
For assembly:
- Cut the chocolate into rectangles 6/7 cm x 12/cm, then add a layer of cream, pieces of fichi caramellati and again a layer of chocolate.
- Continue for two or three layers and finish with a sheet of chocolate onto which will be added a garnish of fig pieces and a little caramel applied with a paintbrush.
- Allow the dessert to rest in the fridge and place in the freezer.
