Main ingredients :

Caramel Papua Mousse, Santa Domingo Foam, Passion Fruit Curd, Thai Spice sponge, Pain D’epice, Caramel Glacage, Croquant wafer.

Description:

Main component is the caramel Papua mousse. To get the full flavour characteristic of the Santa Domingo but the texture as light as possible it was mixed with a little syrup and put through a siphon. Passion fruit curd gives the entremet the required acidity married to the fruity taste of the Santa Domingo. Coconut, lemon grass & kaffir lime give the flavour of Thai curry, which is whipped gelatine foam. The base is pain d’epice and the croquant gives a crunchy texture.
