Dark Riachuelo Creamy

Milk Riachuelo Creamy

Caramel
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 50 g sugar
- 40 g creme fraiche (40%)
- 1/4 tsp smoked sea salt
Cocoa Shortbread
- 40 g brown sugar
- 40 g almond flour
- 10 g cocoa powder
- 32 g pastry flour
- 40 g unsalted butter (chilled and cut in cubes)
Assembling
- 30 mini rectangle dark coupelles
- Chocolate decor
Instructions:
Milky Ice Cream
- In a heavy pot, whisk all the ingredients together. Over medium heat, constantly stirring, cook until it reaches 86ºC. Remove from the heat and cool. Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
Custard
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Heat the cream and milk in a heavy pot over medium-high heat until just below boiling.
- Whisk a small ladle of the hot liquid into the egg yolk mixture to temper. Repeat once more, and then whisk the egg yolk mixture into the remaining cream in the pot.
- Over medium heat, stirring constantly, cook the custard mixture until it begins to thicken. When it's ready, it should hold a finger trail on the back of a spoon.
- Strain into a clean bowl.
Dark and Milk Riachuelo Creamy
- Put the dark and milk chocolate in separate bowls. Pour the hot custard over each. Let the custard and chocolate sit for 10 minutes and then whisk to a creamy emulsion.
Caramel
- Combine the butter and sugar in a heavy pot over medium-high heat and melt. Cook until it is a dark amber colour. If it's bubbling too much, reduce the heat to medium.
- Remove from the heat, and carefully whisk in the creme fraiche and smoked salt. The caramel will bubble and steam vigorously. Let cool.
Cocoa Shortbread
- In a food processor, pulse the brown sugar, almond flour, cocoa, and pastry flour together.
- Add the butter and process just until it begins to form a ball. Remove, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Heat an oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Roll out the shortbread dough 6 mm thick. Cut 30 rectangles 60 x 20 cm. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Assembling
- Pipe 15 g of dark Riachuelo creamy into the coupelle. Gently press a cocoa shortbread into the dark ganache. Pipe 15 g of the milk Riachuelo creamy into the coupelle. Finish with caramel to fill the coupelle.
- To serve, garnish with small quenelles of the milky ice cream. Finish with chocolate decor and serve with drops of caramel on the plate.
