Jivara Black Sesame Crémeux

Strain the hot custard through a chinois, then make an emulsion with the chopped or melted chocolate using a rubber spatula (as for a ganache) so as to obtain a smooth, shiny and elastic texture. For a perfect emulsion, finish with a hand mixer, taking care not to introduce any air and working at a temperature above 35°C (45°C maximum). This method ensures that the creamy texture remains supple even after thawing.

Once the sponge is baked, place it immediately in the freezer in order to keep it moist.
Spread a thin layer of chocolate crémeux on the sponge, cut it in half in the width and roll it tight. Place the two rolled cakes inside a U shape mold in the freezer to maintain their nice round shape.
Once frozen, cut in 4,5 cm sections and dip them into the chocolate dipping mix at 32°C, in order to cover each cake with a tiny chocolate layer.
Place some sauce on the plate and then a rolled cake. Add a chocolate decoration and scoop a quenelle of milk chocolate gelato before serving.
For the chocolate decoration, make some irregular round circles thin enough to hang sloping on the plate as in the picture. Take care of having them touch each other in order to avoid any falls. Sprinkle with some black sesame.
