Vanilla sablé

   600 g soft butter  
   250 g icing sugar  
  15 g acacia honey  
  no. 1   vanilla bean   
  200 g  egg yolks   
  5 g   salt 
   500 g weak flour   
  20 g   baking powder 
  75 g  roasted almond powder   

Mix the butter with the icing sugar, honey, vanilla bean and salt; add a little at a time the egg yolks and then the flour, already sifted with the baking powder and the roasted almond powder.
Using a sac-à-poche (piping bag) with a smooth tip no 6-7, fill the mixture into silicone Flexipan moulds for savarin, cook in the oven at 150°-160°C for 25 minutes. Remove from the moulds and cool down.

 

Custard cream

  1 L fresh milk 
  250 g  fresh cream 35% butterfat   
  no. 1  vanilla bean   
  no. 1  grated lemon rind  
  240 g   sugar  
  300 g egg yolks   
  90 g   maize starch  
  2 g  salt  

Blend and warm the milk, cream, vanilla bean, grated lemon rind and half the quantity of sugar. In the meantime, prepare a batter with the maize starch, sugar, salt and egg yolks; blend until obtaining a smooth mixture. When the milk reaches the boiling point, mix in the previous mixture and cook. Pour in a mould with baking paper, cover and freeze in the blast chiller.

 

Milk and lemon soft ganache

  120 g   fresh cream 35% butterfat
  no. 1/2  grated lemon rind 
  130 g chocolate 33%

Boil the fresh cream with the grated lemon rind and infuse for 5 minutes. Pour it slowly on the finely chopped chocolate and blend with a plastic spatula, in order to obtain an elastic and shiny emulsion.

Assembly

Pour a thin layer of soft lemon and milk ganache in the center of the savarin. Once it is crystallized, fill with custard cream and decorate with some fresh fruit.
