Domenica is the recipe by Robinson Trevisan, for our webzine “Pasticceria Internazionale”, in collaboration with IFSE, culinary institute in Piobesi Torinese, Italy.
“The dessert comes from my memory associated with coffee aroma,” chef explains. “Upon entering the kitchen, I would always find my mom with her coffee-milk cup of and my dad with his grapefruit. I try to evoke memories of my Sunday breakfast, with the flavors of coffee and grapefruit”.
The dessert consists of a caramelized white chocolate whipped ganache, sablè with grapefruit peel, frangipane, and grapefruit and honey gelè
Whipped ganache
38 g Cream 35%
8 g Milk
5 g Filtered coffee
9 g Glucose syrup
43 g Caramelized white chocolate
1 g Jelly
91 g Cream 35% (2)
Heat the cream, coffee, milk, and glucose syrup until they begin to steam. Meanwhile, hydrate and activate the jelly (usually brought to 60°C). Then pour the hot cream with jelly over the chocolate in order to melt it and blend it with an immersion blender, being careful not to create bubbles. Lastly, add the chilled cold cream (2) and mix further. Once you have a smooth mixture, refrigerate it and let it rest overnight. Before serving the dessert, whip the ganache with a whisk and pipe it onto the tart using a piping bag.
