1. WHIPPED ORANGE GANACHE
250 g cream
250 g orange pulp
160 g white chocolate

Soften gelatine. Bring the cream and pulp to the boil, then
pour over the white chocolate and stir in the softened gelatin.

To make a custard: whiten egg yolks and sugar. Boil the cream
and pulp, then add the zest. Pour over the yolks. Mix well.
Continue cooking until you obtain the texture of a custard (at
around 80°C, the custard should coat). Add Cointreau® and
softened gelatine.
Pour into small ø 2 cm moulds or baking sheets and freeze for
at least 4 hours.
Cut into 2 cm cubes if using sheet pans.
3. ALMOND STREUSEL
75 g butter
75 g flour
75 g almond powder
75 g brown sugar
1 orange zest

Mix all ingredients. Roll out to a thickness of 0.5 mm, cut into
2 cm diameter pieces. Chill for 20 minutes before baking at
180°C for 8 minutes, without browning.
