Instructions
- Prepare the almond sponge base by mixing almond flour, powdered sugar, all-purpose flour, egg whites, and a pinch of salt. Bake until lightly golden and let cool completely.
- Make the mango insert by heating mango puree with sugar. Stir in softened gelatin until dissolved, pour into a mold, and freeze until firm.
- Prepare the passion fruit layer by heating passion fruit puree with sugar and gelatin. Pour over the frozen mango layer and freeze again until set.
- For the coconut mousse, heat coconut milk with sugar. Whisk in egg yolks and cook gently until slightly thickened.
- Add gelatin and white chocolate to the coconut mixture and stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the cooled coconut mixture to create a light mousse.
- Assemble the entremet by pouring half of the coconut mousse into a mold. Place the frozen mango-passion fruit insert in the center and cover with the remaining mousse.
- Place the almond sponge base on top and press gently. Freeze the dessert until fully set.
- Prepare a glossy glaze using fruit puree, sugar, water, and gelatin. Let cool slightly before pouring over the frozen entremet.
- Unmold the cake, glaze evenly, and thaw slightly in the refrigerator before serving.
