Ingredients
  

110 g whole eggs

  • 62 g granulated sugar
  • 25 g hazelnut flour
  • 23 g all-purpose flour
  • 15 g cocoa powder
  • 9 g corn starch
  • 1 g salt
  • 1 g baking powder
  • 15 g melted butter

60 g mango purée

  • 40 g passion fruit purée
  • 25 g granulated sugar
  • 2 g pectin NH
  • 4 g gelatin powder + 24 g cold water

170 g dark chocolate

  • 85 g very dark chocolate
  • 3 g gelatin powder + 18 g cold water
  • 80 g milk
  • 1 g vanilla extract
  • 320 g whipping cream (semi-whipped)

200 g dark chocolate (glaze)

  • 20 g grapeseed oil
  • 40 g chopped hazelnuts

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the hazelnut sponge: Preheat the oven to 170°C. Whip the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift together the hazelnut flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, corn starch, salt and baking powder; fold into the egg mixture. Stir in the melted butter. Spread the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake until set, about 15 minutes. Let cool, cut out discs and freeze.
  • Make the mango marmalade: Combine the mango and passion fruit purées in a saucepan. Mix the sugar with the pectin and sprinkle over the purées while stirring. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin. Pour into small molds and freeze until firm.
  • Make the dark chocolate mousse: Bloom the gelatin. Melt the dark chocolates together. Heat the milk with the vanilla until simmering; dissolve the gelatin in the hot milk, then pour over the melted chocolate and blend until smooth. Cool the ganache to about 30°C, then fold in the semi-whipped cream.
  • Assemble and freeze: Pipe the mousse halfway into silicone molds. Insert a frozen disc of mango marmalade and top with a disc of hazelnut sponge. Fill the molds with more mousse, smooth the tops and freeze overnight.
  • Prepare the chocolate glaze: Melt the dark chocolate and grapeseed oil together and cool to about 30°C.
  • Glaze and finish: Unmold the frozen entremets and dip them into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and refrigerate to thaw for several hours before serving.
