The recipe, step by step

  1. 01

    Crumble

    Mix all the ingredients together in a hand mixer with the K-beater, knead on the minimum setting.

    Sift through a large-holed sieve.

    Bake between two Silpain® at 140°C for 20 minutes.

  2. 02

    Reconstuted Shortbread

    Use the K-beater to mix the nut crumble, chopped almonds and feuillantine.

    Put in the melted cocoa butter and chocolate (40°C) and mix until the shortbread is properly combined.

    Fill the thermoforms, pressing lightly, then leave to chill.

  3. 03

    Salted Butter Caramel

    Boil the milk and cream and infuse the crushed tonka bean. Let steep for 2 hours and strain through a fine sieve.

    Caramelise the sugar until you obtain a dry caramel. Deglaze with cream and milk.

    Bake at 120°C. Add the butter.

    Leave to cool. Using a piping bag, pipe onto one half of the shortbreads. Place the other half on top, press lightly and chill.

    Coating

    Melt all the ingredients except for the cocoa powder and use at 33°C.

    Dip the shortbreads. When the chocolate is crystallised, brush with a metal brush and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
