Water  - room-temperature

375g

Butter with 82% fat content  - gently melted

Preparation

  • In a planetary mixer with the paddle attachment, mix IRCA BROWNIES CHOC and water for 2–3 minutes at low speed.
  • Then mix for an additional minute while adding the melted butter, still at low speed (without whipping the mixture).
  • Spread the batter onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 180–190°C in deck ovens or 170–180°C in convection ovens for 25–30 minutes.

Granulated sugar

350g

Pectin NH

16g

Passion fruit puree

500g

Preparation

  • Disperse the NH pectin into the sugar to prevent lumps. Heat the puree to 50°C and add the pectin, mixing well. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue cooking for a couple of minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a frame lined with a silicone mat, then shock-freeze the entire preparation.

Preparation

  • Bring the first four ingredients to a gentle boil, then mix with the white chocolate and finally with the cold cream.
  • Let the mixture crystallize in the refrigerator for at least 8–10 hours before whipping.

Final Composition

  • Using a round cutter in the preferred size, cut out the brownie and slice it in half. On one of the two halves, use a smaller round cutter to remove a portion from the center.
  • Using the same cutter as before, cut out the shock-frozen passion fruit insert as well.
  • Then create a sandwich with the two brownie halves and the passion fruit insert.
  • Whip the coconut namelaka in a planetary mixer and, using a nozzle of your choice, pipe a dollop in the center of the brownie.
  • Shock-freeze the individual dessert and then coat the base and sides with a chocolate glaze thinned with oil, 60/40.
