Method

Coconut dacquoise

In a mixer, whip the egg white to a soft peak and add the sugar gradually to make a soft meringue.

Spread it on a parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Bake at 180°C in a pre-heated oven, leave it at room temperature to cool it down completely. Keep it aside.

Pineapple Apricot Marmalade

In a saucepan, cook pineapple cubes, pineapple puree, and sugar over medium flame. Strain the pineapple and reserve the juice.

Boil the apricot puree-sugar mix and agar agar, until boiling.

Once the jelly is set, using a hand blender, blend it into a smooth paste.

Fold the cooked pineapple into the apricot gel. Keep it aside.

Coconut Mousse

In a bowl, whip the cream to a soft peak and store it in the refrigerator.

Soak the gelatin in water. Boil the coconut milk with sugar, and add the bloomed gelatin.

Fold the previously whipped cream once the mix is cooled down to 35°C. Keep it aside.
