Chef's word

Joaquin Soriano

This recipe has become a classic at our patisserie. It has lots of textures which are fun to play with depending on the season. The colour and hat filling can be changed for Easter/Valentine's Day/Christmas.

Final assembly

The night before, prepare the black sweet paste, laminate and bake. Bake the black crunch and make the reconstituted crunch with it. Weigh in the mould. Freeze.

Prepare the dacquoise and bake. As the dacquoise is cooling, make the Vibrato ganache, pour over the crunch and top with the dacquoise. Put in the blast freezer.

Prepare the vanilla cream. Cool to 25°C. At the same time, make the chocolate biscuit and bake it in the mould. When tempered, pour the cream on the biscuit. Put in the blast freezer.

Turn out each part and prepare the Vibrato mousse. In each mould, put in some crunch and pipe in a little mousse. Add the vanilla cream then fill with the mousse to the top. Put in the blast freezer.

Prepare the coating to 45°C and turn out the cake. Spray the rabbit face with white cocoa butter and place on top of the cake.

Make a ribbon with pulled sugar and decorate.
