Winter

For the coconut mousse
Boil the coconut milk with the desiccated coconut. Leave to rest for 10 minutes and filter through a strainer. Add the sugar and gelatine. After about 10 minutes, fold in the whipped cream.

For the scalded raspberries
Heat a saucepan and scald the raspberries mixed with the sugar.

For the white chocolate jelly
Boil the milk with the sugar and agar. Take off the heat and add the broken chocolate, mix and spread on a tray to a thickness of 0.5 cm. Leave to cool in the fridge.

For the yoghurt biscuit
Mix all the ingredients and knead. Make cylinders and freeze them. Grate the frozen dough onto a sheet of leather and cook at 140 °C for 4 minutes.

For the soft yoghurt biscuit
Chop everything in a mixer for 5 minutes. Filter through a strainer and pour into a siphon. Charge with gas and leave to rest for 12 hours. Fill plastic cups and cook in the microwave for 1 minute.

For the puffed white chocolate
Melt the two ingredients and temper them at 32 °C. Fill the siphon, charge it and shake it. Fill the individual moulds and place in a vacuum to allow the mixture to rise; leave to cool for about an hour and turn carefully out of the mould only when the chocolate has set.

For the sugar meringue for the snowman
Whisk in a bowl and heat in a bain-marie at 50 °C.
Whisk using an electric whisk to obtain a soft, foamy consistency. Use an icing bag and a smooth nozzle to pipe the meringue onto a sheet of baking paper, forming a small and a medium cylinder joined at one end, representing the body and head of the snowman. Leave to dry at 50 °C for 4 hours and finish decorating.
