Preparation
Chocolate Mousse
Bring milk to boil. Pour onto egg yolk and cook to custard. Add in the softened Sheet Gelatin and mix well. Add the custard to the chopped Ambra, keep warm and stir to a smooth ganache. Fold in the whipped cream and add Framboise. Line 6 cylindrical moulds of 6 cm H x 5.5 cm with plastic films. Place one sponge cake base at the bottom of each mould and pour in the mousse. Level the top and keep frozen. Demould and remove the plastic film while the mousses are still frozen. Defrost and keep the mousse at 41°F/5°C.
Green Peppercorn Raspberry Sauce
Stir honey in white wine, add in green peppercorns and bring to a boil. Infuse for 20 minutes. Mix the sauce with Raspberry Purée, infused peppercorns and half of the white wine honey. Marinate the mixed berries with a small amount of the sauce. Adjust the consistency by adding the right proportion of Napmiroir to the sauce.
White Sponge Cake
Mix ingredients on high gear for 3-5 minutes. High speed to maximum volume. Place in 1cm thick chablon on top of a silpat, spread the mixture over and produce about 20 pieces of 4.5 cm cake discs. Bake at 356°F/180°C for 20-25 minutes. Coat with a thin layer of chocolate when they are cool. Keep in an airtight box.
