Frozen desserts

Frozen desserts today offer multiple advantages in the dining room: they allow production to be anticipated, guarantee regularity in service, and bring freshness and lightness to the end of the menu.

In this individual dessert, Rémi Montagne builds a precise balance between textures and temperatures, combining a sponge cake, a creamy hazelnut praline with a deep and toasted profile, a hazelnut shortcrust pastry that provides structure, and a blood orange sorbet that introduces tension, acidity, and freshness.

The orange sorbet is a key piece of the recipe where Profiber Stab 5 is used, a stabilizer that allows to obtain a fine, stable, and clean texture. Its use facilitates better water retention, a more unctuous mouthfeel, and a controlled melting, essential qualities in a sorbet intended to be integrated into a haute pastry dessert.

The result is a sorbet with a precise flavor, without excessive crystallization, and with optimal behavior in service.
