Yield & Time:

Servings / Yield: Fits as an insert in a 16 cm diameter cake 

Total Active Working Time: 10 minutes
Approximate hands-on time only. Excludes weighing ingredients, baking, cooling, freezing, resting and assembly time, as well as the time required to prepare chocolate decorations.

A bright and tangy gel made with fruit purée and agar agar, this component adds a fresh contrast to richer cake elements.

Its “broken” texture adds visual interest and a slightly fluid yet firm consistency that’s ideal for both entremets and decoration.
