INSTRUCTIONS

 
SALTED CARAMEL AND JIVARA 40% GANACHE:
  • Melt the Jivara 40% chocolate. Heat the cream and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, put one third of the sugar (around 25g) and cook while constantly stirring until it caramelizes.
  • Add another third of the sugar, cook until it browns and caramelizes as well. Repeat this again with the remaining third of the sugar.
  • Adding the sugar in several stages prevents the caramel from burning.
  • Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the caramel, vigorously stirring until it completely melts.
  • Gradually add the hot, infused cream to the caramel and butter. Heat to 219°F (104°C).
  • Leave to cool for a few minutes, then combine with the melted Jivara 40% chocolate in three batches.
  • Stir vigorously using a spatula. Mix using an immersion blender and pour into a tray.
  • Cover the surface with plastic wrap and leave to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
 
RASPBERRY INSPIRATION GANACHE:
  • Melt the Raspberry Inspiration.
  • Heat the raspberry purée with the honey. Combine the mixture a little at a time with the melted Raspberry Inspiration.
  • Blend using an immersion blender until the emulsion is perfectly smooth.
  • Cover the surface with plastic wrap and leave to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
 
CARAÏBE 66% DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
  • Melt the Caraïbe 66% chocolate. Reheat the cream and honey.
  • Pour a third over the melted chocolate. Mix vigorously with a spatula, then add another third the same way.
  • Follow the same steps with the final third.
  • Mix using an immersion blender to make a perfect emulsion.
  • Pour the mixture into a dish, seal its surface with plastic wrap and leave to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
 
CRUNCHY COATING:
  • Separately melt the 100g of Caraïbe 66% dark chocolate, 100g of Jivara 40% milk chocolate and 100g of Raspberry Inspiration.
  • Add 60g grape seed oil to each melted chocolate.
  • Mix well and set aside.
 
GLUTEN-FREE SWISS ROLL:
  • Beat the egg yolks, whole eggs and 85g portion of sugar in a food processor until the mixture triples in volume.
  • Beat the egg whites with 25g of sugar until firm (but not stiff) peaks form.
  • Gently stir the beaten egg whites into the first mixture and fold in the sifted chickpea flour and sifted starch using a spatula.
  • Spread onto a 40×30cm baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 445°F (230°C) for 5-6 minutes in a fan-assisted oven.
 
ASSEMBLING THE SPONGE:
  • After the sponge has been baked and has cooled, cut a thin layer off the edges to ensure they are straight and even.
  • Cut out four 10 × 29cm strips of sponge.
  • Spread 100g ganache onto each strip: 2 strips with the caramel ganache, 1 strip with the chocolate ganache and 1 strip with the raspberry ganache.
  • Carefully roll each sponge strip lengthways and freeze for 1 hour.
  • After freezing, cut each roll into three 8cm parts, to create a total of 12 rolls.
  • Freeze for another half hour.
  • Prepare the coating mix.
 
GLAZES:
  • Using a toothpick, immerse each Swiss roll in the different coatings.
  • Once the Swiss rolls are completely covered in coating, freeze them for 30 minutes.
  • Finally, using a slightly heated knife, cut the two ends of the rolls so that the inside is visible.
  • Leave to fully thaw before tasting.
  • The perfect recipe for a gourmet home-made snack!
