Presentation

1. Use a skewer to pick out the guava insert.
2. Dip the inserts into the coconut mousse several times and remove them by swirling them around. Put them back into freezer immediately.
3. After about an hour, use a palette knife and spread some
coconut mousse on the frozen cakes to give them the texture of “guava”.
Put them back into the freezer.
4. Prepare a “velvet” mix to coat the guavas by mixing half white
chocolate, half cocoa butter and some fat soluble green coloring.
5. Heat the mix to 45˚C, add a few pinches of green tea powder and cocoa powder, mix them lightly but do not dissolve
the powders completely.
6. Dip the frozen “guava” quickly in the “velvet” mix.
7. Use a pastry brush to sprinkle some cocoa powder on the guavas to give them a realistic effect. Finish by adding the stems.
