Assembly

Place the crumbled biscuit (20-25g) into a ring, press down softly then unmould immediately. Spray some cocoa butter melted to 35°C. When the coconut & sudachi sorbet is ready, fill the ring with it and place in the freezer. Unmould the sorbet with the help of a torch and spray the cocoa butter yellow. Unmould the mini-sphere of strawberry sauce then dip it into the white chocolate and cocoa butter mix. Place a small piece of gold leaf onto the sphere using a cocktail stick, leave to rest in the fridge. Place the pressed biscuit onto a plate, add the coconut & sudachi sorbet, top with a quenelle of strawberry sorbet. Position some meringues. Place the strawberry sauce sphere at the side of the arrangement and decorate with some drops of raspberry sauce.
