Making the creamy biscuit

Now it’s time to make the creamy cookie!

All you need is a saucepan and 100g of 35% single cream.

Add the vanilla, flattening the pod with the back of a knife, then splitting it in half on the side to open it and remove the seeds with the blade of the knife.

Once the vanilla beans have been added to the cream, pour in 50g of blond vergeoise while stirring with a whisk.

Place the mixture on the heat, stirring until simmering.

Add 3g gelatine and stir before adding the chocolate.

Now for the chocolate! 🍫

Pour your preparation over the 90g of Valrhona ivory couverture chocolate. Let the chocolate set at the temperature of the cream.

As soon as it starts to set, use a whisk to start stirring in the middle, before enlarging the movement towards the outside and stirring energetically.👩‍🍳

In a separate bowl, pour 400g of fromage blanc des limousins! 🥛

Stir the fromage blanc into the rest of the mixture, to obtain a nice cream, and cool it gently before beating it with a mixer.

Once the cream has cooled down, pour it into the bowl of your mixer and remove it with a horn. Next, whip the cream until it rises, then pipe it into a piping bag.

Making the cookies

In the bowl of your food processor, if you have one, pour the sugar and butter to cream the butter (mix it with the sugar to obtain a creamy appearance).

Then add the cocoa, flour and fleur de sel. Mix before adding the egg to bind the cookie dough.

Spread some flour on your work surface and work the dough into a homogeneous “ball”.

Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a small thickness, adding more flour if necessary. Make sure the dough is uniform and not sticky.

Using the cookie cutters you’ve selected, place them on the dough to create the cookie shape of your choice. Normally, you should have 24 cookie pieces with your dough.

Place the cookies in the oven for 15 min at 180°c. 🧑‍🍳

Assembling cookies and making hot chocolate

Using your piping bag, you’ll add the cream to the cookies.

Pssst in the video Dorian gives you tips on how to use the piping bag 😉

Store your cookies in a cool place before tasting. 😋

Making the hot chocolate:

In a saucepan, pour 600g of Limousin milk, add the vanilla beans, the cinnamon stick, grate half a tonka bean and 100g of cream.

Heat the mixture, stirring with a whisk, and then pour in the 160g of dark chocolate couverture, stirring with a whisk.

You can either leave it to rest overnight in the fridge and reheat it the next day, or enjoy it straight away!
