Ingredients for the Coating

Noisette Sponge:

Combine the first six ingredients in a food processor and blend for 2 minutes. Prepare beurre noisette by heating butter until it develops a characteristic nutty aroma. Add the brown butter to the mixture and process for an additional minute. Whip the egg whites and sugar into a meringue, then gently fold into the base using a spatula. Fold in the sifted flour and baking powder. Bake at 150°C for 20 minutes.

Pear-Ghana Ganache:

Bring the first portion of heavy cream to a simmer and pour over the chocolate and gelatin. Emulsify using an immersion blender. Incorporate the pear puree and mix well. Add melted cocoa butter and stir to combine. Add the cold heavy cream and blend until smooth and homogeneous. Cover with plastic wrap in direct contact with the surface and refrigerate for 6 hours to stabilize.

Pear & Linden Blossom Filling:

Prepare an infusion by steeping linden blossom in water for 30 minutes. Combine the infusion with puree, glucose, sugar, and starch to cook a sauce. Dice the pear into brunoise, sauté for 5 minutes, then combine with the linden sauce. Pour into molds and freeze.
