Silken White Chocolate, Coffee Panade, Kiwi Salad, and White Chocolate-Caramel Tuile

METHOD:

For the Silken White Chocolate:
In a medium bowl over a double boiler, melt white chocolate to 45°C. In a small saucepot, combine gelatin, 450 grams soymilk, glucose, and inverted sugar and heat to 55°C. Remove mixture from heat and cool to 40°C. Transfer melted chocolate to food processor, pour in a little of the warm soy mixture, and blend until ganache breaks. With the motor running, continue adding soy mixture to obtain a tight, shiny emulsion. Add remaining soy mixture and blend till homogenous. In a large bowl, scale 1077 grams soy ganache and stir in cream and remaining 416 grams soymilk. Season with salt, pour into desired molds, and chill 4 hours to set.

For the White Chocolate-Caramel Tuile:
Preheat oven to 200°C. Melt white chocolate and set aside. In a saucepot, combine fondant, glucose, and isomalt and cook to 160°C. Remove syrup from heat and cool to 140°C. Pour syrup into the melted chocolate and mix well. Pour onto a silicone sheet and cool until fully hardened. Break up white-chocolate caramel and grind in spice grinder to a fine powder. On a parchment-lined sheet pan, sift powder into an even layer. Using a #5 round cutter, shape the powder into circles. Bake for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the powder melts and turns shiny. Transfer parchment to a flat table and cool.

For the Coffee Panade:
Preheat oven to 350°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream sugar, butter, and salt. Mix in almond meal, flour, and coffee. On a parchment-lined sheet tray crumble the dough into an even layer and bake until the mixture barely begins to darken. Pass mixture through a tamis to create a crumble.

For Kiwi Salad:
Peel and quarter kiwis. Toss with lemon juice, simple syrup, olive oil, and salt.
