Preheat the oven to 165°C and cook the rectangles on silpats for 14 minutes or until well cooked and brown.

For the Red Pepper Puree:

For the Raspberry and Red Pepper Compote:
Bloom the gelatin in cold water for at least 20 minutes. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the raspberry puree, sugar, and vinegar. In a small saucepan, heat the pepper puree and dissolve the gelatin into it. Pour the pepper and gelatin mixture over the raspberry mixture and whisk vigorously. Line the frame with the rhodoid paper and weight out 1600 grams of compote. Smooth out the surface with a palette knife and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.

For the Pâte à Bombe:
In a bain-marie, heat the yolks and syrup to 85°C. Return to the mixer at high-speed. Continue mixing on low as you make the Parmigiano Reggiano Cream.

For the Parmigiano Reggiano Cream:
Bloom the gelatin in cold water for at least 20 minutes. Boil the cream, add the gelatin and mix well. Gradually add the cream to the pâte à bombe, mixing at a medium-high speed. Once well mixed, turn the speed to low and add the Parmigiano Reggiano and whipped cream. Immediately weigh out 1800 grams of the cream and spread out over the Raspberry and Red Pepper Compote, smoothing it with a palette knife. Freeze for at least 2 hours. Once frozen, cut the frozen layers into rectangles that measure 2.5 by 18 centimeters and store covered in the freezer.

For the Raspberry Jam:
Blend the whole fruits in the mixer for about 10-15 minutes to burst the seeds. Mix together the pectin and sugar in a small bowl. In a very large pot, boil the puree with the sugar and pectin mixture for 3-4 minutes before adding the lemon juice. Pour the jam into a pan to cool, covered with plastic wrap.

For the Sugared Parmigiano Reggiano Tuiles:
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Mix the Parmigginao and isomalt together. Sprinke a layer on a silpat and cover with another silpat. Bake at 170°C for 20 minutes and allow to cool completely before removing the top silpat. Once cool, mix in the Robot-Coupe. Using 3 by 19 centimeter tuile molds, sprinkle rectangles of tuile powder and bake again at 170°C for 5 minutes. Allow to cool before removing the mold.

For the Rasberry and Red Pepper Sauce:
Gently heat all the ingredients in a pot until the sugar dissolves. Store in the fridge.
