Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Prepare a baking ring with parchment paper. Cream butter, sugar, and salt. Add yolk, flour, pistachios, and baking powder. Bake 10–15 minutes, cool, and slice into two discs.
2. Warm cream and pour over chocolate. Stir until smooth. Mix in melted honey and butter, then vanilla. Cool, pipe onto sable discs, and chill.
3. Simmer raspberries with water and lemon juice. Puree, strain, and stir in agar-agar. Pour into mold with halved raspberries around the edge. Chill until set.
4. Heat milk, vanilla, and pistachio paste. Whisk yolks with sugar. Temper, return to pan, and cook until thickened. Stir in melted agar-agar. Cool, then fold in whipped cream. Layer sable, ganache, mousse, and raspberry gel in mold. Freeze 6–7 hours.
5. Heat raspberry puree with glucose, sugar, and cream. Stir in agar-agar with lemon juice. Cool slightly, then glaze frozen entremet. Chill overnight before serving.
Notes
Use alcohol-free vanilla flavor for a clean taste. Agar-agar provides structure without altering flavor. Chill the entremet overnight for the best results.
