The recipe,
step by step

1. 1

   Green anise chiffon cake

   In a food processor, blend the oil, butter, honey, egg yolks and egg whites (1) then sift and add the flour, green anise powder, starch and baking powder. Whisk the egg whites (2) with the sugar. Incorporate into the first mixture. Spread the cake onto a Silpat® using a frame which will be removed prior to baking. Bake at 150 °C for 30 minutes, then immediately set out onto a wire rack.
2. 2

   Morello Cherry compote

   Coarsely chop the frozen Morello cherries in a food processor. Next, boil them for 5 minutes and then retrieve the juice to infuse the lemon zest and cloves. Strain through a fine sieve. Add the Morello cherry puree and heat to 40 °C, add the pectin NH mixed with 2/3 of the sugar and bring everything to a boil. Mix the Xanthan with the 1/3 of the remaining sugar and incorporate into the puree. Blend. Add the Morello cherry pieces and bring back to a boil for 3 minutes. Add the hydrated gelatine, bitter almond flavouring and the solution of citric acid. Pour directly over the cake in a 1/2 frame. Freeze. Use a cutter to cut out rounds of 5.5 cm in diameter

   Yogurt mousse

   Boil the milk, sugar and lemon zest, leave to infuse for 3 minutes with the lid on, then add the yoghurt powder and melted gelatine. Pour the hot mixture through a fine sieve to loosen the yoghurt, then with the mixture at 30 °C, incorporate the whipped cream.

   Assembly

   Pipe 50 g of yogurt mousse into each round Silikomart® (SF127) mould, ensuring that the edges are well lined. Arrange the insert and smooth over. Pipe 12 g of yogurt mousse into each Silikomart® (SF164) mini-pillow mould, then pipe 8 g of Namelaka and smooth over. Place in the blast chiller

   Finishing touches

   Spray a thin layer of clear glaze mixed with 10% water onto the round and minipillow moulds. Mist with the green sauce. Pour 33°C melted pistachio & anise
   coating into 1/3 of the base of each round mould, and scrape the bottom. Pipe in the whipped Namelaka using a 4 mm plain nozzle and arrange the misted mini-pillow moulds. Decorate in a cone with white chocolate pastilles and cherry glaze pearls.
