    Assembly

    Spread 800 g of aurora biscuit mixture onto a Silpat® using a frame (35.5 x 55cm). Bake in a convection oven at 190°C about 10 minutes. Clear on a cooling rack once out of the oven.

    Spread 2000 g of pineapple compote onto the crust side of the aurora biscuit into a frame (35.5 x 55cm) and freeze. Spread 800 g of exotic cocktail cremeux on top and put back in the freezer. Cut out 4 x 55 cm insert strips. Line a frame (6 x 6 x 57 cm) with plastic wrap. Pipe out 450 g of coco mousse. Lay a first insert strip. Pipe out again 200 g of coco mousse then lay the second insert strip. Smooth over the top and freeze.

    Unmold and spray a thin layer of hot glaze on the log bars. Apply a fine edging of grated coconut / lime zest blend along the base.

    Draw a 4 x 25 cm strip at the back of a baking paper. Whip and pipe out the decorative mascarpone cream in an irregular way on the delimited strip using a St Honoré nozzle. Freeze and put on top of the logs.

    Decorate with white chocolate fans, a few passion fruit glaze drops, lime zest, fresh coconut shavings and the log tips.
