Method
- Base
Briefly mix all ingredients into a creamed (piped-type) dough, then chill. Mix through again and add extra water if necessary. Roll out to 5.5 mm thickness and line vlaai tins of 22 cm diameter.
- Filling
Mix all ingredients for 3 minutes at medium speed with the flat beater into a chocolate batter.
- Filling
Spread about 50 g Confibel Apricot on the vlaai base and about 300 g chocolate batter on top. Bake in a deck oven at 200°C (rotary oven 180°C) for 25 minutes. Leave to cool.
- Filling
Pipe a spiral of about 50 g Delifruit Orange onto the base and freeze.
- Orange bavarois
Mix the Fond with the water, then add the Compound. Fold in the semi-whipped cream in two stages. Spread about 400 g bavarois on the vlaai and freeze.
- Ghost decoration
Mix Silvia with the water. Whisk at the highest speed with a whisk to a firm foam. Pipe drops and then bake in a deck oven at 110°C (rotary oven 90°C) for 40 minutes. Pipe chocolate eyes on the meringue drops.
- Finishing
Warm the Souplesse to 40°C, pour it over the vlaai and finish as desired.
