RED, WHITE AND BLUE (WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE, BLUEBERRY GELEE, COCONUT DACQUIOSE WITH HAZELNUT COOKIE)

Steps:

• For the glaze: Combine the water, glucose and sugar in a small pot and bring to a boil. Put the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot sugar mixture over the chocolate. Allow it to sit a minute, then emulsify with a whisk. Add the gelatin and sweetened condensed milk and stir to combine. Color to the desired shade of red with the red gel paste. Hold at 86 degrees F.
• For the gelee: Combine the sugar and pectin in a small bowl. Add the glucose to the blueberry puree and warm in a small pot. Add the sugar/pectin mixture to the puree and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and strain. Fill twelve 3-ounce silicone dome molds one-third of the way up with the gelee and freeze.
• For the white chocolate mousse: Combine the sugar and water in a small pot over medium-high heat and cook to 250 degrees F. Meanwhile, whip the egg yolks on high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the yolks while whisking. Fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture.
• Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl to 110 degrees F in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the cream and yolk mixture until completely combined. Fill a piping bag without a tip with the mousse. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the hazelnut cookie: Cream the butter, sugar, hazelnut flour and cinnamon in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the eggs and mix. Mix in the cake flour. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Roll the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut into at least twelve 3-inch stars and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until opaque and an even golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on the sheet on a baking rack.

• Spread out the batter 1/8 inch thick onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until just golden at the edges, 12 to 13 minutes.
• For the sorbet: Dissolve the sugar with the water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Let cool and then add to the prickly pear and pear purees. Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until ready to serve.
• For the raspberry sauce: Puree the raspberries with the sugar in a blender or food processor. Strain the mixture and adjust the sweetness with additional sugar if needed.
• To assemble: Cut the dacquoise into at least 12 circles with a 2-inch round cutter. Fill twelve 4-ounce dome molds three-quarters full with the mousse. Place a frozen blueberry gelee in the center of each and press lightly to push the mousse up the sides. Fill the molds to the top with more mousse and place a dacquoise round on top. Freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.
