Dough
Pistachio Mousseline Cream
Chocolate Glaze
Passion Fruit Coulis
Mango Sorbet
Method
Preparing the Dough
Make the Choux Pastry
In a saucepan, combine butter, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then add flour all at once. Stir until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pipe the dough into circular shapes onto a baking sheet.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool completely.
Making the Pistachio Mousseline Cream
Combine with Butter and Pistachio
Beat butter until creamy, then gradually add the cooled custard and pistachio paste, mixing until smooth.
Making the Chocolate Glaze
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave or double boiler, heat the chocolate and cream together until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly before using.
Preparing Passion Fruit Coulis
Making Mango Sorbet
Blend and Freeze
Blend mango puree, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until firm.
Assembling the Paris-Brest
Fill and Decorate
Slice the cooled choux pastry in half, fill with pistachio mousseline cream, and drizzle with chocolate glaze. Serve with passion fruit coulis and a scoop of mango sorbet on the side.
