Hi everyone ! welcome to "Les plaisirs sucrés d'Antoine" I hope you're fine
and that you had a very nice Christmas time
today in this new video I attack straight with my 2019 king's cake
I challenged myself once again to make a crown looking king's cake
filled with a light almond cream
I pull on my apron and I show you how to bake it
to start my recipe, I first make the puff pastry belt in between which I'll pipe the almond light cream
you'll need these ingredients
approx 700 g of home made puff pastry, you can find the tutorial on my channel, I put the link in description box
and 20g of icing sugar
what I do first is to roll out the puff pastry in the length
I flour
I roll it out on my counter
I have a rolling mill to make pastas, I don't use is very often so it's time to make it work
but you can do it only with your rolling pin
once it's slightly rolled out I cut it into 2 parts
I put it upside down in the flour
for it not to stick
I pass it trough the rolling mill with a wide opening
I get a big ribbon of puff pastry
I reduce the opening
once I get the ribbon
I roll it around my 22 cm in diametre entremet tin
and 6 cm high
I cut 3 extra cm
I unroll it
so I have my ribbon
with the help of an 18 cm in diametre cutter
you can cut the dough
once it's done
I roll it around
I set it on a baking mat
what I do next is take an adjustable tart cercle
that I put around the dough
I squeeze
I put it on a grid
and I bake it for 30 min at 180°C
after 30 min, I remove the cercle
and the one inside
and I sprinkle with icing sugar
I found a way not to burn my fingers
I put it back on the grid, and I bake it again until the sugar turns into caramel
you have ton check it yourself
if you have some remaining sugar
take a blowtorch and finish the job
put the crown on a serving plate and do it again with a 16 cm in diameter entrement tin
make a regular puff pastry belt this time
when the second belt is caramelized
I cut off the excess to have a regular edge
I cut all around
I can put it with the other crown
I carry on my recipe with the light almond cream with these ingredients
340g of almond milk
60 g of egg yolks
40 g of sugar
30 g of cornstarch
35 g of butter
90 g of 30% heavy cream
to make the almond light cream, I first make a custard
in which i'll add the whipped cream once it's cold
I pour the milk in the pot
and I bring it to a simmer
while it's heating up, I drop the egg yolks in a bowl
with sugar
and I whisk
when it's creamy
I add the cornstarch
and I wait of my milk to simmer
when the milk is rady
I pour half of the milk on the mix
and I pour it back in the pot
I bake the cream until it boils and 2 min more after boiling whisking continously
when it's boiled for 2 mins
I add the butter
when it's combined I drop the custard on a baking mat covered with cling film
I fold it over
I put it in the fridge as well as my cream
when the custard is cold, I can finish the almond light cream
I whisk the cream until I get a whipped cream
when it's whipped I drop it in a bowl
I put the cold custard in my mixer
and I soften it with the whisk
when it's soft I add the whipped cream
first a spoon and I fold gently
and I finish with the rest
once it's combined I pour it in a piping bag
and carry on with the assembly
I fit the piping bag with a round tip of 11
once my puff pastry belts and the light almond cream are done
I can start the assembly and decorate it with these last elements
some sugar pearls, you can find the tutorial on my channel, I pur the link in description box
40 g of almond that I raosted 5-6 min at 160°C
15g of icing sugar
I first put roasted almonds in between the puff pastry belts
I forgot to tell you but I did another big puff pastry belt
because I found the first one to baked
I let it too long in the oven and I was not happy with it
when the almonds are set I pipe the cream
all inside
generously
then pipe little balls of cream
then I sprinkle some almonds with icing sugar
with the rest of cream, I stick my sugar candies
dont' put too much
the recipe of my 2019 king's cake is now done
don't do like me, do not forget to put a charm
I hope you enjoyed this new tutorial and learnt new technics
