Method

Pumpkin biscuit

  • Preheat the oven to 356F (180C).
  • Remove the pumpkin peel and seeds, cut the pulp it into small pieces. Then bake these pieces in the oven at 356F (180C) until soft. Refrigerate afterwards.
  • Beat the room temperature butter with sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat the eggs at room temperature and baked pumpkin with a blender until smooth; add sour cream, and beat again until smooth.
  • Pour the egg mass into the butter, and beat until smooth.
  • Sift the dry ingredients through a sieve, and mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients, and knead a homogeneous batter.
  • At the very end, add chopped pecans and lemon zest.
  • Bake in two rings with a diameter of 18cm (7.09 inch) at 347F (175C) for about 40 minutes.
  • Cool the finished biscuit on a wire rack, then wrap in cling film, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  • Then each of the biscuits must be cut lengthwise into two parts.

Peach & pumpkin confit

  • Mix the sugar with pectin and agar.
  • Heat the puree to light steam, mash with a blender until smooth, and return to the heat.
  • Pour the sugar with pectin and agar into the puree.

  • Pour into a 16cm (6.30 inch) metal ring, and freeze.

Peach & pumpkin mousse

  • Soak the gelatin in cold water.
  • Mix the umpkin puree and peach puree until smooth.
  • Melt the gelatin in the microwave until liquid, and add to the puree; then mix.
  • Whip the cream to the consistency of sour cream, and add to the fruit filling. Mix carefully.
  • Pour the mass over two metal rings with a diameter of 16cm (6.30 inch).
