Instructions

For the Graham Cracker:

  1. Heat oven to 325°F. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar until creamy. In a separate bowl, mix to combine the remaining ingredients. Mix into the sugar and butter mixture until just combined, remaining careful not to over-mix. Transfer to a sheet tray. Bake until golden-brown, approximately 18 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until crumbled. Reserve.

For the Mostachon Base:

  1. Heat oven to 329°F. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk together egg white and sugar until hard peaks form. Stir in baking powder. In a separate bowl, mix to combine pecans and 120 grams Graham Cracker. Using a spatula, carefully fold Graham Cracker mixture into the meringue. Transfer the mixture to round silicone molds. Bake 30 minutes. Let cool completely.

For the Coconut Cream:

  1. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add all ingredients. Whisk until fluffy and creamy. Set aside.

For the Simple Syrup

  1. In a pot, combine glucose with 655 grams water. Bring to 104°F. In a bowl, mix to combine all remaining ingredients then stir the mixture into the pot. Bring to a boil. Strain and cool over an ice bath.

For the Mango Sorbet:

  1. Using an immersion blender, blend together mango purée and 233 grams Simple Syrup. Continue adding Simple Syrup until the mixture reads 29 Brix on a refractometer. Transfer to an ice cream machine and process according to manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze until needed.

To Assemble and Serve:

  1. On a serving plate, layer mango slices so they are roughly the shape of the Mostachon Base. Top with Mostachon Base followed by 1 quenelle of Coconut Cream and a beautiful scoop of Mango Sorbet.
