​

For the top of the hat:

Line a bowl 15 cm in diameter, 7 cm deep, with cling film.

Alternate layers of cream and cookies cut to size of bowl.

Transfer to the freezer.

 

Unmold the bowl, cover with a thin layer of mousseline cream.

Arrange the meringue using a “caned” nozzle, pass lightly with a blowtorch.

Place the top of the hat on the base and finish with a decoration of marzipan and fruit.
