5. Use a piping bag to create a form and bake for around 4 hours at 80°.

To make the sorbet:

2. Place in the sorbet mould and freeze (-20°).
3. Once the mixture has taken, add the egg whites and blend.

To decorate:

2. Create decorations using your chosen moulds, and set aside.

To form:

1. Put down a disk of Bleu d’Auvergne meringue then a scoop of sorbet and cover with a second disk of meringue.
2. Place the whipped cream on top using an icing bag. To finish, add a few pear balls and the sugar decorations.
