Le Meilleur Pâtissier "Les Professionnels": Exclusive Collaboration
To reward the winners of the 2022 edition of Le Meilleur Pâtissier "Les Professionnels", Pierre Hermé and the M6 production team have chosen to offer them a unique collaboration with la Maison Pierre Hermé Paris.
The two winners, both instructors at the Valrhona school, had the opportunity to interpret a dessert chosen from among la Maison Pierre Hermé Paris' emblematic creations: Miraflorès, a combination of pink berries, mango and strawberry.
« We immediately agreed on the choice of the entremets Working at Valrhona, we wanted a challenge other than chocolate, so we chose a fruit combination. We are grateful for the chance we were given by this unique collaboration. Every self-respecting pastry chef dreams of it! We learned a lot, we appreciated the freedom of creation that was offered to us and these exchanges with the one who represents the excellence of French pastry.» Jérémy Aspa
Their creative work then began. The rich exchanges with Pierre Hermé and his teams allowed them to work on every detail and to adapt the recipes to the constraints of a daily reproducible production.
Giving two talented young pastry chefs the opportunity to exhibit their work to the general public seemed to me to be a fine example of sharing and transmission. I gave them the opportunity to choose a dessert from our collections, the objective being that they reinterpret it according to their sensibility. Pierre Hermé
miraflorès
A new vision of Miraflorès takes shape. A crispy pressed shortbread with marked biscuity notes, on which the fruits, mangoes and strawberries, are worked into fragrant and juicy marmalades, rich in fruit pieces. The whole is coated with a silky ganache infused with pink berries, whose slightly resinous notes and fragrance underline the fruity flavors of this dessert.
