- Bake the sponge in a fan-assisted oven at 445°F (230°C) for approx. 6-7 minutes.

Method for the Coffee Dulcey 35% Crémeux
- Heat the milk to a simmer on a medium heat. Add the coffee beans. Cover with cling film and leave to infuse for 15 minutes.
- Strain and reserve the coffee-infused milk, then heat it again. Use a whisk to mix (but not beat) the egg yolks and sugar. Pour the coffee-infused milk into this mixture, stirring all the time.
- Decant into a saucepan on a low heat. Stir gently until the cream thickens slightly and sticks to the back of the spatula. Use a thermometer to check the temperature is at 82°C.
- Once this coffee crème anglaise has reached this temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain. Add the rehydrated gelatine.
- Gradually combine with the melted Dulcey 35% until it has a smooth, glossy, elastic texture. Mix using a hand blender to form a perfect emulsion and ensure a smooth crémeux. Cover the surface with cling film and store in the refrigerator.

Method for assembly
- Cut three 30×10cm strips of coffee-flavoured Viennese sponge.
- Take a 30×10cm pan that is 5cm high. Place a strip of sponge in the pan and soak it in the coffee syrup. On top, pipe 120g of Dulcey 35% coffee crémeux and smooth it out. Freeze.
- Beat 120g of the whipped ganache until it has a smooth texture that will pipe easily. Then, pipe it onto the first layer of Dulcey 35% coffee crémeux and smooth it out. Place a strip of sponge on top, soak it in syrup and put the pan in the freezer.
- Repeat the above instructions.
- Once frozen, turn out from the pan and cut into 3cm wide pieces.
- Place the pieces on their sides (so that all the layers are visible) and cover the top with clear glaze for an extra shiny finish. Return to the freezer.
- Coat the top and sides with the hazelnut Dulcey 35% glaze. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Finally, place it in the fridge to defrost the day before serving.
