Preparation

1
Vanilla ganache
Soften gelatine in cold water. In a saucepan, heat 120g Crème d’Isigny A.O.P. Isigny Sainte-Mère and the contents of the vanilla pods until boiling. Remove from heat and add the drained gelatine.
Melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie and pour in the hot Crème d’Isigny A.O.P. Isigny Sainte-Mère in batches, mixing with a maryse. Pour in the remaining unheated PDO Isigny cream, mix again, then filter on contact and refrigerate overnight.

Creamy caramel insert
Whisk the yolks in a bowl, then pour the Isigny Sainte-Mère salted butter caramel coulis over them while continuing to whisk. Add the PDO Isigny cream and heat until the mixture reaches 82°. Remove from the heat, add the drained gelatine and pour into an insert mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours.
This is a fondant caramel insert, which will remain slightly sticky when unmolded, so work around it with the tip of a knife to remove it easily from the mold. -

Cocoa sponge cake
Preheat oven to 180° traditional heat.Beat egg yolks and brown sugar until pale. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, then fold into the yolks using a spatula.
Gradually add the flour and cocoa to the previous mixture, always using the spatula to avoid breaking the whites.
Pour the batter onto a lined baking sheet, forming a wide strip. Bake for 10 minutes, cooling on a wire rack, then cut a strip of sponge cake to the exact size of your log mould.
