[1st contest] [Entremet Mangue-Citron[Lv.intemediate]

The first time I made an entremet, it didn't work well because I couldn't find any recipe using Agar Agar Powder for the cream and especially the glaze (all the available recipes use gelatin). So after several trials, I found out the appropriate amount of Agar Agar Powder I should add to an entremet at each step so it won't melt or be too sticky. However, marrying mango to lemon is the first trial. I always used to combine mango to passion fruit and I'm really satisfied with the freshness the lemon brings to the mango sweetness.

My name is Asma Ayari, I'm 32 years old. I'm from Tunisia and I have a Ph.D in immunology. I'm married and a happy mom of a 2 years old daughter. I lived for four years in France, where I discovered the French pastry. Since I came to the USA, I started making and sharing my vision of desserts on social media (Facebook & Instagram) which is mainly about French pastry, but sometimes I propose other countries' desserts.
