It&#8217;s filled with homemade strawberry jam, pistachio cream and fresh strawberries for decoration. It\u2019s one of the most delicious desserts of this oh-so-creative French pastry chef. And if you ask me \u2013 it\u2019s definitely one of his most popular entremets sold in his boutiques seasonally around the world.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">So along with my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/the-sweetest-th.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Dvir<\/strong><\/a>, who\u2019s also a pastry chef (and even worked for Pierre Herme right after graduating pastry school), we copycat the Montebello entremets and got these delicious beautiful cakes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">We decided to make them in two different variations of design, and you can definitely choose you own favorite way to decorate this cake.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11719\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11719\" class=\"wp-image-11719\" title=\"Montebello - Strawberry and Pistachio Entremet\" src=\"http:\/\/oogio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/montbello2-s-1.jpg\" alt=\"Montebello - Strawberry and Pistachio Entremet\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6091382327871787\" data-ad-slot=\"7832461759\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--WPRM Recipe 23821--><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe\">\n<h2 class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-name\">Montebello &#8211; Strawberry and Pistachio Entremet<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-summary\">\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-equipment\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h4>For pistachio cream:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>250 ml. milk<\/li>\n<li>20 grams pistachio paste<\/li>\n<li>70 grams sugar<\/li>\n<li>2 large egg yolks<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>25 grams cornstarch<\/li>\n<li>50 grams butter<\/li>\n<li>125 ml. heavy cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For pistachio dacquoise:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>115 grams almond meal<\/li>\n<li>135 grams sugar powder<\/li>\n<li>25 grams chopped pistachios<\/li>\n<li>20 grams pistachio paste<\/li>\n<li>150 grams egg whites<\/li>\n<li>50 grams sugar<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>A little powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li>20 grams chopped pistachios<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For strawberry jam:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>200 grams strawberries<\/li>\n<li>70 grams sugar<\/li>\n<li>Zest of 1 orange<\/li>\n<li>2-3 tbsp. orange juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Decoration:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>500 grams fresh strawberries<\/li>\n<li>20-30 grams roasted pistachios (very finely chopped)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For glazing:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>2 tbsp. natural nappage<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp. boiling water<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-instructions\">\n<h4>Pistachio cream:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>In a small saucepan whisk milk, 35 grams of sugar, pistachio paste and vanilla extract until blended.
