Prepare the pickled forest fruit. Churn the ice cream and pipe 30g into ring-shaped molds . Freeze.Make the P125 shortcrust pastry and spread it out to 2mm. Freeze it and cut it into rings using an 8.5cm diameter perforated cutter and a 5.5cm diameter cutter. Bake at 150°C for 20 minutes.Make the forest fruit jelly and pour it into a 40×30cm frame on a silicone mat. Leave to cool. Using a 5.5cm diameter cutter, cut out jelly circles. Store in the refrigerator with its surface covered with a sheet of guitar paper.Make the mint crémeux and pour 15g into exipan ring-shaped molds . Freeze.Make the forest fruit cont, turn out the mint crémeux and soak each one in the cont. Freeze. Cool down the remaining cont and keep it for the compote.Whip up the whipped ganache, taking care to retain its supple texture.
