Hi Samia.
Welcome to the Scoolinary community, and thank you for your questions!
–Substituting Silver Gelatin with Powdered Gelatin:
Yes, you can substitute silver gelatin sheets with powdered gelatin. The equivalence is as follows:
One gelatin sheet (silver grade) weighs approximately 2 g and has the same gelling power as 1 g of powdered gelatin.
To substitute, hydrate the powdered gelatin with 5 times its weight in cold water (e.g., 1 g of gelatin with 5 g of water), then gently heat it until dissolved before adding it to your preparation.
–Replacing Valrhona Absolut Neutral:
You can omit the Valrhona Absolut Neutral and use a ready-made neutral glaze or prepare a homemade one.
Here’s a basic recipe:
Ingredients:
100 g water
100 g sugar
3 g gelatin (pre-hydrated with 15 g cold water)
Instructions:
1. Boil the water and sugar until fully dissolved.
2. Remove from heat, add the hydrated gelatin, and mix until smooth.
3. Let it cool slightly before using.
This glaze works perfectly to add shine and maintain the freshness of your recipe.
We hope this information is helpful.
Best regards!

Hi dear Susan , thanm you so much for taking the time to answer my questions your answers are very helpful . I have one question please the recipe for mango and Lemon entremet in the pdf are the ingredients of lemon mousse , glaze , cake , mango compote and mango creamy sufficient for 3 cakes of 16 cm diameter each? And is it possible to scale it down if it’s my first trial?

Hi Samia.
I’m reviewing the recipes, and they have different yields.
For example, the sponge yields about 5 to 6 16cm diameter rings.
The creamy filling yields about 4 16cm diameter rings, and the compote yields about 3 to 4 16cm diameter rings.
I mainly base it on the amount the chef suggests, which is approximately 200 to 250 grams of compote or creamy filling per 16cm diameter ring.
So, if you want to make this recipe for only one 16cm diameter ring, you would need to calculate the quantities for each recipe that makes up the entremet.
Let me know, do you want to make just one entremet that’s 16cm in diameter, or are you trying other sizes for the dessert?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards.
