Cep sand

In a medium-size bowl, mix all the ingredients than knead by hand until even.Sprinkle water on the work surface and spread out a layer of cling film. Place half of the dough on top and with the aid of the film make a roll about 15cm long. Press gently to keep it firm. Repeat the procedure with the other half of the dough. Set aside the rolls in the refrigerator until firm (1 hour, approximately).Remove from the refrigerator, unwrap and grate in a grater (finest side).Place the shavings on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and cook for 30 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 130 ºC.Take out the oven, leave to cool and set aside at room temperature in a labelled plastic container until serving.

Add the remaining juice and blend again.Pour the mixture into a bowl and place the bowl in the vacuum machine to remove air. Place the mixture in a feeding bottle.Fill each balloon with 28 to 35g of the mixture. Fill a bowl with nitrogen and dip the ballons in it.As soon as they are stiff, place in the freezer (drawer) until serving.
