At a glance
First we make the brown butter and roast the strawberries into a purée – it takes a bit of time, but it gives the dessert its exceptional flavor and moist texture. Next we whip up the base batter, split it into vanilla and strawberry portions, create a marbled effect in the bunny mold, and bake. Finally, we temper the ruby chocolate briefly so the bunny gets a beautiful shine and a satisfying snap.

Making the nutty brown butter
Place the butter in a saucepan. Let it sizzle and foam over medium heat. As soon as you catch that hazelnut-like aroma and see brown flecks forming on the bottom, pour it straight into a bowl. Chill it in the fridge until it firms up to a slightly softened consistency (about 1 hour).

Making a smooth strawberry purée
Roast the frozen strawberries with sugar at 200 °C (top and bottom heat) for about 30 minutes. Blend them smooth in a bowl, then pass through a fine sieve so no seeds end up in the batter. Let the purée cool completely before using it.

Prepping the mold thoroughly
Take a knob of butter and use a pastry brush to carefully coat every little crevice of the bunny mold. Then dust the mold evenly with flour and tap out the excess. This is the only way to guarantee the bunny will unmold cleanly, ears and all.
