Once cold, crush in the American glass until you get a fine powder.

Arrange the rectangles of obulato on top of a flat tray with silpat.

Sprinkle caramel powder with corn from above, so that the oblate remains covered by a uniform and thin layer of candy. Sprinkle with a little salt.

FOR THE BASE OF CORN CREAM

Crush the corn with the water indicated in the American glass until you get a fine cream.

Strain through the cheese and add calcium gluconolactate, dissolve and add xanthan.

Crush with the help of an electric blender until there are no lumps, and extract the air inside with the help of a vacuum machine.

FOR MOULDED MULTI-SPHERICAL CORN

With the help of a syringe, pour in the cold alginate base 0.5 cm diameter drops of corn cream.

Leave the corn spheres in the alginate bath so that the outer film is formed. Place in gelatin water for one minute.

With a perforated spoon, collect 18 balls of corn at once, drain well of alginate and arrange them in a 2 x 5 cm rectamgular mould, so that all the balls are slightly pressed between them.

Store in the refrigerator for two hours.

After this time, remove the multi-spherical moulded corn from the mould, and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Grind with the help of a blender and strain.

Place the foie gras cream in a rectangular 2 x 5 x 0.5 cm mould. Freeze. (We need one rectangle of foie gras per person).
