Zest of 2 oranges

For the passion fruit minispheres:

Procedure
For the Marsala gel
Infuse the Marsala with the orange zest and Sichuan pepper, all at cold temperature, for 24 hours. Strain and add water, sugar, and potato starch, then cook. Once cooled, blend with an immersion blender and add the Xanthan.
For the passion fruit minispheres
Melt the two chocolates and, meanwhile, prepare the custard by bringing the egg yolks with sugar, milk, 300 grams of cream, and vanilla to 82°C. Cool the mixture to 40°C and add the gelatin. Combine the custard with the melted chocolate and the remaining liquid cream, then fill the sphere molds. Chill.
Cook the Bauletti® in salted boiling water, drain, and place them on the Marsala gel. Add the passion fruit minispheres and some crunchy walnut bits. Garnish with candied ginger.
