Blend all ingredients for the ice cream at 80°C, cool and freeze in paco or frix cups.

For the date puree, mix the dates and juice, freeze in paco cups and blender until smooth. Make balls with a Parisienne drill.

Bring apple juice, thyme and pepper to a boil, add beet juice to half of the juice and allow to cool.

Coarsely chop the Shiso Purple, mix with the marinade with the beet juice and half of the quince and cook under vacuum.

Cook the other quince balls in the natural marinade. For the quince puree, cook all the ingredients on medium heat and blender until smooth.

Place a slice of the tureen on the plate and garnish the 2 preparations with quince balls. Finish with the purees, ice and cresses.
