Method

Mousse de Gianduja

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until soft. Once softened, remove and squeeze out excess water.

    Melt the Gianduja

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the gianduja chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and set aside.

    Combine Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale. Then, gently fold in the melted gianduja and the softened gelatin.

  5. 5

    Fold in Cream

    Carefully fold in the whipped cream into the gianduja mixture until fully combined. Refrigerate until set.

Praliné

  1. 6

    Toast the Hazelnuts

    Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown, then let cool and chop coarsely.

  2. 7

    Make the Praliné

    In a saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns a golden caramel. Add the toasted hazelnuts and stir quickly to coat. Pour onto a baking sheet to cool, then chop into small pieces.

    Prepare the Gelatin

    Soak the gelatin sheet in cold water for about 5 minutes. Remove and squeeze out excess water.
