Recipe Step by Step
Whipped praline ganache

Combine a third of the hot milk with the milk and starch mixture.
Put all the ingredients back in the pan and bring to the boil.
Take the pan off the heat and add the bloomed gelatine.
Gradually combine this with the smooth 50% nutty almond and hazelnut praliné and butter, emulsifying them with a spatula
as you do so.
Add the chilled cream.
Blend with a hand blender until you have a perfect emulsion.
Leave to set in the refrigerator, preferably for 12 hours.

Assembly and finishing
Line the individual cake rings with baking paper. Pipe the butternut fondants until the rings are two-thirds full, then place the MANJARI 64% inserts in the center. Bake immediately for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C in a fan-assisted oven. While the cakes are cooking, whip the ganache and pipe onto the cold serving dish in an arch shape. Add the streusel and hazelnut pieces. Once out of the oven, remove the cake ring and baking paper and carefully place on the plate. Finish by placing the tuile on the fondant. Serve and enjoy as soon as possible.
