Critical Success Points

  • Blooming gelatin correctly for each component
  • Cooking custard and mousse bases to exactly 80°C
  • Cooling mixtures to 30°C before folding or setting
  • Ensuring mirror glaze reaches 28°C before pouring
  • Freezing layers completely before handling

Safety Warnings

  • Hot sugar syrup can cause severe burns – handle with care.
  • Use a thermometer to avoid overheating custard; overheating can cause curdling.
  • Gelatin must be fully dissolved to prevent grainy texture.
