Critical Success Points

  • Properly temper the chocolate (34‑35 °C) to obtain a shiny, snap‑crisp shell
  • Whip egg whites to stiff peaks with sugar
  • Fold the whites into the ganache gently to retain volume
  • Allow shells and mousse to cool completely before unmolding

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful with very hot chocolate (45 °C) to avoid burns
  • Handle hot cream with caution to avoid scalding
  • Use fresh or pasteurized eggs to reduce salmonella risk
