Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Full rest of the puff pastry disc (3 h 45) to prevent shrinking.
- • Achieve the correct consistency of the choux pastry (smooth, glossy ball).
- • Precise cooking of the meringue syrup (116 °C) and caramel (155‑160 °C).
- • Delicate folding of the meringue into the pastry cream to avoid loss of volume.
- • Handling hot caramel – risk of burns.
Safety Warnings
- • The caramel reaches over 150 °C – handle with gloves and avoid splatters.
- • The oven is very hot (180 °C) – use oven mitts.
- • The torch produces an open flame – do not point it at flammable materials.
