Critical Success Points

  • Melt the butter without burning it and let it cool completely.
  • Whisk the eggs and sugar until fully whitened.
  • Achieve the correct syrup temperature (121 °C) for the Italian meringue.
  • Incorporate the meringue into the whipped cream without deflating it.
  • Cut the biscuit precisely so the heart does not overhang.
  • Freeze the heart long enough before unmolding.

Safety Warnings

  • The sugar syrup reaches 121 °C – handle with care and use a thermometer.
  • Use the torch at a safe distance to avoid burns.
  • Very hot melted butter can cause burns – let cool before incorporating.
