Critical Success Points

  • Soften the butter without melting it completely
  • Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue
  • Temper the chocolate to 30‑31 °C for the ribbons
  • Freeze each step to ensure structural stability

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven (170‑180 °C).
  • Melt the chocolate carefully to avoid burns.
  • Use a very sharp knife to cut the dacquoise strips.
  • Wear gloves or a cloth when handling the fragile crunchy layer.
  • Do not leave children unsupervised near the freezer.
