Critical Success Points

  • Reaching 60 °C before adding pectin to the raspberry purée.
  • Tempering the egg yolk mixture into the hot coconut‑vanilla custard.
  • Cooking the raspberry gelée to a rolling boil and maintaining it for 5 minutes.
  • Baking the dacquoise discs just until lightly golden (15 minutes at 180 °C).
  • Achieving the correct sugar‑syrup temperature (121‑125 °C) for marshmallows.
  • Properly incorporating the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites without deflating them.
  • Coating the frozen entremets with red cocoa‑butter spray in a well‑ventilated area.
