Critical Success Points

  • Mix pectin with sugar before adding the fruit.
  • Bring purées to a boil for 30 seconds then cool quickly.
  • Incorporate gelatin off the heat and dissolve fully.
  • Keep mango purée below 30 °C before folding into whipped cream.
  • Tap the mold to eliminate air bubbles before each freezing step.
  • Freeze each layer completely before adding the next.
  • Press the biscuit base firmly to prevent collapse.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of burns when handling melted chocolate and hot purées.
  • Do not let gelatin boil; it destroys its gelling power.
  • Wear kitchen gloves if handling very hot chocolate.
