Critical Success Points

  • Assembling the macaron batter and respecting the macaronage point
  • Resting and baking the macarons (avoid overbaking)
  • Complete dissolution of gelatin in the strawberry puree
  • Infusing vanilla in the cream and incorporating into white chocolate
  • Delicate incorporation of whipped cream to preserve volume
  • Marbling the two mousses without liquefying them
  • Using the torch to release the parchment without burning the mousse

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot cream carefully to avoid burns.
  • Use the torch at a safe distance and do not point it toward the eyes.
  • Be careful of hot surfaces of the oven and the water bath.
