Critical Success Points

  • Caramelizing sugar for the crunch layer must not burn
  • Tempering the egg‑yolk mixture for pastry cream to avoid curdling
  • Setting each layer in the freezer before adding the next to ensure structural stability
  • Using a candy thermometer for the transparent glaze to achieve the correct shine

Safety Warnings

  • Caramelized sugar reaches >170 °C – handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Use a thermometer when heating sugar for the glaze to prevent scorching.
  • Gelatin must be fully dissolved in hot liquid to avoid lumps.
  • Work with hot liquids using oven mitts and keep children away.
