Critical Success Points

  • Caramelizing the pears without burning
  • Folding the meringue gently to keep air
  • Tempering the custard to avoid curdling
  • Cooling the custard fully before adding whipped cream
  • Removing the thin biscuit crust for a smooth finish
  • Assembling quickly before the gelatin sets

Safety Warnings

  • Hot caramel can cause severe burns; stir constantly and keep children away.
  • When using a kitchen torch, work in a well‑ventilated area and keep flammable objects away.
  • Handle raw eggs with clean utensils to avoid salmonella risk.
