Critical Success Points

  • Toasting the nuts evenly without burning them.
  • Reaching exact temperatures: 121°C for honey and 156°C for the syrup.
  • Incorporating the hot honey and syrup into the whipped egg whites while maintaining the meringue structure.
  • Ensuring the melted cacao butter is fully emulsified with the mixture.

Safety Warnings

  • The sugar‑glucose syrup reaches 156°C; handle with extreme care to avoid burns.
  • Hot honey can splatter; pour slowly and keep face away from the stream.
  • Use oven mitts when handling hot pans.
