Critical Success Points

  • Melting white chocolate without scorching
  • Infusing cream with vanilla bean and removing the pod
  • Emulsifying chocolate and cream to a smooth ganache
  • Making a dry caramel and coating toasted nuts quickly
  • Achieving a light, airy batter by folding meringue gently
  • Baking the roll cake just enough to stay flexible
  • Whipping the chilled ganache to soft peaks without over‑beating

Safety Warnings
