Critical Success Points

  • Whisk the mascarpone until a completely smooth texture is achieved.
  • Sift the cornstarch to avoid lumps.
  • Baking: the centre should remain slightly trembling, otherwise the dessert will be too dry.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with kitchen gloves.
  • Be careful with the zester and knife to avoid cuts.
  • Eggs are cooked during baking, but ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 70 °C.
