  1. 1

  2. 2

    Candied lemon

    Melt lemon juice and fold in the mix of granulated sugar and pectin (rapid set or nH). Bring to a boil and allow to cool.

  3. 3

    Nougat chantilly cream

    Heat cream, nougat paste and granulated sugar at 35°C / 95°F. Fold in gelatin mass* then firmly whipped cream.

    *To calculate the gelatin mass (200 Blooms), mix 100 g of gelatin powder with 600 g of cold water for a total of 700 g. Let it inflate in the refrigerator at 5°C /40°F. Weigh the required amount of gelatin mass and melt in the microwave. It can be kept about five days in the refrigerator.
