350g whipping cream

Heat the milk and salt, add the gelatin.

Gradually pour this mixture onto the PISTACHIO PRALINÉ 42%. Initially, the mixture will split.

Emulsify in a stand mixer with a paddle.

Stabilize by gradually adding the cold cream to obtain a glossy and elastic mixture.

Finish the emulsion with the immersion blender. Let set in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

Bring the chai infusion with glucose, invert sugar and salt back to boil. Take off the heat, add gelatin.

Gradually pour the hot mixture over the melted ORELYS 35% chocolate. Immediately mix using an immersion blender to make a perfect emulsion. Maintain this texture right to the end of the mixing stage while adding the hot liquid.

Add the remaining cold cream while mixing.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to crystallize.
