Ingredients
Preparation
-Combine the pre-crystallized chocolate with the aurea hazelnut cream.
-Add the orange zest and allow it to crystallize.
-Once the mixture has cooled, place it in the stand mixer and whip with the paddle, gently warming the mixer bowl with a heat gun.
-Once a creamy and aerated texture is achieved, pipe it over the cake using a piping bag.
CAKE COMPOSITION
-Once the cake has cooled, trim the top to create a flat surface.
-Fill the central hole with Aurea dark cream warmed to 40°C, so it becomes liquid and can properly fill the cavity.
-Decorate with the whipped cremino using a Saint-Honoré tip, allowing it to crystallize slightly to finish the cake.
