Roasted and caramelized hazelnut pieces, ready to use.

2Uses
- Paris-Brest finishing: sprinkle over the praline cream or roll the choux pastry in them before baking.
- Crunchy coating for rolled yule logs.
- Tart base crunch, mixed with melted chocolate (approximately 30 to 40 g per 22 cm tart).
- Cookie topping before baking (5 to 10 g per cookie).
- Fold in at the end of churning for ice cream (50 to 80 g per liter).
- Entremet decoration, placed on slightly sticky icing (15 to 25 g for 22 cm).
Please note: add the pieces at the very last step, just before serving, to preserve their crunch: when they come into contact with a moist preparation (mousse, cream, icing), they soften within 2 to 3 hours.

4Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between these and praline powder?
Praline is made by blending caramelized hazelnuts until they become an almost paste-like powder. FunCakes pieces are coarsely crushed and retain their shape as crunchy pieces, creating a visible decorative effect rather than a smooth filling.
Can they be used in gluten-free pastries?
The product (sugar and hazelnuts) is naturally gluten-free, but the label mentions possible traces due to the shared production facility: check the bag received if following a strict coeliac diet.
How many desserts can a 200 g bag decorate?
Approximately 8 to 12 individual desserts or 2 to 3 sharing-size entremets, depending on the amount used, and up to 30 to 40 cookies as a topping.
