Step into haute pastry with the 3D Hazelnut Mold, born from the prestigious collaboration between Chef Cédric Grolet and Pavoni Italia.

Patissland Expert Tips for a Successful Trompe-l'œil
-
Assembly: Prepare a thin hazelnut chocolate shell, then fill the inside with a light mousse and a flowing praline insert for a surprise effect upon tasting.
-
Flawless Unmolding: To preserve the spherical shape and details, freeze your preparation thoroughly (minimum -18°C). The flexibility of Pavoni silicone allows releasing the shape with simple pressure.
-
The "Shell" Finish: For the visual aspect, we recommend a brown velvet spray for the powdered/snow effect on the base, and a light brushing with gold coloring or a chocolate mirror glaze for the hazelnut cap.
