        What an amazing job! 👏🏻

        The level of detail and dedication in the craquelin texture and the creaminess of the filling really stand out. I love how pistachio is the absolute star, both in color and flavor.

        Did you use homemade pistachio praliné or a store-bought one? Thank you for joining and sharing your creation for this challenge!

        Best regards.✨

          Hi there! All what you see is homemade. The vibrant colour come out from quality of pistachio and of course from technique when you toast them. It’s all about the temperature, time and technique.

              A pistachio lover’s dream, and executed with precision—Cédric Grolet himself would be impressed! 💚 The balance of textures here must have been a challenge; I’m curious, how did you ensure the praline didn’t overpower the other layers? Did you make any adjustments to enhance the pistachio’s natural flavor?

              Congrats on joining the #EclairChallenge! 🙌 What type of challenge would you love for us to set next? Something classic with a twist, or maybe an entirely new frontier? 😊

                Hi there. I don’t have make any adjustment to enhance or something like that to balance the flavour because :

                1. I have follow the original recipe

                2. as rule in the French pastry the standard to make praliné it is 60% which in this recipe was the case and

                3. I had the opportunity to eat it in Paris at Le Maurice and the taste was the same.

                Love
