The recipe

For 4 tarts

Peanut praline (the day before)
✔50g sugar
✔100g peanuts

Roast the peanuts on a baking tray for 15 minutes in the oven at 150°C. Make a caramel with the sugar and pour it onto baking paper. When it has cooled, break it into pieces and put it in the bowl of a blender. Add the peanuts and blend until you have a praline. Be careful, you need a good blender.

Peanut mousse (the day before)
✔1 yellow
✔10g sugar
✔40g milk
✔3g gelatine
✔50g praline peanuts
✔100g cold liquid cream

In a bowl of cold water, place the gelatine leaves. In a saucepan, heat the milk. In a bowl, mix the yolks and sugar. Pour the milk over and transfer to the saucepan. Heat while stirring and without exceeding 83°C. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine and the praline. Mix and set aside. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Pour in the previous mixture and stir gently. Pour into the mould. Place in the freezer overnight. You will have some mousse left after this step.
