30g powdered sugar
70g almond powder
70g icing sugar
20g flour
In a bowl, mix the almond powder and icing sugar. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in the powdered sugar. Pour a little egg white into the previous mixture to loosen the mixture. Gently fold in the rest with a spatula. Sift in the flour and mix. Pour onto a baking tray covered with baking paper. Bake at 180°C for about ten minutes. Leave to cool and then cut out the biscuit.

60g praline
60g melted milk chocolate

In a large bowl of cold water, hydrate the gelatine. In a saucepan, heat the liquid cream with the vanilla. Pour the hot cream over the melted chocolate. Add the wrung-out gelatine. Mix well with a blender. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix the water, sugar and yolks with a mixer and triple the volume. Place this mixture in a bain-marie with the white chocolate ganache and heat to 70°C. Whip the cream with an electric mixer and gently fold it into the previous mixture.
