Mini Hazelnut and Walnut Praline Piononos with Pastry Cream

Mini Hazelnut and Walnut Praline Piononos with Pastry Cream
Steps
- 1
To make the praline, cook the sugar and water in a skillet to make caramel.
- 2
Once the caramel turns golden, add the hazelnuts and walnuts. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
- 3
Transfer the mixture to parchment paper and let it cool completely.
- 4
Place the cooled mixture in a food processor.
- 5
Process patiently until it forms a paste. Set aside.
- 6
To make the sponge cake sheet, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a silicone baking mat or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 7
Beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture doubles in volume (you can add a little vanilla extract if you like).
- 8
Gently fold in the sifted flour by hand in batches, using a spatula and folding motions.
- 9
Spread the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until it starts to turn golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- 10
Place a sheet of parchment paper or a clean kitchen towel generously sprinkled with sugar on the counter. Invert the baked cake onto it. Be careful not to burn yourself.
- 11
Remove the baking sheet.
- 12
Roll up the cake from the wider side, using the towel, to make it thinner and longer. Let it cool completely while rolled up.
- 13
For 8 servings, you’ll only need half the cake sheet. Cut it in half and save the rest for another dessert.
- 14
Warm the praline paste slightly to make it easier to spread, then spread it over the cake sheet, leaving a border.
- 15
Spread a thin layer of pastry cream on top.
- 16
Roll up the cake again, pressing gently to compact it, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- 17
When ready to serve, cut the roll into pieces as wide as you like.
- 18
Fill a piping bag with pastry cream and cover the tops of the pieces.
- 19
Sprinkle with sugar and caramelize the tops with a kitchen torch. Top with toasted sliced almonds and serve.
