Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n

The Trianon traditionally consists of a dacquoise base, a crunchy praline feuilletine layer, and a chocolate mousse, dusted with cocoa powder on top.<\/p>\n

The chocolate mousse can be made in three different ways: with a simple chocolate whipped cream, a mousse based on custard, or a mousse made with a p\u00e2te \u00e0 bombe, which is more technical but very light.<\/p>\n

The lemon cr\u00e9meux is optional, but it’s an interesting twist to reinvent the Royal, just like adding a second dacquoise if you prefer more texture.<\/p>\n

Instead of cocoa powder on top, it can also be fully covered with a chocolate or cocoa-based mirror glaze.<\/p>\n

For the decoration, I made a chocolate nest<\/strong><\/a>, but you can customize it to your liking, for example, with a chocolate collar.<\/p>\n
