Preparation
-
Bring the water, milk, butter, salt and sugar to the boil in a pan.

Remove from the heat and add the flour.

Return the pan to the stove and stir constantly with the wooden spoon until the mixture forms a soft ball that comes away cleanly from the sides of the pan.
-
Cool and gradually stir in the whole egg.
-
Using a no. 18 nozzle, pipe 7-cm rings onto a baking sheet.
-
Sprinkle over the chopped hazelnuts.
-
Bake at 165°C for 35–40 minutes.
-
Scrape out the vanilla pods, place in a pan, add the cream and bring to the boil.
-
Add the soaked gelatine and the couverture chocolate.
-
Let it melt, then add the remaining cream and mix everything together.
-
Chill for at least 3 hours, then whip until it reaches the desired consistency.
-
If necessary, warm up the Ovo Crunchy Cream a little to make it softer, then stir in.
-
Spread the mousse using a piping bag with a plain nozzle.
