Melt Gianduja:
In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the gianduja chocolate over a pot of simmering water (bain-marie) until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whip Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold in the praline paste and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated, then carefully fold in the melted gianduja until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Craqueline
Layer the Dacquoise:
Take one dacquoise layer and spread a generous amount of the gianduja and praline filling on top. Place another dacquoise layer on top and repeat the process until all layers are assembled, finishing with a layer of filling on the top.
Chill:
Place the assembled craqueline in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set and firm up the filling.
✨ Presentation Tips:
Serving Style: Carefully slice the craqueline into elegant pieces and arrange them on a beautiful serving platter.
Garnish: Decorate with crushed hazelnuts, chocolate shavings, or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
Accompaniment: Pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
