Chef’s tip
Philippe Givre

These sauces are made in the same way as a ganache.

It is important to emulsify it this way so that it does not run on the plate it is decorating and keeps its glossy finish, rather than turning into a dull “skin”. To make it lighter and, most importantly, avoid any separation, the sauce should be reheated to 70-75°F (20-25°C).

It should have an elastic consistency so that your decorations lose none of their stability during table service.
