Then for the garnish you will make a pretty frangipane cream! For that nothing could be simpler, you just need to mix 350g of pastry cream and 100g of almond cream // once the cream carried out lower v Our laminate to about 2 mm and you detail 2 pretty circles using a sharp knife or even a cutter! On the first disc of dough place your frangipane, put a small bean or a small piece and cover with the second disc!
