- 110 g Eggs
- 20 g Whole milk

Assembly and finishing
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cut the baked brioche in half. Soak both halves in the Yuzu Syrup.
Whisk* the whipped ganache with the vanilla IVOIRE 35% chocolate until it has a soft texture that is easy to pipe. Using a piping bag with a fluted nozzle, garnish the bottom with generous swirls. Thinly cut the end of a piping bag without a nozzle and add YUZU INSPIRATION crémeux between the swirls. Cover with the other half of the brioche then sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve and enjoy!
*Whisking a whipped ganache with an electric whisk at a regular, medium speed adds more air to the mixture and gives it a texture that is easy to pipe
