Istruzioni

1
Baskets: Mix the sifted flour with the sugar and egg whites. Gradually add the melted butter and the vanilla. Refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes. Spread the dough on parchment paper, forming circles of the desired diameter. Bake in the oven at 220°C for 7-8 minutes. As soon as the edges are golden, remove one wafer at a time, gently peel it off, and shape it over an inverted cup. Let cool until the baskets are rigid.

Custard: Pour the milk into a saucepan with the vanilla seeds and pod. Bring to a boil. In another saucepan, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the hot milk into the egg mixture and cook over low heat. Stir continuously until the custard thickens. Let cool.

Note

To make this culinary experience even more memorable, pair the dish with a glass of aromatic white wine like Sauvignon Blanc. The freshness and acidity of the wine will perfectly balance the creaminess of the walnut cream and the intensity of the truffle.
