Instructions

Maple Syrup Caramel
1
Start by pouring the cream into a small saucepan.
2
Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds, and add them to the cream.
3
Heat the cream to 40°C (104°F) and hold it at this temperature.
4
Pour the maple syrup into a saucepan, add the glucose syrup, and bring to a boil.
5
Once it starts boiling, add the vanilla cream in 3 additions.
6
Then cook everything to 107°C (225°F).
7
Pour into a container and cover the surface with plastic wrap so the caramel doesn't dry out on top.
8
Pipe at room temperature - about 3 grams (0.11 oz).
Pecan Duja
1
Buy some phyllo dough or make your own.
2
Brush each sheet generously with butter.
3
Then bake in the oven at 170°C (338°F) for about 30 minutes.
4
Keep an eye on it so you don't burn the dough.
5
Let cool and blend to get crumbs.
6
Melt the milk chocolate, add the pecan butter, the crumbs, and a little sea salt.
7
Mix well and pre-crystallize (temper) the mixture.
8
Then fill the rest of the shells - about 4 grams (0.14 oz), let it crystallize, then seal the bonbons and enjoy!
