Angel Hair...

Here is the technic of Cheveux d'Or (angel hair) used for decoration on that dessert. Here is the picture of the final product, a ball of angel hair topping a glass of red wine infused prunes, raspberries and sugared almond ice cream.

Procedure :

• Prepare the caramel until blond dark
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir until lukewarm and thickened
• Form strings by dipping a whisk in the caramel and shaking it in a to and fro movement above another whisk or two steels securely hold (as the Chef did on the following picture)
• Quickly form a ball with your hands with the strings (before the caramel becomes cold and brittle)
• Reheat the caramel whenever the caramel turns too cold and the strings become too thick
• Store the balls of angel hair on parchment paper.

Tip ! protect your working area with a cut garbage bag on the floor
