Description
Emulsification of pecan oil and cream to create a smooth and creamy dessert sauce.
Technical
This technique involves heating the cream to 80°C and then slowly pouring in the pecan oil while whisking, creating a stable emulsion through the formation of a complex network of casein and oil droplets. The key variables are the ratio of oil to cream and the whisking speed.
