NÓTES

*I haven’t fóund a góód pistachió extract. The ónes I’ve tried taste like almónd extract. Yóu’re welcóme tó try the óne linked in the ingredients ór simply use pure almónd extract.
The pistachió creme móusseline yields enóugh fór 24 chócólate pistachió dómes. I cóuldn’t reduce the pastry cream móre than I did withóut the risk óf burning it during the cóóking prócess. Ónce the móusseline has been frózen intó mólds yóu can transfer the leftóvers tó a zip-tóp freezer bag and freeze them fór up tó 1 mónth. Use them the next time yóu make this recipe.
There will alsó be leftóver almónd pistachió nóugatine. Use it tó garnish the dómes ór save it and sprinkle it óver vanilla ice cream. Stóre it in a zip-tóp freezer bag in the freezer fór up tó 2 mónths.
