Chef's Tips :

Cyril Lignac affirms that the use of starch brings lightness to the tasting.

Whip the raspberry mascarpone cream gently enough to obtain a gradual expansion. The cream should be creamy but not too firm.

For the preparation of the almond cream, the ingredients must just be mixed but not emulsified so that the cream does not swell during cooking and does not overflow from the pie.
