The mousse part for sure. Garnishing options have no limit! Fruit! Chocolate Curls, the works.

Praline Recipe looks great!
Any simple replacement for the Praline?
If not, any other way to get without buying it?

Prailine paste is a distinct taste and unique product. I wonder what to substitute..

I had same question about parline! I found a kosher (OK) hazelnut praline paste on nuts.com. Would that work? I also am in the dark about the size of the mold for the biscuit base and the loose frame that is placed around the base. Is she using plain or vanilla-flavored soy milk, do you think?
