As the water flowed, the laser stayed "trapped" inside the stream, only vanishing when the flow stopped entirely. ππ¬ Such a stunning blend of light and physics! π facts fun fact science technology
food recipe COATING 350 g chocolate (milk and white chocolate) COATING 100 g Maria biscuits 100 g walnuts 100 g unsalted pistachios 20 g honey 397 g condensed milk (1 can) GARNISH pistachios Grind the Maria biscuits in a food processor. Grind the pistachios in a food processor. Grind the walnuts in a food processor. Combine the ground Maria biscuits, walnuts, pistachios, honey, and condensed milk in a large bowl. Mix well. Melt the chocolate of your choice (milk or white) using a double boiler (au bain-marie). Pour a thin layer of melted chocolate into a silicone mold. Add a layer of the biscuit mixture and pour another layer of melted chocolate over it. Garnish with finely chopped pistachios and allow the chocolate to fully harden. TIPS Melt the chocolate slowly to avoid burning. Stir regularly and make sure no steam or water drops get into the chocolate, as it can affect the texture. When pouring the melted chocolate into the mold, gently tap the mold on your work surface. This helps remove air bubbles and ensures a smooth finish. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator. This can help prevent the chocolate from becoming dull. You can use your favorite nuts. Preparation Time Prep time: approximately 20 minutes (including grinding ingredients and mixing the filling). Hardening time: at least 2 to 4 hours for the chocolate to set properly (1-2 hours in the fridge).
