Hazelnut Trompe-l'œil Mold
Two-part clip-together system for a complete volume without a seam line
The Hazelnut trompe-l'œil mold from the Cédric Grolet collection for Pavoni reproduces the raised shape of a whole hazelnut. Its distinctive feature: a two-part system that clips together to create a complete 3D volume without a visible seam line, unlike a half-sphere mold, which leaves a mark.

Uses
- Hazelnut entremets: runny praline insert, crémeux, and light mousse
- Milk chocolate shell filled with praline or gianduja
- Individual frozen desserts in a complete hazelnut shape
Please note: Always unclip the two parts after fully freezing; this ensures a clean hazelnut shape without deformation. For the chocolate version, careful tempering ensures shine and clean unmolding.

Frequently asked questions
How does the two-part mold work?
Each part has 8 half-cavities. Fill the lower part, insert the frozen center, clip on the upper part, then freeze. Once set, separate the two parts to release the whole hazelnut.
How does it differ from a classic half-sphere mold?
A half-sphere mold produces two shells to assemble, with a visible joint. This mold directly forms the complete volume without a seam line.
Is it suitable for chocolatiers?
Yes. Pour in tempered milk chocolate to create a hazelnut shell to fill with praline or gianduja.
