5. Pour the mixture over the melted chocolate to create an emulsion.
6. Refrigerate for 12 hours.

Instructions for Whipped Toffee:

1. Mix the gelatin and water well, then refrigerate for 20 minutes.
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and set aside.
3. In another pot, add the demerara sugar and make an “amber” caramel.
4. As soon as the caramel forms, gradually add the heavy cream (the mixture will be a bit liquid).
5. At a temperature of 60°C (140°F), add the gelatin mixture to create an emulsion.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
7. Before use, whip in a mixer until the desired texture is achieved.

3. Gradually add the heavy cream until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
4. Simmer on low heat for about a minute.
5. Transfer to a heatproof container and let cool at room temperature.

Assembly of the Donuts:

1. Using a whisk, aerate the blonde cream and pipe it into the donuts.
2. Melt 500g of white chocolate coating from Carmit to 40°C (104°F), allow it to cool slightly, and dip the top of the donut into the coating.
3. Use a microplane grater to create fine shavings of blonde chocolate and sprinkle them over the donut coating.
4. Whip the toffee and pipe it on top of the donut using a plain piping tip. With a wet spatula, create a stripe pattern and drizzle caramel on top.
