For the presentation of this dessert, it can be served in a tall, stemmed glass to showcase the beautiful layers. The mousse can be piped into the glass for an elegant and precise look, while the coulis can be drizzled on top in a decorative pattern. The hazelnut praline can be sprinkled around the rim or layered in between the mousse and the coulis, adding a visually appealing and delightful crunch with every bite.

Tips
For those looking to make ingredient substitutions in a recipe, it's important to know which ingredients can be swapped without sacrificing the overall flavor and texture of the dish. For example, if a recipe calls for buttermilk but you don't have any on hand, you can easily make a substitution by mixing one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar with one cup of milk and letting it sit for a few minutes. Another common substitution is using Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise or sour cream, as it provides a similar creamy texture with added health benefits. Additionally, if a recipe calls for a specific type of nut but you're allergic or simply don't have it, you can easily swap in a different type of nut or even use seeds like sunflower or pumpkin as a substitute.
