Assembly

Spoon 55% chocolate egg custard over a cocoa and cherry biscuit base, top with croquant pearls and freeze. Assemble the cake in the reverse order: half fill a silicone mould with vanilla & kirsch mousse, place the frozen biscuit on top and blast chill. Remove from the mould, spray with cocoa butter and white chocolate, draw your logo and decorate with a cherry and gold leaf.
