-
Chocolate mellow biscuit
Mix eggs, honey (or inverted sugar) and caster sugar. Gradually add almond powder, flour, cocoa powder and yeast. Add liquid cream. Ultimately, add the melted butter and chocolate. Pour in a mould and bake during 20 minutes at 160°C in a ventiled oven. Shape 4 cm diameter disks. Line in a 5 x 4,5 cm rhodoïd circle mould a chocolate biscuit disk.
-
Chocolate milk mousse
Melt the chocolate and whisk with the hot milk to emulsify. Whisk the cream until foamy and add it to the chocolate/milk mix when it is up to 45/55°C. Immediately pour onto the circle mould previously filled with the biscuit disk. Freeze in a blast chiller then unmould.

Rocher coating
Melt the chocolate at 50°C. Add the neutral oil and whisk until it’s homogenized. Add the chopped almond and coat onto the chocolate mousse/biscuit pucks.
