Pour over the melted white chocolate, mix and set aside. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Pour over the warm mixture and stir gently.

Assembly

First, make a chocolate shell. Melt 100g of milk chocolate in the microwave and pour into the 6 cavities. Tilt the mould in all directions so that the chocolate is evenly distributed, then turn the mould upside down to remove the excess. Place in a cool place until the chocolate has set.

Fill the Silikomart mould with a spoonful of vanilla mousse, add the hazelnut biscuit, add mousse halfway up the sides. Add the insert. Top up with more mousse. Place in the freezer overnight.

The next day, remove the frozen desserts from the moulds, wipe off the frosting on the chocolate shells with a paper towel and immediately apply the brown velvet spray.

Place chocolate shavings on top and chill for at least 4 hours.

Before serving insert lily of the valley leaves. I melted some white chocolate with a little green dye. I cut some rhodoïd in the shape of a leaf and poured the chocolate over it. Spread it out and let it set in the fridge. To make the bells, I used the silikomart mini pearl mould upside down and covered each cavity with white chocolate. Leave to set in the fridge. I used melted chocolate to stick the bells together.

✔Cinnamon powder
✔Water
✔sugar
✔NH pectin

In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and NH pectin. Cut apples into very small cubes. Place in a saucepan with powdered cinnamon and water. Cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add sugar and pectin mixture and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour over the biscuit and place in the freezer.

Vanilla mousse (the day before)
✔liquid cream
✔white chocolate
✔Vanilla powder or vanilla pod
✔gelatine
✔cold liquid cream 30% MG

In a bowl of cold water, place the gelatine leaves. In a small saucepan, heat the 90g of liquid cream with the scraped and split vanilla pod. Turn off the heat, cover the pan and leave the vanilla to infuse for 15 minutes. Return the mixture to the heat and then, off the heat, add the gelatine (having first removed the vanilla pod) and the melted white chocolate. Mix and set aside. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Pour in the previous mixture and stir gently. Pour over the apples and place in the freezer overnight.

The next day, take the cake out of the freezer and immediately apply the velvet spray in the colour of your choice, green, yellow or red to remind you of the colour of the apple. Leave the cake whole or cut into individual pieces. Put back in the fridge to defrost. Count on 4 to 5 hours.

I made small chocolate tails and decorated them with a small mint leaf.

Homemade hazelnut praline (The day before)
100g hazelnuts
50g powdered sugar

Vanilla mousse (The day before)
50g of liquid cream
50g white chocolate
Vanilla pod or vanilla powder
100g of cold liquid cream (30% fat)
3g gelatine

In a bowl of cold water, soften the gelatine leaves. In a saucepan, heat the cream and vanilla. Remove from the heat and add the wrung-out and softened gelatine and the melted white chocolate. Mix well. Set aside. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Gently add the cooled mixture. Pour into your silikomart ring Klassik tart mould. Place in the freezer.

Sweet dough
✔70 g soft butter
✔130 g flour
✔45 g icing sugar
✔1 pinch of salt
✔1 egg yolk

Mix all the ingredients together. Roll out the dough thinly between 2 sheets of baking paper then put in the fridge 30 mins. Line the circles and prick the pastry with a fork. Bake the tartlets at 160°/170°C for about 10 minutes.

Hazelnut cream
✔25g of butter
✔25g icing sugar
✔25g hazelnut powder
✔25g of eggs

Mix the butter with the icing sugar. Add the hazelnut powder and the eggs. Mix well. Pour into the bottom of the tartlets, 25g per tartlet, then bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Leave to cool. Cut out the middle of the tartlets with a pastry bag and place a spoonful of hazelnut praline in each hollow. Set aside.

Hazelnut cream
✔1g gelatine
✔50 ml cream
✔1 egg yolk
✔10g caster sugar
✔30g hazelnut praline

In a bowl, mix the egg yolk with the sugar until slightly white. In a saucepan, bring 50ml of cream to the boil, remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the previous mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook over a low heat until 82ºC. Remove from the heat and add the wrung-out gelatine. Pour the hot cream over the hazelnut praline and mix. Allow to cool slightly and then pour over the tarts. Place in a cool place.

Hazelnut praline mirror glaze

✔45g sugar
✔45g glucose
✔25g water
✔40g white chocolate
✔20g hazelnut praline
✔2 sheets of gelatine (4g)
✔30g unsweetened condensed milk

Place the gelatine sheets in a bowl of cold water. In a saucepan, heat the sugar, water and glucose to 110°C. Remove from the heat and add the wrung-out and softened gelatine. Pour this mixture over the melted chocolate. Stir well. Add the praline and condensed milk. Use a hand blender to mix the mixture evenly. When the temperature is close to 35°C, proceed with the icing of the frozen domes. Place the dome on the tartlet.

I decorated it with a swirl made of dark chocolate using the Silikomart mini swirl mould. I placed roasted and caramelised hazelnut chips in a pan all around.
