Assembly and finishing
Make the banana caramel, leave to cool in the tray.
Make and frame the hazelnut-cocoa praliné between 1cm rules. Leave to set at 60°F (16°C) and a 60% relative humidity level. Cut into 1×1cm cubes. Blend some cocoa nibs.
Sprinkle some cocoa nibs into the bottom of the molds (Silikomart Quadro 01: 25×25×15mm). Spray the pre-crystallized Komuntu spray mix into tempered molds with a spray gun. Trim away any excess and leave to set. Mold some tempered Komuntu couverture into the bonbons. Trim any excess. Use a piping bag to pipe in approximately 2g of banana caramel. Make the soft Komuntu ganache.
At 85°F (30°C), pipe 2g of ganache onto the banana caramel. Then insert a praliné cube.
Pipe ganache to cover the praliné, taking care to leave about 1mm. Leave to set. Seal with some tempered Komuntu couverture and cover with a transfer sheet. Leave to set. Make and cook the cocoa nib nougatine.
Leave to cool then break into shards and stick them on with a little tempered Komuntu couverture in a cone.

The Komuntu couverture is a perfect match for the subtlety of the banana and the bonbon’s different textures make it really indulgent.
