As needed BAHIBE 46%

Cut out disks of 4, 5 and 6cm.
Spread some tempered BAHIBE chocolate between two guitar sheets.
Cut out disks of 4, 5 and 6cm.
Cut the base of each circle to give it a flat edge.
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes.
Apply some crémeux droplets onto the shortcrust pastry disks, then put a chocolate disk on top.
Arrange the different components on a plate, alternating between the crémeux and differently sized chocolate and shortcrust  pastry disks.
Make sure you always add a droplet of chocolate namelaka so that your assembly holds together well.
Finish off your dessert with some droplets of gel, satsuma segments and a quenelle of sorbet.
