Place a praliné crunch disc on top of the mousse and set aside in the refrigerator. Make the Manjari 64% chocolate mousse, pour about 20g and top with a second praliné crunch disc. Set aside in the refrigerator. Make the Intense Manjari 70% chocolate mousse, pour about 20g and top with a third praliné crunch disc. Set aside in the blast freezer. Get the soft chocolate glaze ready and glaze the chocolate mousses tubes. Immediately place the glazed cakes on a chocolate tea-cake disc of 5cm in diameter, (slightly wider than the tubes itself).
