Assembly and finishing

Pyra

100 g PASSION FRUIT INSPIRATION
100 g RASPBERRY INSPIRATION
120 g ÉQUATORIALE LACTÉE 35%

Mold some pre-set chocolate into 12mm tubes. Once it has set completely, cut it to your preferred length using a heated knife. Cut the upper part into a pencil shape.
Make the shortcrust pastry, pralinés and decorations.
Cut the shortcrust pastry into disks in 5 different sizes (8cm, 7cm, 6cm, 5cm and 4cm), then remove their middles using a 10mm nozzle.
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for approx. 20 minutes.
Whip the pralinés, then use a piping bag with an 8mm nozzle to apply a spiral to the shortcrust pastry disks. Cover each spiral with another disk.
Leave to set.
Make the differently sized couverture disks and a chocolate tube with a slightly smaller diameter than the holes in their center.
