Whip the mixture to obtain the correct texture for piping.

Assembly and finishing
Roll out the Rich Shortcrust Pastry to a thickness of 2.5 mm and leave to rest in the fridge before cutting out 16 cm diameter discs and baking them in rings for around 12 minutes at 160°C. Then use a piping bag with no nozzle to add 150 g of Almond Cream to the cooked pastry circles and bake at 180°C for 10-12 minutes. After chilling, make the Apple and Blackcurrant Compote and immediately add 150 g to each circle. Blast freeze. Unmold the tart bases from their rings. Lightly whip the Whipped Ivoire and Apple Ganache and then using a piping bag with a 9 mm nozzle, add 190 g of Whipped Ganache to each tart in a random pattern. Blast freeze. Use a spray gun to spray the tarts with hot Absolu Glaze. Arrange the sticks of apple and a house logo on top.
