Assembly and finishing

Symphony

Prepare the cream mix, namelaka and pressed shortcrust. Make rounds of pressed shortcrust (approximately 30g each) using a 6.5cm diameter ring. Store in the refrigerator. Make a spiral of cream mix on top of the pressed shortcrust rounds (approximately 20g) using a piping bag with a 6mm diameter plain round nozzle. Store in the freezer. Add some namelaka droplets (approximately 25g) to the spiral of cream mix using a piping bag with a plain round 6mm-diameter nozzle. Freeze. Add a layer of neutral glaze. Sprinkle on some Opalys crunchy pearls and put a curved 7cm-diameter disk of Yuzu Inspiration
in place.
