Smooth out and freeze.FINISHINGFor the chocolate decoration, finely spread out the tempered KIDAVOA 50% couverture between two sheets of acetate paper. Before it hardens completely, cut out 120x40mm rectangles. Shape into a curve. Use a spray gun to apply a layer of Spray Mix onto the quenelles to give them a velvety finish.Turn out the little cakes then glaze with ABSOLU CRISTAL. Then place them on the Pressed Shortbread.
