Stir all the ingredients using a paddle attachment in a food processor or directly by hand until you have a rough crumble mix.
Spread the mix evenly over a 30 × 40cm tray then freeze for around 30 minutes.
Take the streusel out of the freezer and arrange it in a greased 16cm diameter tart ring.
Bake at 160°C in a fan oven for 20 minutes, then gently turn out.

Assembly and finishing

At the bottom of the 14cm-diameter ring, place your domes of still-frozen apricot confit, with the rounded
side facing upwards.
Cover the apricot confit domes using CARAMELIA 36% chocolate crémeux. Fill to the brim and freeze.
Once the disc is frozen, turn it out and coat it with a thin layer of a neutral glaze to add shine to its
appearance. Then, place the disc on the peanut streusel.
