Assembly and finishing

Prepare the namelaka, ice cream mix, candied nibs and shortcrust pastry.
Roll the shortcrust pastry out to a thickness of 2mm. Use 10.5cm rings to cut out the tartlet bases. Use a 5.5cm ring to pierce their centers. Cut out 1cm strips. Line the tart cases to make ring shapes. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for approx. 15 minutes.
Make the ganache and pour out approx. 50g.

Grind the candied nibs to make a powder.
Make droplets of pre-set couverture on a sheet of confectionery dipping paper. Sprinkle them with ground nibs, then cover them with another sheet of confectionery dipping paper. Press the paper down, then immediately pull it off.
Use a comb-edged scraper to make twigs of chocolate on a piece of confectionery dipping paper.
Leave to set.

Place the twigs of chocolate on a plate.
Add some drops of namelaka (approx. 15g). Decorate the plate with the chocolate petals.
Bake the tartlet at 265°F (130°C) for approx. 6 minutes.
Put it at the center of the plate.
Make a scoop of ice cream, then roll it in the ground nibs.
Place this ice cream in the center of the tartlet on a dab of namelaka.
