Preparation:
Make the praliné crémeux and blueberry confit. Set aside.
Make the five-grain shortbread and spread to a thickness of 4mm into a 37 × 57cm frame.
Bake in a fan-assisted oven at 320°F (160°C) for around 30 minutes.
Prepare the sponge batter and pour 1300g onto the shortbread.
Bake at 355°F (180°C) for approx. 10 minutes.
When the sponge has fully cooled, cut out 3.5cm × 52cm strips lengthwise.
Use a piping bag with a 13mm nozzle to pipe two tubes of praliné crémeux (about 80g) along the top of the sponge strips on either side,
taking care to leave a gap between the two.
Then place approx. 120g blueberry confit between the two lines of praliné crémeux and freeze.

Assembly:
Make the yogurt mousse.
When you have finished mixing, add 500g blueberry confit to the mousse and mix briefly to create a marbled effect.
Place approximately 400g marbled mousse in each Slalom Insert Mold (ref. 12433).
Put the insert in place, shortbread side up, and freeze.

Decorations:
Spread some tempered Opalys couverture onto a CHOCOLATREE transfer sheet.
Before it fully sets, use a card cut to the shape of the Slalom Mold to make wave shapes. Leave to set.
Mold some baubles in the Mini Baubles mold (ref. 18824).
After assembling them, stick the mini baubles onto the waves.
Turn out then spray with Absolu Cristal glaze.
Finish with a customized logo or some CHOCOLATREE chocolate decorations.
