Assembly and finishing
Make the whipped ganache, crémeux, ice cream, marmalade and shortcrust pastry. Roll out the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of 2mm, then cut out rings with an outer diameter of 16cm and an inner diameter of 10cm. Cut in half to form ̋C ̋ shapes. For the chocolate decorations: Spread the tempered dark chocolate between two sheets of confectionery dipping paper. Make rings the same way as for the shortcrust pastry, then pierce at the ends (see photo).
Stick the baked shortcrust pastry on the plate using a dot of crémeux. Form alternating droplets of crémeux (approx. 30g) and whipped ganache (approx.30g). Put the chocolate decoration in place. Add more droplets of whipped ganache (approx. 15g) and crémeux(approx. 15g), then add dots of marmalade.
Arrange the candied zest threads and mandarin supremes. Decorate with a logo. Finish with a quenelle of ice cream.
