Whipped ganache:

  • Gradually pour onto the chopped Valrhona Baking Dark Chocolate.
  • Add the 1 cup of cream. Store in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • Whip until you obtain a creamy texture that is stiff enough to be piped using the pastry bag.

Assembly and presentation: 
  • Using the pastry bag, pipe the ganache onto the moist biscuit bottom, decorate with any of your favorite red fruits and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
