    Unmold the heart shape, stick it on a long toothpick and pipe all around in an irregular manner with the creamy chocolate truffles, then put again in the freezer.
  • Once frozen, dip it in the liquid black chocolate spray at 35°C, then use the same preparation spray with low pressure on top of it to create the truffle skin texture.
  • Do not put it back in the freezer, fridge only.
    Dress up in a nice setting using a thyme branch and dispose the nougatine chips on top.
