Assembly and finishing
Make the tart bases and bake in a fan-assisted oven at 320°F (160°C) for 16 minutes. Once the tarts have cooled back down, place around 50g caramelized hazelnuts and 50g caramelized almonds at the bottom of the dish.
Pour 50g of NYANGBO 68% chocolate crémeux over the caramelized nuts then freeze overnight. Cover with a plastic wrap and store the remaining crémeux in the refrigerator to finish.
The following day, pipe an even layer of the crémeux over the tarts using a 20 Saint Honoré nozzle.
Decorate with a few caramelized nuts and chocolate pieces*. Store in the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
