Assembly and finishing

valrhona.asia-recipe-triple-chocolate-log

Roll out the biscuit, leave it to cool down, then cut out a rectangle the size of your log tin. Make the white chocolate mousse, pour it into the log tin, which has been covered with baking paper, then put it in the freezer. Make the milk chocolate mousse and pour it over the white chocolate mousse; put the tin back into the freezer and make the dark chocolate mousse. Pour the dark chocolate mousse over the milk chocolate mousse, then place the biscuit on top.

Put the tin back in the freezer. Once the mousses are frozen, turn the log out of the tin unto the serving plate, decorate it, then put in the refrigerator to defreeze for at least 6 hours.
