Assembly

To assemble, place the chocolate biscuit inside a stainless steel baking ring on a plate lined with baking paper. Next, pour a 1cm-thick layer of vanilla mousse on top. Place in the freezer for 1 hour. Then pour a 1cm-thick layer of mango jelly on top of the vanilla mousse. Leave to set in the freezer for 1 hour. Prepare the milk chocolate mousse, and pour it in until it reaches the top of the stainless steel baking ring. Place in the freezer for 2 hours. Remove the baking ring, then cut a triangle of the desired size and place it on a cake rack. Coat the triangle in a dark chocolate glazing, decorate with dark chocolate decorations and chocolate balls sprayed yellow.
