Consists of two chocolate creams, the main cream being a salted milk chocolate caramel, also a small amount of dark chocolate cream using Kumabo as this gives the pastry a good chocolate taste without being too over powering. A biscuit base, a slice of soaked chocolate sponge all accompanied by Tibetan Goji berry and Cardamom. Finished with a dark sauce and part sprayed with orange cocoa butter.
Created at the National Selection for the World chocolate Masters in UK, September 2006.
