place a new disc of soaked finger biscuit on top. Freeze in the
freezer.
Regularly poach a 20 g puck of water ice and place a new disc of
soaked finger biscuit on top.
Place a puck of Amarena Cointreau® compote on top and freeze
completely.
Take individual sphere molds and place on sheet for assembly,
placing a whole hazelnut under each dome to create a slight
cavity imitating the random shape of a cherry.
Poach and coat in a very thin layer of water ice and freeze.
Unmold the cylindrical interior, poach the mascarpone vanilla
iced parfait, then place the insert precisely to accompany evenly
up to the level of the mold.
Completely freeze individual pieces, then unmould.
Place on stainless-steel grid and tray. Quickly and completely
glaze the Amarenas. Return to the freezer at -20°C.
Leave to drain for 24 hours.
Place on a food-safe base and decorate with the shaped chocolate
