Finishing and presentation

Apply some gold dust to the surface of the folded tuiles. Use a round cutter to cut circles out of a slab of choux pastry with the same thickness as the opening of the tuiles. Cover the sides of the dough circles with a thin layer of raspberry confit, followed by a layer of chocolate crémeux. Freeze and cut the dough circles lengthwise when they’re still half-frozen. Place these slices inside the tuiles. Use nozzles to mould small chocolate cones, cover them with gold dust and stick them onto the choux dough.
