For this step you'll need:
- 80ml Water

Brush the inside of each tart with the melted cocoa butter. Then fill each tart with the apple filling right to the top. Remove the frozen chibouste discs from their moulds and dust generously with icing sugar. Using a chef’s blow torch, lightly caramelise the top of the frozen chibousts. Place on top of the apple filling. Place each mini apple on top of each tart before serving.
For this step you'll need:
- 25g Cocoa butter melted
- 4 Apple(s) tinned mini cherry apples
