Assembly
- Remove the mould, trim the edges and cut into 15 rectangles of 6.5x2cm. Pour the liquid into a pastry bag fitted with a tip and pipe 10g of the creamy mixture onto each rectangle.
- Place in the freezer for 2 hours. Gently reassemble the Bavarian cream on the edges of the moulds, then place the insert in the centre.
