Use a square 10cm mold to cut this out.Make the GUANAJA Crème Anglaise Mousse, then pour 150g into a 11.5cm mold. Put a GUANAJA Biscuit and GUANAJA Cream mix square in place, with the GUANAJA Caramel Cream mix at the bottom. Repeat until you have three layers of Biscuit, then complete the assembly by putting the square of GUANAJA Praliné Crunch in place. Freeze.
