Pour 50g of mousse into each mold, then freeze.Spread the pre-crystallized milk couverture chocolate between two sheets of confectionery dipping paper, then cut it into right-angled triangles. Leave to set at approx. 60°F (16°C).Use some Jivara spray icing to coat the little gateaux.Decorate them by unevenly arranging chocolate triangles, as shown in the photo.Tip: If they sink, you can smooth out the little gateaux with a bit of mousse.
