Assembly

Measure out into glass containers with 30 g per unit of raspberry semi-preserve, and leave to stand rest at a temperature of 0/3 °C to allow the contents to set properly. This will prevent condensation from forming in the container.
Once set, measure out the chocolate Opal mousse at approx. 35 g per unit, and then insert a white chocolate Opal disk (4 cm) on the surface.
Leave to rest at a positive temperature of 0/3 °C.
Put approx. 10 g of crumble and ½ a raspberry on the top of the container.
Lastly cover the top of the glass container with tin foil, and apply a hot iron briefly to provide an optimum seal.
