Place the second biscuit on top and pour on the pineapple mousse and freeze. Place the third biscuit on top and pour in the coconut mousse to the top. Demould the crunchy speculoos praline and cover with the chocolate glaze at 28°C/82,4F. Place fresh grated coconut at the ends of the glazed crunchy speculoos praline. De-mould the teardrops and spray with the titanium cocoa butter, place on top of the crunchy praline. De-mould the compote and cut into 6 teardrops. You could spray these with hot neutral glaze to stop them from drying out. Place the teardrops in a flower shape and then garnish with fresh grated coconut in the centre.
