Place the mousse in the fridge for 1 hour.
-
Roll out the chocolate shortbread dough in 4 parchment paper-lined tartlet molds. Prick the pastry base with a fork and cover with chickpeas or porcelain marbles to weigh down the pastry. Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes at Th. 6 (180° C).

Turn the tartlets out onto a wire rack to cool the pastry bases. Coarsely crush the nougatine and sprinkle over the tartlet bases before covering with the chocolate mousse.
