Place the ingredients in a planetary mixer. 

Whip and beat until you obtain a thick consistency.

Saffron gel

Soak the saffron in lukewarm water for 30 minutes. 

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. 

Pour into a suitable container and allow to set in the refrigerator.

Once set, blend until smooth to obtain a gel.

Transfer to a piping bag.

Assembly

Using a small knife, make a hole in the bottom of the choux pastry and fill it with the whipped Mousse au Chocolat.

Using a piping bag and a star nozzle, pipe a small dollop onto the surface and add the saffron and mandarin gel.
