Milk Chocolate Chantilly
Warm up the heavy cream liquid and make a ganache with Maracaibo Criolait 38%. Let it set in the fridge for 8 hours at least. Whip up to soft peak and place Milk Chocolate Chantilly inside a piping bag.
Thin Crudo Chocolate Plates
Temper the Centenario Crudo 70% and use a paint roller to place a thin layer of couverture on top of a plastic sheet. Cut in rectangles of 120 x 30 mm / 4.7 x 1.2 inches and 120 x 10 mm/ 4.7 x 0.8 inch.
Orange Caramel Sauce & Orange Segments
Mix Caramel Brûlée with orange juice and Vanilla Beans. Use the sauce as it is. Segment the oranges and place them on the plate.

Add the thinner piece of Crudo Chocolate Plates and a Gold Leave on top as a decoration. Sprinkle some Orange Caramel Sauce and place some Orange Segments on the plate. Serve.
