Heat the liquid to 800c to activate the gelling agents, once reached you have to use straight away.
FOR THE CHOCOLATE SOIL

TO FINISH
Join the two demi spheres with a hot palette knife to give you a binding, insert a cocktail stick plunge into nitrogen then dip into the hot blackberry gel this process allows the gel to form a shell around the cream with out the cream melting into the gel mix.
