Prick with a fork, line with parchment paper, and fill with baking beans. Blind bake for 20 minutes. Take out and remove the beans and the paper. Brush with egg yolk and put back in the oven for 5-7 more minutes until golden. Take out and cool completely.
Make chocolate layer 10 minutes before assambling the cake. In a kettle, warm cream, and when it starts to show smoke, take ff the heat, add chocolates and leave for a minute. Then, mix until it is smooth. Add butter and mix in.

Put the praline cream in a piping bag and spread it in your favourite pattern over the chocolate. Place in the fridge to infuse for at least 12 hours. Take out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
