Squeeze the lemon juice into the rice then cover with clingfilm and leave to cool. Fold in the cream and chill.

To prepare the chocolate discs place a large flat tray oiled and covered tightly in clingfilm in the fridge. Melt 200g of the chocolate in a bain-marie then remove from the heat and stir in the remaining chocolate drops. Quickly spread the chocolate thinly and evenly over the tray and put in the fridge. When set cut out 24 circles using a 3in cutter and return to the fridge.

For each portion fill three 3in cutters with mousse. Put a cylinder of mousse in the centre of a plate cover with a chocolate disc another layer of rice a disc and a final layer of rice and chocolate. Decorate the top with fresh mango and a sprig of mint.
