Step cooking
- We start making the dessert by slicing 1.5 ripe bananas. They need to be cut into thin circles with a thickness of not more than 3-4 mm. We cover the detachable shape with a diameter of 16 cm with cling film and lay out a layer of bananas.
- We put the stewpan on the stove, turn on a small fire and melt 100 g of sugar. Periodically stir it with a spatula and make sure that it does not burn. Caramelize sugar is required until golden brown.
- Remove the melted sugar from the stove and add 20 g of butter. Mix well until the oil is completely dissolved.
- Preheat a little 80 ml of cream in the microwave and pour them hot, continuously mixing all the ingredients with a spatula.
- Add 1/4 tsp to the resulting mixture. salt and re-mix. Set the stewpan aside for 10 minutes, allowing the caramels to cool.
- The cooled caramel is poured into the mold on top of the banana layer. Use a spatula to level the surface. We remove the form in the freezer until the banana cake is completely frozen.
- In a deep bowl, put 4 yolks, 1 chicken egg, 130 g of sugar and mix them until smooth, using a whisk.
- We heat 200 ml of milk in a microwave or on fire and gradually pour it into the egg mixture. When adding hot milk, the ingredients must be stirred regularly. Stir everything until sugar is completely dissolved.
- The resulting mixture is poured into a saucepan and put on a minimum fire. Cook until thickened, constantly mixing everything with a whisk.
- Soak in advance 20 g of gelatin in 120 ml of cold water. After the egg mixture becomes quite thick, add gelatin to it, thoroughly mixing everything with a whisk.
- In a water bath or in a microwave oven, melt 180 g of dark chocolate, pour into the rest of the products and stir. The mass should become saturated brown.
- Filter the resulting mixture through a sieve and allow it to cool at room temperature.
- Pour 500 ml of cream of 35% fat into a large bowl and beat them thoroughly with a mixer. It should be elastic foam.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture with gelatin into whipped cream. Mix everything very carefully with a spoon.
- We cover the demountable baking dish with a diameter of 20 cm with cling film and pour half of the chocolate mousse into it.
- We spread the frozen banana cake with caramel on top. He should drown a little in chocolate mousse.
- On top of the banana cake, pour the remaining half of the chocolate mousse, evenly distributing it with a spatula.
- We proceed to the preparation of brownie cake. To do this, put 75 sugar in a separate deep bowl. Add 1/4 tsp. salt and 1 chicken egg. Whip with a mixer at maximum speed until a thick foam forms.
- In a water bath, melt 60 g of dark chocolate, which we pre-rub on a coarse grater, and a similar amount of butter. Let the resulting mass cool down for 5 minutes.
- Cut half a ripe banana into small pieces and add to melted chocolate with butter.
- Grind everything with a hand blender until smooth.
- The resulting chocolate mass is added to the egg mixture. Gently mix everything with a spoon or spatula.
- We mix 40 g of cocoa powder with 55 g of flour, after which the bulk ingredients are sieved through a sieve and added to the chocolate-banana mass.
- All mix with a spatula. It should be a fairly thick dough.
- We cover the detachable baking dish with a diameter of 20 cm with parchment paper and put the chocolate dough into it. Using a spatula, level the surface. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and set to bake chocolate cake for 15 minutes.
- After a quarter of an hour, the cake is ready, it turns out with a slightly moist center. Let it cool slightly and cut out a round cake with a diameter of 18 cm using a cooking ring. Spread the brownie cake on the chocolate mousse and squeeze it lightly so that they are on the same level. If necessary, trim the layer with a spatula. Put the cake in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
- In a small pan with non-stick coating, prepare the icing. To do this, mix 120 g of sugar with 100 ml of sugar syrup. The latter can be replaced with invert glucose syrup. We put on a small fire and cook until a golden hue appears.
- Remove the pan from the stove and gradually pour 150 ml of hot cream. When infusing, stir constantly.
- In a separate bowl, soak 8 g of gelatin in 48 ml of cold water. The added gelatin is added to the sugar mixture, which has already managed to cool slightly. Mix all the ingredients quickly so that no lumps appear.
- Melt in a water bath or microwave 40 g of white chocolate and add to the rest of the ingredients. Mix the resulting mixture well with a whisk until a homogeneous consistency.
- Pour the icing into the blender bowl, and optionally add 3 g of food golden dye.
- Well, beat everything at low speed. This must be done until air bubbles appear.
- Filter the finished glaze through a sieve and pour into a deep bowl. We cover it with cling film and put in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
- After 8 hours, warm up a little icing in a water bath. The water temperature should be about 42 degrees.
- Re-beat the icing with a mixer and filter through a sieve. Carefully remove the chocolate-banana mousse from the mold. We pour icing on top of the cake, evenly distributing it with a spatula or knife.
- After 5 minutes, when all the excess glaze drains, carefully transfer the chocolate-banana mousse to a beautiful dish. Garnish with almond flakes. A total of approximately 20 g of product will be required.
- We put the cake in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, so that the banana-caramel cake is well frozen.
- The dessert is ready. Chocolate-banana mousse turns out to be very tender and moderately sweet. It can be served with tea or coffee.
