Step cooking
Making biscuit
- To prepare a biscuit, add 30 grams of sugar to one chicken egg, beat with a mixer and send this bowl to a water bath. The water should boil a little, and the contents of the bowl must be constantly stirred with a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. As a result, the mixture should be hot.
- After removing the bowl from the water bath, the egg with sugar should be continued to beat until very lush, white mass, which holds its shape well.
- Sift to a beaten egg 20 g of flour and 10 g of cocoa powder through a sieve. Then gently mix everything with a silicone spatula so that the mass remains lush.
- Cover the bottom of the mold with parchment and spread the dough on it. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees, and check the readiness with a toothpick. The main thing is not to overexpose the biscuit so that it does not dry. After the cake has cooled completely, remove parchment paper and cut out an even circle of the required size. In our case, this is a diameter of 16-20 cm.
Making Mousse
- Tighten the bottom of the 20-centimeter ring (or rim of a detachable shape) with cling film so that the mousse does not leak out. The result should be a perfectly smooth smooth surface. Cover the inner walls of the sides with an acetate film.
- Pour 8 grams of gelatin in granules with cold water (48 ml) and mix. It is better to make three servings at once.
- Pour milk (80 ml) into a saucepan and send to the fire. It is necessary to bring it to a boil, but do not boil.
- Meanwhile, add 50 g of granulated sugar to one egg and whisk lightly with a whisk.
- Without stopping beating, pour hot milk into the egg mixture with a thin stream. Stir until smooth, the sugar should completely dissolve.
- Pour the resulting liquid back into the pan and turn on a small fire. This mixture must be boiled until lightly thickened. Cooking is necessary with constant stirring, while it is important to ensure that the eggs do not curl. When the consistency of the egg-milk base becomes thick, turn off the heat and add the swollen gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved. Melt white chocolate (80 grams) in a water bath or in a microwave for periods of 10-15 seconds, stirring it during pauses. Add chocolate to the custard base and achieve uniformity. Leave to cool completely. Pour cold cream in a volume of 200 ml into a deep bowl and whip with a mixer, first at low speeds, then at maximum speed until they are in good shape.
- Insert the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream bowl and mix gently with a silicone spatula.
- Pour white chocolate mousse into a mold pre-tightened with cling film. Knock on the surface several times so that the mass is distributed evenly and unwanted air comes out. Send the form to the freezer so that the mousse seizes.
- Using the same algorithm, prepare mousses based on milk and dark chocolate, alternately pouring them one on top of the other. Make sure that each previous layer is properly seized in the freezer.
- When you fill the last layer (of dark chocolate), it is necessary to lay the biscuit cake in the center and “drown” it in a still gelatinous mass. If you are going to decorate the cake with mirror glaze, then you need to put it in the freezer for 8 hours. If you plan to serve the sweets as they are, then put them in the refrigerator until the mousses are completely frozen.
After a few hours in the refrigerator, our delicious and delicate cake is ready to serve. It looks amazing, suitable for any celebration, and absolutely everyone will like its taste, since it is creamy and chocolate - an easy dessert for lovers of sweets. At the same time, there is not a lot of sugar in it, so the cake does not have unpleasant cloying. You can decorate it in absolutely any way: glaze, cream, figures from mastic, berries and fruits, etc.
