Step cooking
Cooking sponge base
- We combine in a container 55 g of dark chocolate with 20 ml of milk and 15 g of butter.
- All ingredients must be melted in a water bath or in the microwave. You can melt the mixture on the stove over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Separate the egg whites (2 pcs.) From the yolks. Add a pinch of salt to the proteins and beat with a mixer until lush, thick foam.
- We increase the speed of the mixer and, continuing to beat, add 45 g of sugar with a spoon. Beating with sugar takes 5-7 minutes.
- In a bowl to the yolks, add 45 g of sugar and beat for 5 minutes until splendid.
- Add a third of the protein foam to the yolk mass and mix well with a spatula.
- Wheat flour (55 g) is mixed in a separate bowl with 10 g of starch and 3 g of baking powder. Sift everything into a container for yolks and squirrels.
- Knead the dough with a spoon. Part of the dough is added to the cooled chocolate mixture. Stir, return everything back to the bowl and knead the ingredients until smooth.
- At the end, mix the remaining whipped proteins.
- Cover the bottom of the round baking dish with parchment and pour the dough into it. We scroll several times to make the dough more even.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25 minutes.
- Turn the form onto the wire rack, cool.
- Then with a sharp knife we cut off the top crust.
- The biscuit is transferred to a large flat dish. We put on top of the ring and the acetate film.
- Lubricate the biscuit by dipping a silicone brush in the impregnation (30 ml of tea, coffee or cocoa).
Dark Chocolate Mousse
- 17 g of gelatin pour 1.5 tbsp. l warm milk, leave to swell. 2 yolks connect with 2/3 Art. l sugar, grind with a whisk.
- Bring milk (90 ml) to a boil. Pour milk into a yolk mixture with a trickle, mix, again pour everything into a saucepan and return to the stove.
- At a low temperature, cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring all the time with a whisk. Remove everything from the stove, add the swollen gelatin and 90 g of dark chocolate, broken into pieces. Knead until smooth, leave to cool.
- Beat with a mixer 180 g of cream until they begin to keep their shape.
- In a warm custard base, interfere with whipped cream. We do this in several steps.
- We transfer the finished mousse to a biscuit and level it. Put in the refrigerator for 40-60 minutes.
- When the dark mousse begins to harden, we make the next layer according to the same principle.
Milk and White Chocolate Mousse
- The second and third layers of mousse are made in the same way as the first dark chocolate layer. 5 g of gelatin is mixed with 1.5 tbsp. l milk.
- Raw yolks (2 pcs.) Rub with 2/3 Art. l Sahara.
- We heat 90 ml of milk and boil it with a yolk-sugar mixture for 3-5 minutes.
- Then in the hot mixture we put the swollen gelatin and milk (in the last top layer - white) chocolate. Combine the warm base with cream (180 g), apply with a spatula to the cake.
- You can immediately whip the total amount of cream for each layer (540 g), and then measure 180 g with a scale. Keep whipped cream in the refrigerator so that they do not settle.
Cooking Frosting
- When the topmost layer of white chocolate begins to harden, make a soft glaze. Gelatin (2 g) pour 1 tbsp. l water, leave to swell.
- Pour cream (100 g) into a saucepan, bring to a boil. Add gelatin, 80 g of milk and 20 g of white chocolate. Knead until smooth.
- We filter the glaze through a metal sieve, cool to room temperature and pour on the cake.
- We remove the entire structure in the refrigerator for the night. In the morning, remove the split ring. First we preheat the acetate tape slightly with a hairdryer, and then carefully separate it from the sides of the cake.
- The Three Chocolates dessert is best divided into servings with a heated knife.
