Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup unblanched whole almonds, coarsely chopped
2 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 eggs, separated
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted and ground
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • To make the creme anglaise, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the almonds on a baking sheet and toast until nicely browned, stirring twice, about 10 minutes; watch carefully to prevent burning. Place in a saucepan with the milk and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 15 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale yellow. Bring the milk mixture back to a simmer. Whisking constantly, add the milk to the yolk mixture. Return sauce to pan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; do not let it simmer. Strain through a fine sieve. Stir in the vanilla. Refrigerate until cold.
  • To make the cake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch springform pan. Place chocolate, brown sugar and butter in a metal bowl over a pan of barely simmering water until melted. Mix well. Stir in egg yolks and vanilla, then almonds, flour and salt.
  • Whip egg whites until firm but not dry. Stir 1/3 of the whites into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining whites. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out only slightly wet, about 30 minutes. Cool.
  • To serve, spoon sauce onto each plate and top with a slice of cake.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE WITH CRÈME ANGLAISE



CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE WITH CRÈME ANGLAISE image

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Chocolate mousse
7 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1/3 cup Strega, kirsch, or rum
1/4 cup heavy cream
5 eggs, separated
6 tablespoons sugar, divided
Break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top half of a double boiler set over simmering water. Add the espresso powder and Strega and let stand uncovered until the chocolate is softened. Stir until blended. Transfer the chocolate to a large bowl to cool.
In a large, chilled bowl, whip the cream on high speed for 4 minutes, or until soft peaks form. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of the sugar until pale, about 3 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat the whites (make sure your beaters are clean) on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the remaining 4 tablespoons of the sugar and increase the speed to high. Whip until soft peaks form.
Add the egg mixture to the melted chocolate and stir to combine. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, then gently fold in the whites.

Steps:

  • Cake assembly Chocolate mousse 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup Strega, kirsch, or rum 20 to 25 ladyfingers, cut in half 1. Combine the sugar and ¾ cup water in a small pot and bring to a simmer. 2. Mix together the simple syrup (you should have ¾ cup) and the Strega. Dip half of each ladyfinger in the syrup until slightly softened. 3. In a 2-quart glass serving bowl, alternate layers of 1/3 of the mousse followed by 1/3 of the ladyfingers, finishing with the mousse. Cover and chill at least 8 hours or up to 2 days. Crème anglaise 2 cups milk 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 5 egg yolks Chocolate curls or shavings, if desired 1. Bring the milk, vanilla bean scrapings and pod, and 1/2 cup of the sugar to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the vanilla bean. 2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until thickened slightly and well combined. Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks and whisk until well incorporated. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, stirring constantly. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened slightly and the mixture lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, dip a spatula in the sauce and run your finger through it. If your finger makes a trail rather than causes all of the custard to run off, the sauce is ready. 3. Remove the sauce from the heat and strain into a clean bowl. Place the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. 4. To serve, sprinkle the cake with chocolate curls or shavings, if desired, and allow your guests to scoop the cake into serving bowls at the table. Pass the crème anglaise separately.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

Chocolate Genoise for Chocolate Mousse Cake
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Chocolate Ganache for Chocolate Mousse Cake
Edible roses and rose petals
Cinnamon Creme Anglaise

Steps:

  • Line a 10-by-4 1/2-by-3-inch loaf pan with plastic; let excess hang over sides of pan. Line pan with chocolate genoise: Cut one 9-by-4-inch rectangle to fit bottom and two 9-by-3-inch rectangles to fit sides of loaf. Cut four 2 1/4-by-4 1/2-inch pieces; use two to fit each end of the loaf; set other two aside. Cut another 10 1/2-by-5-inch rectangle to fit top; set aside.
  • Place chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl or the top of a double boiler set over a pan of barely simmering water; heat until melted. Set aside.
  • Combine yolks and sugar in a medium bowl; whisk until pale yellow. Add flour and cornstarch; whisk to combine. Place milk in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Gradually pour milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to pan; set over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, just until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; immediately pass through a fine sieve into melted chocolate. Use a rubber spatula to combine; set aside to cool. When almost cool, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, and fold into the chocolate mixture.
  • Spoon chocolate mousse into the prepared loaf, and top with the reserved genoise. Wrap the excess plastic over the loaf, and place in the freezer overnight.
  • Unmold cake onto a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour ganache over cake, coating completely. Allow ganache to set for about 10 minutes. Scrape excess ganache from baking sheet back into the bowl. Pour a second coating of ganache over cake. If ganache gets too thick, it can be rewarmed slightly over simmering water. Transfer cake to a serving platter; refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. Garnish with edible roses and rose petals just before serving. Thinly slice with a serrated knife. Serve with creme anglaise.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the taste of your mousse cake. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a rich, complex flavor.
  • Make sure your cream is cold: Cold cream will whip up better and produce a lighter, fluffier mousse. If you don't have time to chill your cream in the refrigerator, you can place it in a bowl over an ice bath for a few minutes.
  • Don't over-whip the cream: Over-whipped cream will become grainy and lose its light, fluffy texture. Whip the cream until it holds soft peaks, then stop.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently: Be careful not to over-mix, or you'll deflate the mousse. Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until it is just combined.
  • Chill the mousse cake before serving: This will help it to set and develop its full flavor. Chill the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion:

This chocolate mousse cake with crème anglaise is a decadent and delicious dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. The rich, creamy mousse is perfectly complemented by the light and fluffy crème anglaise. With its elegant presentation and sophisticated flavor, this cake is sure to impress your guests.
