Servings 12
Ingredients:
- 100 grams’ flour
- 150 grams’ sugar
- 50 grams’ cocoa
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large yolk
- dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
For the chocolate mousse:
- 150 grams’ dark chocolate
- 75 grams’ butter
- 150 grams’ sugar
- 3 large egg whites
For the chocolate custard:
- 500 ml heavy cream
- 2 gelatin leaves
- 50 grams’ sugar
- 100 ml milk
- 100 grams’ milk chocolate
For the white chocolate cream:
- 500 ml heavy cream
- 100 grams’ white chocolate
Instructions:
To make the mousse:
- In a saucepan, over a low heat, melt together the butter and the chocolate until smooth. Leave aside to cool.
- Next, in another bowl, beat the sugar and egg whites until you get a semi-stiff meringue.
- Add the two mixtures together and spread into 12 individual dishes or 1 trifle dish. Place it in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 23 cm baking pan.
- In a bowl, beat the yolk and eggs together with the sugar until fluffy. Add in the cocoa and flour.
- Spread into the baking pan – it should be big enough to cut out to the size of the individual dishes or the large trifle dish. Bake for 5-6 minutes, or just until golden; remove and allow to cool.
- Next, trim the sponge to fit the bowl and apply on top of the mousse.
To make the custard:
- In a bowl of cold water, put the gelatin and set aside. In a pan over a medium heat, heat the milk, sugar, and cream until almost at boiling point.
- Pour in the milk chocolate and then the gelatin. Next, pass through a sieve and spread over the sponge layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Right before serving, in a heatproof dish, over a low heat, melt the white chocolate together with the cream until soft peaks form. Apply to the trifle, top with dark chocolate shavings and serve.
Enjoy!
