Tiramisu Entremet
There’s a few things I totally loved
about these cakes – the first one is the delicate coffee aroma. Even if you’re
not a coffee drinker, you’ll still enjoy this cake – the flavor is delicate and
mild and it only brings out the best of chocolate. Another thing I totally
loved and was quite impressed with was the praline powder which can easily
become a praline paste if you continue pulsing it in the food processor, adding
1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil while doing so. It’s so delicious! Both powder
and paste and be used in a variety of desserts so it’s a great thing to have
around. And last but not least, I loved making them – from the first idea to a
sketch then a dessert, everything was fun and so enjoyable. True passion, isn’t
it?!

Directions:
Genoise:
1.
Mix the eggs with sugar for a few minutes
until tripled in volume.
2.
Sift the flour with salt and cornstarch and
incorporate it in the whipped eggs using a spatula, adding one tablespoon of
flour at a time and mixing gently.
3.
Take a few spoonfuls of batter in a bowl and
stir in the butter. Transfer the mix back in the batter and mix gently.
4.
Pour the batter in a 40x30cm baking tray
lined with baking paper.
5.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 180C.
6.
When done, allow to cool then cut small
circles of genoise and place them in your mini-cake rings (line the cake rings
with acetate sheets prior to that). Place aside.
Coffee syrup:
1.
Mix the coffee and sugar in a bowl and cook
over medium flame for 5 minutes.
2.
Allow to cool then brush the genoise circles
with the coffee syrup. Place aside.
Mascarpone mousse:
1.
Bloom the gelatin with cold water for 10
minutes.
2.
Mix the mascarpone with vanilla then add the
melted gelatin and chocolate.
3.
Fold in the whipped cream then pour 2-3
tablespoons of mousse into each cake ring. Place in the fridge to set.
Coffee cremeux:
1.
Bloom the gelatin in cold water for 10
minutes.
2.
In a saucepan, mix the cream, coffee, egg
yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt and place over low heat.
3.
Cook for 5-10 minutes until it begins to
thicken.
4.
Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate.
Mix until melted then add the gelatin.
5.
Allow to cool to room temperature then pour
the cremeux over the mascarpone mousse and place back in the fridge.
Chocolate praline mousse:
1.
- Praline:
2.
Mix the sugar and water in a saucepan and
place over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes until it begins to caramelize,
washing down the sides of the pan with a brush dipped in cold water as it
cooks.
3.
When it has a golden, amber color, remove
from heat and add the hazelnuts. Mix to coat them well and transfer on a baking
tray lined with baking paper.
4.
Allow to cool and set then break and place
into a food processor.
5.
Pulse until you get a fine powder and place
aside.
6.
- Mousse:
7.
Bloom the gelatin in cold water for 10
minutes.
8.
Mix the sugar and water in a saucepan and
place over low heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sugar melts.
9.
In the meantime, start mixing the yolks
until they turn pale and thick. Gradually pour in the hot sugar syrup, mixing
all the time until double in volume.
10. Add the melted gelatin then the chocolate and mix well.
Allow the mixture to come to room temperature.
11. Fold in the whipped cream then add the praline powder.
12. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of mousse over the coffee cremeux and
place back in the fridge to set.
Coffee Glaze:
1.
Bloom the gelatin in cold water for 10
minutes.
2.
Mix the remaining ingredients in a saucepan
and place over low heat.
3.
Cook for 5-7 minutes from the moment it
begins to boil until it looks thickened and dark.
4.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10
minutes.
5.
Add the gelatin, mix well, then pass the
glaze through a fine sieve.
6.
Allow to cool completely before use.
7.
To glaze the cakes, place them in the
freezer at least one hour then remove the cake rings and acetate sheets. Place
the cakes on a wire rack over a pan to collect the glaze as it drips off the
cakes. Carefully pour the glaze over each cake and allow it to drip off as
needed.
8.
Transfer on cake boards or platters and
place back in the fridge.
Amaretto Truffles:
1.
Mix the heavy cream and salt in a bowl and
place over low heat. Bring to the heating point then remove from heat and add
the chocolate.
2.
Mix well until melted and smooth then add
the butter and Amaretto.
3.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the
fridge for a few hours.
4.
Take one teaspoon of mixture and shape it
into a bowl. Roll right away through cocoa powder.
Decor:
1.
To decorate the cakes, I melted some
chocolate, tempered it slightly and spread it on an acetate sheet which I then
wrapped around a small cake ring and placed in the fridge to set.
2.
Add a truffle and the décor is finished.
3. Enjoy!
