How to make Chocolate Cherry Mirror Glaze Mousse Cake
cherry coolie
The preparation of the jelly layer begins with the fact that we wash the fresh cherries and remove the seeds, and the frozen ones are constantly placed in a saucepan for defrosting. During this time, she will highlight the juice, which will serve as the basis for the syrup. Pour sugar and send the saucepan to the fire. Boil it for two / three minutes. In the meantime, soak the gelatin.
Remove the cherries from the heat, pierce with a blender until porridge is obtained and rub through a sieve, getting rid of the remaining pieces of the peel. Boil the cherry puree again for about 30 seconds and remove from the stove. Let the cherry puree cool down a little, add gelatin, dissolve it. We set the form on the board and pour cherry coolies into it. I am preparing hemispheres. Remove the cherry jelly from the freezer.
Dark chocolate mousse
Soak a leaf of gelatin. Beat the yolks and vanilla with sugar in a saucepan, pour in the milk and transfer to the fire. Without ceasing to rotate with a whisk, we brew the whole mass to the state of sour cream. Remove from heat and immediately add chocolate chips to the hot mass. Once the chocolate has melted, add the gelatin and stir until it is completely melted.
While the chocolate mass is cooling, start whipping the cold cream to soft peaks. Then we wait for the temperature of the chocolate mass and the whipped cream to almost equal and combine them, stirring with a silicone spatula.
How to assemble a mousse cake in a mold
First, set the form on the board and fill it with chocolate mousse exactly half. In each cell we put a piece of cherry coolie.
Again, fill the form with mousse and put the cake. Do not forget that it needs to be drowned in mousse a little. We put the form in the freezer so that the dessert freezes into stone.
We remove the frozen chocolate-cherry mousse cake from the mold, place it on a wire rack or on a glass, as in my case. Fill the cake with yellow and lilac mirror glaze. We leave for a while so that the excess glaze can drain.
Carefully wipe off the rest of the colored glaze that hangs from the cake with a hot and wet spatula, then transfer the cake to the substrate. We put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours until completely defrosted.
And here it is, a delicious and tender piece of delicious chocolate mousse cake with cherry jelly inside.
