Milk Chocolate Coffee Mousse In A Cocoa Nib Florentina Cup Recipe

Milk Chocolate Coffee Mousse in a Cocoa Nib Florentina Cup

From ragnarokx23 16 years ago

This dessert gives a smooth texture from the mousse and a crunch from the florentina cup.

For the mousse. whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and set aside
Whip the egg yolks to ribbon stage
Heat the honey until it starts to boil and quickly whip it into the egg yolks until the egg mixture is fluffy and no longer warm
Stir in the coffee liqueur.
Melt the both of the chocolate in a double boiler until melted.
Incorporate the warm chocolate into the egg yolk mixture.
Fold the heavy cream into the egg yolk mixture.
For the florentina cups. Boil the butter, sugar, honey, and heavy cream until it has reached a temperature of 240. Do not over stir this mixture, it will crystalize if you do.
Once it has hit a temperature of 240. Crush the sliced almonds in your hand and add it into the mixture.
Also add in you ground almonds or hazelnuts, cocoa nib, and bread flour and mix together.
Use a tablespoon to scoop the florentina batter on to a silpat and mash it flat to get a circle. Bake at 375F until brown.
When removing the florentina cups off the silpat let it rest until it is ready to be pliable and will not fall apart. Use a metal spatula to get the florentina off and mold over a ladle or bowl. If the florentina has fully set you can return it to the oven to let it melt down again and mold.
After you have shaped the cups take the mousse and pipe it into the cups. And you can make whip cream to top off the chocolate coffee mousse.
