Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups roasted hazelnuts
- 1 cup roasted almonds
- 1 (200g) 70% chocolate bar (50% works too), melted and cooled down
Mousse
- 6 whole eggs, separated
- 1 yolk
- 1 (200g) 70% chocolate bar (50% works too), melted and cooled down
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Crust
- Using a powerful food processor, blend your almonds and hazelnuts (for around 5min) until having a smooth preparation. It should look similar to a thick nut butter (not as oily)
- Add the cooled melted chocolate and blend for another 2 min.
- Spread on parchment paper in a round shape the size of your mold and freeze for 2 hours.
Mousse
- While the crust is setting in the freezer, beat at high speed the egg whites with a pinch of salt.
- Your whites should be foamy and stiffed. It usually takes me around 5 minutes to have the perfect consistency.
- Mix the egg yolks with the tempered chocolate. Add the mixture to the stiffed egg whites.
- Mix slowly with a spatula or use your mixer on low speed.
Assemble
- When fully combined, pour the mousse in the shapped silicon mold (the cake will be layered upside down. If you are using a springform mold, inverse the following steps by plaing the crust first and by covering it by the mouse after.)
- Let set in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the parchment paper and press slightly onto the mousse. Try to make this side as flat as possible.
- Freeze for 3 hours.
- Let the cake thaw in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
- The crust can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month and the mousse for up to 2 days because of the raw eggs.
