  • Water (small amount for boiling, about 50 ml)

Chocolate Mousse

  • 500 ml cold whipping cream
  • Dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa solids, approximately 150 grams)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Syrup

  • Sugar (approx. 50 grams)
  • 10 grams cocoa powder
  • Water (approx. 50 ml)

Chocolate Ganache

  • Dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa solids, approximately 150 grams)
  • Cold whipping cream (approx. 150 ml)

Instructions

  1. Create the Chocolate Biscuit Layers: Preheat your oven to 175°C and prepare two baking trays lined with greased parchment paper. Beat the eggs, sugar, salt, and 1 tsp vanilla extract on high speed until fluffy and voluminous, about 5 to 6 minutes. Gently fold in the flour and 70 grams cocoa powder to preserve the airy texture. Divide the batter evenly between trays, smooth the tops, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until springy to touch. Once cooled, cut each baked biscuit into three uniform 20 x 20 cm squares for layering.
  2. Prepare the Raspberry Jelly Layer: Soften the gelatin by soaking it in 15 ml water. Heat raspberry puree, sugar, and a small amount of water until boiling, then stir in the gelatin until fully dissolved. Pour the mixture into a lined 20 x 20 cm mold and smooth the surface. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until fully solid, keeping it frozen until assembly.
  3. Whip Up the Silky Chocolate Mousse: Whip 500 ml of cold whipping cream to stable peaks. Gently melt the dark chocolate. Temper the melted chocolate by mixing a couple of tablespoons of the whipped cream into it, then carefully fold this chocolate mixture into the larger portion of whipped cream to create a light, airy mousse.
  4. Make the Chocolate Syrup for Layer Moistening: Simmer sugar, 10 grams cocoa powder, and water over medium heat until the mixture bubbles and syrup slightly thickens. This syrup is used to moisten the biscuit layers without making them soggy.
  5. Assemble the Chocolate Raspberry Entremet: Place one chocolate biscuit square at the bottom of a cake pan, brush with chocolate syrup to moisten. Spread half of the chocolate mousse evenly over it. Add the second biscuit layer, brush again with syrup. Gently place the frozen raspberry jelly layer on top, then spread the remaining mousse. Finish with the last biscuit layer, pressing gently and brushing it with syrup.
  6. Finish with Chocolate Ganache: Chop the dark chocolate and melt it with cream until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache over the top biscuit layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an elegant shine. Freeze the completed entremet for at least 4 to 5 hours or overnight to set perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa solids for best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the raspberry jelly is fully frozen before assembly to prevent melting and maintain structure.
  • Be gentle when folding chocolate into whipped cream to keep the mousse light and airy.
  • Brush biscuit layers evenly with syrup to maintain moisture without sogginess.
  • Freeze the whole assembled entremet thoroughly before slicing for neat, clean cuts.
  • Optional gold dust and gold leaf add a luxurious finish, perfect for special occasions.
