  • 120g grams liquid whole cream (30% fat) (for the sweet whipped cream)
  • 60g grams mascarpone (for the sweet whipped cream)

Equipment

  • 12cm round mold
  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag with 12mm round tip
  • Wire rack
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk and spatula
  • Sieve for sifting flour
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a saucepan, whisk together egg yolk and milk until smooth, then add liquid cream and soluble coffee, heating to 82-85°C (180-185°F).
  2. Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave and mix it into the cream mixture along with the mascarpone. Pour into a 12cm circle mold and freeze to set.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Beat egg whites and soluble coffee until foamy, gradually adding sugar to form a firm meringue. Fold in egg yolks and sifted flour, then pipe onto a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
  4. For the Bavarian cream, hydrate gelatin in cold water. Heat milk, 25g cream, and soluble coffee to a simmer. Whisk egg yolk and sugar, then temper with the hot milk, cook until thick, add gelatin, and cool. Whip remaining cream and fold into cooled custard.
  5. Assemble dessert by lining a mold with baking paper, placing biscuits against the sides, layering with Bavarian mousse and coffee insert, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  6. Before serving, whip cream and mascarpone until stiff peaks form, top the dessert, and decorate with cocoa powder or coffee beans.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Use chilled bowls and utensils when whipping cream for better volume. Letting the dessert set for at least 8 hours allows for the best flavor melding. For an even richer flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to the coffee insert. Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days; it can be frozen for up to 1 month, thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to serve.
