6. Wrap the bottom of a 18cm mold with cling film.
7. Pour the cream and freeze overnight.
For the Cookies:
1. Cream the softened butter with the sugar. Add the egg and mix.
2. Add the flour, the salt, the baking powder and baking soda. Also add the chocolate. Mix to form a homogenous dough.
3. Take 60g and keep it aside.
4. Spread the rest in a 18cm mold.
5. Preheat the oven to 175°C/347°F and cook the cookie for 10-12min. The edges should be golden but the center still pale.
6. Spread the 60g from earlier into a thin rectangle.
7. Cook it for 5-10min. Watch carefully as it cooks quickly.
8. Cut disks of various sizes while it’s still hot (you can use pastry tips).
9. Keep at room-temperature.
For the Peanut Mousse:
1. Hydrate the gelatin in 6 times its weight in cold water (for powder gelatin). Let it sit for 10min.
2. Briefly whisk the sugar with the egg yolks.
3. Bring to boil the milk with the peanut butter.
4. Pour in 3 times over the eggs.
5. Bring everything back to the pan and cook to 84°C.
6. Add the gelatin off the heat.
7. Pour into a dish and cool it down to 25°C.
8. Whip the liquid cream until very soft peaks form.
9. Gently incorporate the peanut cream to the whipped cream using a spatula.
It’s time to assemble!
1. Wrap the bottom of a 20cm mold with cling film. Add a piece of rhodoïd sheet (or cut a plastic sheet).
2. Place the cookie disk at the bottom.
3. Pour half of the mousse.
4. Unmold the chocolate cremeux and put it over the mousse.
5. Cover with the remaining mousse.
6. Freeze overnight.
For the Glaze:
1. Hydrate the gelatin.
2. Melt the chocolate.
3. Heat the water and sugar until it reaches 103°C.
4. Add the cream and heat again to 103°C.
5. Pour in 3 times over the melted chocolate and mix.
6. Add the gelatin.
7. Wrap with cling film (it must touch the surface) and refrigerate overnight.
For the Roll Cake:
1. Follow the steps of this recipe: Coffee and Strawberry Swiss Roll Cake
2. You just have to add the cocoa powder to the flour (and remove the coffee).
3. Once the cake has cooled down, cut thin strips.
The decoration:
1. Melt the glaze in a bain-marie. Remove from the bath from time to time so it doesn’t overheat.
2. Cool it down around 20-22°C.
3. Unmold the entremet and place it over a support. Smooth the surface and edges.
4. Glaze by starting with the edges.
5. Decorate with the roll cake strips and the cookie disks.
Your Entremet is ready! Let it thaw in the fridge for 2-3h.
