PAVE OF BITTER CHOCOLATE WITH BURNT ORANGE AND Ristretto COFFEE
Preparation (10 persons)
- FOR THE BASE Combine all of the ingredients for the base in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined
- Tip the mix out onto a sheet of parchment paper, lay a second sheet over the top and use a rolling pin to roll the mix to a thickness of 2mm - and in the shape of the mould/tart ring you are using
- Lift the top sheet off and press the mould into the mix
- Trim away any excess mix from around the exposed edge
- Set aside in the fridge
- FOR THE JELLY To make the jelly place 100g caster sugar into a heavy-based pan, place it over a high heat and take it to a dark golden caramel
- Add the orange juice, remove from the heat, add the orange zest, remaining caster sugar and set aside
- Soak the gelatin in cold water until softened and dissolve it in the hot coffee
- Add to the orange mix and set the bowl over some iced water
- At the point where the liquid is just starting to thicken, pour it onto the praline mix in the mould and leave it to set in the fridge
- FOR THE ANGLAISE Make the anglaise by boiling the milk and cream and pouring it onto the egg yolks which have been whisked together with the sugar
- Return the mix to a gentle heat and cook to 84ºC or until the custard has thickened - stirring constantly
- Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature
- FOR THE MOUSSE To make the mousse, melt the chocolate in a bowl set over simmering water
- Add the anglaise and stir to combine
- Remove from the heat and set over a bowl of iced water and stir until cooled to room temperature
- Whisk the cream until peaks form
- Gently fold this into the chocolate mix until homogenous, poor it into the mould and if need be level the mousse with a palette knife
- Chill in the fridge until set fully for 2-3 hours
- FOR THE GLAZE To make the glaze put the sugar, cream and cocoa into a small pan, bring it to the boil, simmer for one minute
- Soak the gelatin in cold water until soft, add to the cream, add the double espresso of Nespresso Ristretto and whisk thoroughly
- Once cool, pour the glaze over the surface of the mousse and leave to set in the fridge
- FOR THE MILK PUREE For the milk puree bring the agar agar, milk and sugar to the boil and simmer for one minute
- Pour into a bowl and chill until set
- Transfer to a blender and blend to a smooth puree
- TO SERVE Once the glaze has set, run a hot knife around the mould, lift off the ring/mould and portion as required - using a clean hot knife each time
- Serve the chocolate pave with a spoon of milk puree and a freshly made Nespresso Ristretto espresso Grand Cru notes: Ristretto is a blend of South American and East African Arabicas, with a touch of Robusta, roasted separately to create the subtle fruity note of this full-bodied, intense espresso.
