Ingredients
White chocolate and cheese mousse:
50 gr. white chocolate
250 gr. sweet cream 38%
5 gr. gelatin dissolved in 25 ml. water
250 gr. cream cheese or 9% cheese
50 gr. (½ packet) powdered sugar
½ tsp. vanilla extract or ¼ tsp. vanilla paste
Coating:
1 jar (400 gr.) lotus cream or chocolate ganache
Directions
To prepare the mousse, heat 25 ml. of the sweet cream with the white chocolate. Mix well.
In
a separate bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the water by heating a few
seconds at a time in the microwave. Add the gelatin to the mousse and
mix well. Add the cream cheese and mix again.
Using
an electric mixer, whip the sweet cream with the powdered sugar and
then fold in the vanilla.
Fill a semi sphere silicone baking tray with
mousse and put in the freezer for two hours.
Push out the half balls and stick them together to form a full ball.
Put a latex glove on and smooth the seam where the two halves touch so that the halves do not fall apart.
Put back in the freezer for a few more minutes.
To prepare the coating, melt the lotus cream for 20 seconds in the microwave (or over a bain-marie).
Alternatively,
prepare chocolate ganache. Stick a toothpick in each ball and then dip
them in the lotus cream or the chocolate ganache.
Place the balls on
baking paper and put them back in the freezer for a few more minutes.
Store in the fridge until serving.
If
you don’t have a semi sphere silicone baking tray, you can freeze
mousse in a square tray and then cut into small cubes after it freezes.
Then, dip cubes into lotus or chocolate cream.
If you’d rather not use gelatin, use three tablespoons of instant pudding instead.
Tipascale
To prepare chocolate ganache, you’ll need 2 packages (200 gr.) of bittersweet chocolate and 200 gr. of sweet whipping cream.
Add the chocolate and cream to a glass bowl and heat in the microwave for a few seconds at a time. Stir until smooth.
