Ingredients
Coconut Mousse:
-
2 gelatin sheets (4g)
-
200ml heavy cream
-
80g mascarpone
-
80g powdered sugar
-
120ml coconut milk
Cocoa Breton Shortbread:
-
120g powdered sugar
-
140g softened butter
-
160g all-purpose flour
-
25g unsweetened cocoa powder
-
A pinch of sea salt (essential detail ;))
-
1/2 sachet baking powder
-
3 egg yolks
Also:
-
Grated coconut
-
Gooey Cocoa Spread
Instructions
- The day before or at least 6 hours in advance, start by making the coconut mousse: Whip the heavy cream with mascarpone in a very cold bowl, adding the powdered sugar gradually.
- Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest.
- Soak the gelatin sheets in a large bowl of cold water.
- Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan, and when it’s warm, remove from heat and add the squeezed gelatin. Let it cool a bit, then gently fold it into the previously made whipped cream using a spatula.
- Pour the mousse into hemisphere molds, adding a teaspoon of spread halfway, cover it, then smooth it with a spatula. Place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
- Make the Breton shortbreads: Mix all the ingredients until you get a dough. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about an inch in height. Cut out circles, then bake for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.
- Use rings to maintain a round shape (grease and flour them, or use tartlet molds). Let them cool completely.
- Remove the domes from the molds and place them on the cocoa shortbreads. Let them thaw for 2 hours at room temperature, then sprinkle grated coconut over the entire dome.
Notes
Tip: If you want the spread to be gooey, enjoy it at room temperature.
