Method

Chocolate Cake

  1. 1

    Bake the Cake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures, then stir in boiling water. Divide batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Jivara Milk Chocolate Mousse

    Prepare the Milk Chocolate Mousse

    Melt the Jivara chocolate in a double boiler. Soak gelatin in water for 5 minutes, then heat until dissolved. Whip heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in melted chocolate and gelatin until smooth. Refrigerate until set.

Dark Chocolate Mousse

  1. 3

    Prepare the Dark Chocolate Mousse

    Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler. Soak gelatin in water for 5 minutes, then heat until dissolved. Whip heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in melted chocolate and gelatin until smooth. Refrigerate until set.

Chocolate Glaze

  1. 4

    Make the Chocolate Glaze

    Heat the heavy cream until steaming, then pour it over the dark chocolate. Let sit for a couple of minutes, then stir until smooth. Allow to cool slightly before using.

Fior di Latte Gelato

  1. 5

    Prepare the Fior di Latte Gelato

    In a saucepan, heat milk, cream, and sugar until dissolved. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl, then slowly temper with the warm mixture. Return to the heat, stirring until thickened. Cool, then churn in an ice cream maker. Freeze until firm.

White Chocolate Chantilly

  1. 6

    Make the White Chocolate Chantilly

    Melt the white chocolate and let it cool slightly. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then fold in the melted white chocolate gently. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
