Nestlé Dessert® chocolate mousse Swiss roll

Ingredients

8 servings

• 2 bars of NESTLÉ DESSERT Dark chocolate
• 150 g of sugar
• 150 g of flour
• 40 g of butter
• 12 eggs
• 25 cl of liquid cream
• 1 tablespoon of praline

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Separate the whites from the yolks of 6 eggs. Whisk the yolks and sugar together until the mixture turns pale. Add the flour and mix until smooth.

2. 2

   Beat the egg whites until stiff and melt the butter in a saucepan. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Add the melted butter and gently mix again until smooth.

3. 3

   Pour the batter onto a rectangular baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the sponge from the oven and invert the sheet onto a clean, damp cloth. Carefully peel the sponge off the sheet, then roll the sponge up in the cloth and let it cool completely at room temperature.

4. 4

   Separate the whites from the yolks of the remaining eggs and beat the whites into stiff peaks with a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Melt the first bar of chocolate in a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate over the yolks, whisking vigorously until completely smooth. Fold in the egg whites in 3 batches, gently, and chill the mixture for 1 hour.

6. 6

   Heat the cream in a saucepan. When the cream is hot, pour it over the remaining chocolate, broken into pieces. Stir until the mixture is smooth and keep chilled while preparing to assemble the log.

7. 7

   Unroll the sponge and spread it with the chocolate mousse. Roll the sponge back up, tightening it properly to form a cylindrical log. Trim the two ends of the log for a neat finish.

8. 8

   When the ganache has a creamy texture, spread it over the entire log in a thick layer. Sprinkle with a little praline, and keep the log in the fridge until serving.
