I bought a new Silikomart mold from Amazon in March and made a mousse log for hubby’s birthday. The base unit of this mold is of hard plastic and two silicon mat inserts, one smooth and one textured, are included. The 3D effect of the stars was absolutely stunning and I really loved it. Honestly … Continue reading Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Log 朱古力士多啤梨慕絲半圓長條形蛋糕
I don't have much to write about this cake as it is quite simple. But I do want to share with you a general technique for mousse cake construction that is tidy and neat. I use chiffon cake for my mousse cake. My cake layers are super light, soft and fluffy. To prevent them from … Continue reading Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake 紅桑子黑朱古力慕絲蛋糕
I received feedback from several readers not long ago. They said they all love how decadent my Chocolate Mousse Cake was. However, they had difficulties smoothing the cake surface as the mousse firmed up rather fast. My recipe contains no gelatin as the high ratio of chocolate is good enough to set the mousse. It … Continue reading Chocolate Mousse Cake with Chocolate Crust 朱古力慕絲凍餅
I usually use Mexican Ataulfo mangoes for my dessert but there is no guarantee that you will have access to fresh mango at peak ripeness every time. When this time hits, canned mango pulp comes in handy. I made a few mousse cakes with Kesar mango pulp in April and was very pleased with both … Continue reading Mango Matcha Mousse Cake with Mirror Glaze 芒果抹茶慕絲鏡面蛋糕
I created this cake for our family gathering during the weekend. Mirror glazed cakes have a stunning effect that can always impress your guests but, believe it or not, they are not hard to make at all! All you need is a frozen cake and a bowl of warm glaze (of course plus other simple … Continue reading Strawberry Mousse Cake with Mirror Glaze 士多啤梨慕絲鏡面蛋糕
We just had a family gathering on Sunday and I’ve made two cakes, one of which was this chocolate Charlotte. French Charlotte russe is a cold dessert. The mold is first lined with finger-shaped sponge cake or ladyfingers lightly soaked in syrup. It is then filled with mousse, Bavarian cream, and/or fresh fruits. After half … Continue reading Dark Chocolate Mousse Charlotte 朱古力慕絲夏洛特蛋糕
This was the birthday cake that I made for myself. The outside was wrapped with a thin layer of almond sponge cake. Inside of the cake were layers of coffee chiffon, dark chocolate mousse, coffee gelee, salted caramel mousse and chocolate glaze. We were rushing to a restaurant for dinner so I didn’t have enough … Continue reading Joconde Imprime with Salted Caramel, Coffee and Chocolate Entremet 法式甜品：海鹽焦糖咖啡朱古力慕絲蛋糕
I made this mousse cake for my friend’s dad last week. This green tea mousse is the only mousse cake that contains raw egg yolks. The yolks make the green tea mousse richer in taste. For the sake of health, I always heat the yolk mixture to the egg safe temperature. I have made another … Continue reading Green Tea and White Chocolate Mousse Cake with Red Bean Filling 綠茶白朱古力慕絲蛋糕(紅豆餡)
I made this for my Aunt-in-law for her birthday. The preparation of this cake was mostly identical to the joconde imprime entremets I’ve made before. This time I used a different kind of sponge cake to wrap around my dessert. So technically speaking, this was no longer a joconde imprime entremet anymore. The tang mian … Continue reading Chocolate Delight 朱古力五重奏
This three-layer cake was what I made for my family on Father’s Day last week. The bottom part was a fluffy chocolate chiffon cake layer, followed by a silky white chocolate mousse, then topped with a layer of creamy but not overly sweet blueberry cream cheese. I really love how purplish the top layer looked. The original … Continue reading Blueberry and White Chocolate Mousse Cake 藍莓白朱古力慕絲蛋糕
