Preparation: Chocolate mousse :

  • Put the gelatin to soften in cold water.


Prepare a custard:

  • Bring the 90 g of milk and cream to a boil.

  • Lightly beat the yolks then gradually pour in the boiling milk, stirring constantly.

  • Transfer everything to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon.

  • Off the heat, add the softened and drained gelatin.



  • At the same time, melt the chocolate in a double boiler and then incorporate it into the rest of the preparation.

  • Reserve.



Prepare an Italian meringue:


  • In a saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil. When the syrup reaches 121 ° C, immediately incorporate it into the egg whites previously beaten while beating at full speed and continue beating until the meringue has cooled.



  • Gently fold the Italian meringue into the custard, then the 150 g of very cold crème fraîche, whipped into whipped cream.



  • Pour the preparation into lightly oiled silicone molds and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours.


The praline crumble puck:

  • Preheat the oven to 150 ° C.

  • Mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, ground hazelnuts and flour until you obtain a sandy crumble dough.

  • Crumble it on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, break the large pieces with a fork and let cool.



Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add the praline paste to it . Mix.

  • Incorporate the crumbled cold crumble as well as the crumbs of lace pancakes.




  • Pack this preparation at the bottom of individual pastry circles to a thickness of about 1 cm and keep in the fridge for at least 1 hour then remove the rings.

Mirror glaze:

  • Put the gelatin to soften in cold water.

  • Heat the cream over low heat.

  • At the same time, in a saucepan, heat the water and the sugar. When the temperature reaches 103 ° C, turn off the heat and add the cocoa powder, mixing well.

  • Then add the hot cream and then the drained gelatin. Mix and set aside.



  • When the temperature of the icing has reached 30 ° C, cover the domes with the mousse coming out of the freezer and placed on a wire rack.



  • Allow the excess to drain and place each dome on a puck.

  • Reserve in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

  • Sprinkle the praline grains all around before serving (they will stick to the icing on their own).

This dessert is even better the next day.
