Chocolate Ganache for Marcel Desaulniers' "Chocolate Demise"

Another lovely recipe for you to try last weekend from Chef Martial during Eurostar’s 15th Birthday in Paris.

Ingredients

Biscuit

Chocolate (66%): 200 grs

Butter: 150 grs

Sugar: 135 grs

Maizena: 10 grs

6 eggs (middle size)

Wheat flour: 80 grs

Powdered chocolate: 1 soup spoon

Ganache

Fresh liquid cream: 230 grs

Chocolate: 150 grs

Butter: 70 grs

Butter for molds

Sliced almonds

Ganache

Boil the liquid cream, pour on the chopped chocolate while stirring. Add diced cold butter. Spread over a plate (2cm thickness) and leave in the freezer. Shape disks of 2 cm diameter and keep in the freezer.

Biscuit

Melt chocolate slowly in a boiling water bath. Add the butter, stir well. Whip whole eggs and sugar together until it becomes like a firm mousse (the mixture will make a kind of ribbon). Add warm chocolate, and powders (maizena, flour and chocolate) and stir delicately.

Butter each mold and sprinkle with almonds. Keep them in the fridge while whisking up each cake. Fill each mold up to the three quarters, add in each one a disk of frozen “ganache” and keep in the fridge 15 minutes”. Cook in the oven at 210° during 8 minutes. Then turn each cake out and serve immediately.
