Chocolate Mont Blanc
- 2 bars Milk chocolate
- 500 grams Marron cream (canned and sweetened)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 1 cocoa sponge cake
- 1 bar White chocolate
- Bake the sponge cake as directed in.
- Once it has completely cooled, use a cup to cut out circles.
- The leftover edges can be used for trifles, etc.
- Or you could shape the sponge cake mixture into cupcake moulds before cooking.
- For the mont blanc cream, first cream the butter warmed to room temperature and mix in the chestnut cream a little at a time.
- Then, add the heavy cream and mix again.
- Once everything is mixed, pour into a piping bag fitted with a mont blanc tip and chill.
- Now for the chocolate decorations.
- We're going to temper chocolate (refer to Hints).
- Cut baking paper so it is 1-1.5 cm taller than your sponge cake and is exactly the right length to completely wrap around once.
- Lay these out on a baking tray.
- Brush the tempered chocolate onto the cut baking paper.
- For the remaining chocolate, put it in a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
- Once cooled, wrap the chocolate around the sponges.
- Once completely chilled and set, carefully remove the baking paper.
- Pipe the leftover chocolate on a baking sheet into suitably large heart shapes.
- Do the same with tempered white chocolate and leave to cool.
- Pipe the mont blanc cream onto the sponge cake and top with the hearts to finish.
