Eggless Mango Chocolate Entremet

I need to caution you before I start with today’s recipe. This post is extremely long and it has nearly 95 snaps. So be patient while reading my experiment with this exotic dessert and I will not disappoint you. It took me two whole days to complete this and only on the third day I could get a taste of it. Do you remember the baking competition I participated online? If no here are my entries to the contest – Eggless Jigarthanda Cake and Healthy Cranberry Muffins. I was selected for the finals for my eggless cranberry muffins recipe. There were 12 participants and each of us had to make an entremet. So I made this entremet which is completely egg free and gelatin free and sent it for the finals. The results are not yet announced. Either I win or lose, I am really proud that I made this entremet. When I served a slice to my daughter, for every bite, she has so many oohhs and aahhs and I was extremely happy. My husband too loved it and He was so so proud that I tried such a complicated dish. I really felt as if I was doing it in Masterchef show. 

Entremet is a delicious dessert with various layers incorporating different textures and flavours. This is a eggless gelatin free entremet with an eggless chocolate brownie base, Chocolate Praline Feuilletine layer, white chocolate mousse layer, mango mousse layer, chocolate glaze and dark chocolate ganache. A chocolate collar is added for a more beautiful look. The brownie gives the soft texture while the feuilletine gives the crunch and the mousse gives the creamy texture. The collar adds some more crunch to the dessert. The mousse, glaze, brownie, praline paste and ganache can be made ahead but the feuilletine and the collar has to be made at the time of assembling. Usually feuillitine chips are added in the layer but as I don’t get those chips here I went for corn flakes as they are the best substitutes. Never take a single element while tasting. Try to take a bit of all the elements and you will know how tasty the whole combination is. If ever you are going to try this do read the recipe twice or thrice carefully and then try. You will be the star of the party. I am not very much happy with my slicing and photos but the entremet takes you to chocolate heaven.

Allow it to cool completely.

Remove the paper.

Break into pieces and transfer to a mixer jar.

Grind the praline. At forst it will be powdery but after some time, the nuts will let out oil and the mixture will become a paste. This is the praline paste.

In a bowl mix together dark chocolate, milk chocolate and butter.

Melt them on a double boiler or in MW.

Add in the praline paste and crushed corn flakes.

Mix together to form the feuilletine. This has to be mixed only at the time of assembling. The praline paste can be made ahead.

Assembling The Entremet:

Cut two strips of plastic sheets from a old file to fit the circumference of an 8” spring form pan.

Join both the stripes with the help of tape.

Place a spring form pan with out the base plate on a serving plate and place the plastic sheet tube inside.

Trim the brownie.

Place it in the centre of the pan.

Pour some white chocolate mousse on it and freeze for an hour.

Make the feuilletine and press it on the white chocolate ganache. There should be space between the tin and the layers. Freeze for half an hour.

Pour the remaining white chocolate mousse and tap the plate to level it.

Freeze it again until set.

Now add the mango mousse on it.

Level it with a spatula. Freeze until set.

Now pour the glaze on the mousse. If the glaze is thick, then slightly heat it until it is of pourable consistency. Do not over heat.

Spread it immediately with a spatula.

Remove the ring of the spring form pan.

Remove the tape.

Remove the plastic stripe.

Now the entremet is ready to be decorated.

Adding a Chocolate Collar:

Measure the circumference of the cake and cut a stripe of parchment paper to the size. I have used two stripes to make it easier. Fold the paper at the required height.

Melt dark chocolate and take it in a paper cone.

Draw lines on the sheet leaving the folded portion. That is used for holding the sheet while applying the collar on the cake. Allow it to dry completely.

Now melt 200 gm of milk chocolate and bring it to room temperature. If hot it will melt the previous dark chocolate layer.

Pour some on top of the dark chocolate lines.

Spread it evenly with a spatula.

Remove the sheet from counter opn to another place. I used a chopping board. Allow it to set.

The collar has to be flexible and half set to be used on the entremet.

Place the collar around the entremet and press well so that the chocolate sticks to the entremet. Do it fast otherwise the chocolate will be set and it will not stick to the entremet.

Trim the collar to the height you need.

Place the next collar arond the other half. Make sure the ends meet. Cut off remaining collar. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Peel the paper.

Place the chocolate ganache in a piping bag with a round tip and pipe some designs on top of the entremet.

Now it is ready. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Some points to be noted while slicing the entremet:

Always use a warm serrated knife. The feuilletine layer is the most tough layer to cut. And the chocolate collar can broken easily with a tap of knife or spoon. Dip the knife in hot water, wipe with a towel and cut.

Some points to be noted while slicing the entremet:
Always use a warm serrated knife. The feuilletine layer is the most tough layer to cut. And the chocolate collar can be sliced nicely with a warm knife. Dip the knife in hot water, wipe with a towel and cut.
