• This is a mascarpone and caramel mousse cake with a lotus cookie base. It has a 54% chocolate ganache frosting on top. For the decoration I tempered chocolate and on frozen alcohol I made cholate threads that I later painted with gold dust.

      As the mascarpone mousse and caramel are very smooth, the chocolate flavor predominates.

      The base has lotus and butter.

      The mascarpone mousse contains this cheese together with cream, sugar and gelatine.

      For the caramel mousse I made a homemade toffee that I added to the semi-whipped cream and gelatin.

      The topping has chocolate and cream.

        What a gorgeous mousse cake! 😍 The Lotus base already makes it special, but pairing it with mascarpone and caramel was such a brilliant choice. I like how the smoothness of the mousses contrasts with the bold chocolate ganache, and that golden detail on top gives it just the right festive touch.

        ¡Hola Elena! 👋
        Una tarta equilibrada y bien ejecutada, con capas limpias y una ganache de 54 % que aporta contraste justo al dulzor del caramelo y el mascarpone. El detalle decorativo con hilos atemperados y polvo dorado suma elegancia sin recargar. ¿Qué método usaste para integrar el toffee sin cortar la mousse? 🍮🍫
        ¡Una propuesta de nivel, y con muy buen pulso!
