Ruby Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake

Ever since I’ve discovered ruby chocolate I’ve wanted to share with you a dessert that puts its’ color and flavor in value, so I am glad to share with you this amazing Ruby Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake.

The new Ruby Chocolate from Callebaut has a berry taste and a beautiful color which is not due to food colorings but to ruby cocoa beans. It is considered the 4th chocolate next to dark, milk and white. I absolutely love it and will definitely use it more and more.

Ruby Chocolate makes a great pair with strawberries with which I’ve associated it in this dessert. Ruby Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake is a delicate dessert, with an almond sponge cake at the bottom, followed by a ruby chocolate and almonds crunch and topped with a smooth strawberry mousse. Decorated with ruby chocolate decoration for an elegant look that makes it perfect for any occasion. Hope you’ll try it out, enjoy!

  • 1 ½ cup (360g) whipping cream (35% fat) , chilled

Ruby Chocolate Decoration

  • 2 oz (60g) ruby chocolate
  • (20g) ruby chocolate , for tempering

Instructions
 

  • Prepare almond cake. Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Grease a 8 inch (20cm) pan and line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl add eggs, sugar and salt. Mix to combine. Mix for about 10 minutes until thick and tripled in volume. Add almond extract and mix to combine.
  • Gradually fold in ground almonds, flour and in the end incorporate melted butter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven, let it cool in the pan over a cooling rack.
  • Prepare ruby chocolate almond crunch.
  • In a medium bowl combine cookie crumbs with chopped almonds. Melt ruby chocolate over bain-marie. Add cream, add to cookie mixture and stir to combine.
  • Cut the sponge into a 7 inch (18cm) disk using a cake ring. Place the ring around the sponge. Spread the crunch on top of the sponge and freeze until you prepare strawberry mousse.
  • Prepare strawberry mousse. First prepare strawberry sauce so it has time to cool before preparing the mousse. Place strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan and place over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and sieve to remove seeds. Set aside while you prepare the gelatin.
  • Dissolve gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the gelatine over the warm strawberry sauce and stir to dissolve. Let the strawberry mixture cool at room temperature.
  • In a large bowl whip cream until stiff peaks form. Add strawberry mixture and mix to combine.
  • Assemble the cake. Place the frozen sponge crunch into the center of a serving platter. Place a 8 inch (20cm) ring on top of it and line with acetate sheet for easier removal.
  • Pipe the mousse on sides and top. Smooth the top using an offset spatula.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare ruby chocolate decoration. Melt 2 oz (60g) ruby chocolate over bain-marie. Remove from heat and add 2 tbsp (20g) ruby chocolate for tempering. Stir until melted.
  • Spread chocolate evenly into about  9 x 6 inch (23x15cm) rectangle on a parchment paper. Let it set slightly  to room temperature until no longer sticks to finger or if in a hurry refrigerate for few minutes.
  • Cut into squares or rectangles and refrigerate to set completely.
  • Decorate cake with fresh strawberries and ruby chocolate decoration.
