Pineapple Crushed Verrine on White Chocolate Mousse

Today, here is a recipe that combines our desire for chocolate (here white and dark chocolate for decoration) with the tasting of fruit!

History of finding a less caloric compromise (!)...

Ingredients for 4 glasses:

125g white chocolate

20cl of whole liquid cream

1 egg white

20 g icing sugar

1 feuille de gélatine

5 cl milk

40g de chocolat noir

1/2 pineapple

50g sugar

1 tbsp of liquid honey

1/2 orange juice

1 lime juice

1 pincée de cannelle

1 tsp of liquid vanilla

• Preparation of the white chocolate mousse:

Whip the liquid cream with the icing sugar to obtain a whipped cream consistency. Beat the white until stiff. Keep both preparations in a cool place.

Put the gelatin sheet to soften in cold water.

Then melt the white chocolate in a medium-sized bowl in a double boiler and smooth off the heat. Let cool.

Heat (without boiling) the milk in a saucepan. Add the drained gelatin sheet and stir well.

Finally, gently mix the whipped cream and the whipped egg whites with melted chocolate. Then pour in the milk while continuing to mix.

Pour this preparation into 4 glasses, and then place them in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

• Preparation of the crushed pineapple

Peel and cut the pineapple into very small cubes.

Prepare an amber caramel in a saucepan with the caster sugar and 1 tbsp of water. As soon as the caramel is formed, add the liquid honey, orange and lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla. Let it reduce to obtain a syrupy consistency.

Then add the pineapple, and simmer for a few minutes.

Allow to cool and refrigerate the drained pineapple cubes.

• Decoration

Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie, once the consistency is smooth, draw a large chocolate wafer on a sheet of baking paper. Chill for 10 minutes then cut out strips of chocolate about 1 cm long. Then chill for at least 1 hour.

Before serving, place the crushed pineapple on the 4 white chocolate mousses and decorate with a dark chocolate stick.

My opinion = When tasting, the white chocolate mousse is very creamy and airy, not at all sickening. The pineapple-white chocolate combination is explosive and interesting!
