chocolate cremeux

Also known as Crémeux au Chocolat in French, Chocolate Crémeux is a classic French dessert made with five simple ingredients: milk, sugar, egg, heavy cream, and dark chocolate. With a silky texture that isn&#39;t too firm and isn&#39;t too soft, a dark Chocolate Crémeux is the perfect creamy topping or filling for your favorite cakes, pastries, and tarts.

g Milk (3% fat)

g Heavy Cream (36% fat)

g sugar

Semi-melt the chocolate in the microwave or over double boiler in a plastic, microwave safe bowl.

In a large enough bowl, with the help of a Hand whisk, whisk together sugar and egg yolk until slightly fluffy for about 1-2 minutes.

Bring milk and cream to a simmer in a saucepan on medium heat then remove it as soon as it starts simmering. Make sure it is simmering but not boiling.

Pour the warm milk-cream mixture over the egg yolk mixture slowly while whisking vigorously with a Hand whisk. This stage is effectively tempering the egg yolks.

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook on medium heat until the temperature reached 82C / 180F.

Remove the cream from the stove as soon as the cream reaches the desired temperature. Do not cook it further as the mixture will curdle.

Pour custard over semi-melted chocolate and stir throughout with a rubber spatula or hand blend it until fully incorporated.

Place the cream into a shallow bowl or container, cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate to set for a minimum of 6 hours.

After 6 hours, use the cremeux according to the recipe. Any leftover can be refrigerated for 2-3 days.

Would this be ok to fill between layers of a chocolate cake? Does it melt and cause sliding?

This recipe is easy and delicious!  I used it to fill chocolate cupcakes for a wedding, topped with whipped cream.  It was a perfect combination.  I may have also eaten a lot of it straight.  Yumm

Receita maravilhosa, vou usar para as sobremesas do Natal, Obrigada por compartilhar.

milk

heavy cream

white granulated sugar

salt

bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped

caramel sauce or dulce de leche

fresh berries: eg. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries

chocolate curls

In a saucepan set over medium heat, heat  and  until just starting to bubble, but not boiling. Then remove from the heat.

In a heatproof bowl that you can use as a double boiler (Bain Marie), add , , and a . Whisk together until completely smooth.

Very slowly pour in the hot milk and cream mixture, whisking as you pour. Place the bowl on top of a saucepan set over medium-high heat. This is your double boiler.

Use a rubber spatula to continuously stir the mixture as it heats through. At this stage, you are making a crème anglaise. It is ready when it visibly thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 10-15 minutes).

Place  in a heatproof bowl. When the creme anglaise has thickened, pour it through a sieve over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.

Use an immersion blender to emulsify the chocolate and creme anglaise. If you don’t have one you can stir vigorously with a rubber spatula instead. When properly mixed, the custard and chocolate will become completely smooth and unified. It will look thick and very glossy.

Leave the Chocolate Crémeux in the bowl or pour it into a serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down so that the plastic wrap is touching the surface of the Chocolate Crémeux. Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.

When the Chocolate Crémeux has set, you are ready to assemble the dessert. Heat a dessert spoon by immersing it in boiling water, then dry it off. Make chocolate quenelles by running the hot spoon across the surface of the crémeux. The action is similar to scooping out soft ice cream.

Place the quenelle of chocolate on a dessert plate then drizzle over some caramel sauce, scatter over the berries and chocolate curls.
