What You Need: 200g of coarsely chopped dark chocolate
1/2 cup of heavy cream
(2 tablespoons) of unsalted butter
Sweetener, 2 tablespoons
a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, for decoration; a variety of fresh fruits (e.g., kiwis, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries) thinly sliced
Instructions:
The Chocolate Ganache Must Be Prepared:
Put the dark chocolate that has been coarsely chopped into a heatproof basin.
Simmer the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes.
Allow the chopped chocolate to soak in the heated cream for one minute.
To melt and smooth the chocolate, gently whisk the ingredients.
While the chocolate is melting, add the sugar, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter and mix until everything is mixed. Let sit for a while to cool down.
Cream the Butter:
Whip the leftover heavy cream into soft peaks in a another dish.
Combine the whipped cream with the chocolate ganache.
The chocolate ganache should be folded into the whipped cream gradually until chilled and properly combined. If you want the mousse to have its airy quality, you need to handle it gently.
Put the Pavé together:
Lay plastic wrap in a loaf pan, making sure to leave a little overhang on both sides for when you want to remove it.
Evenly distribute a layer of thinly sliced fruits over the pan’s base.
Utilizing a spatula, evenly distribute half of the chocolate mousse mixture over the fruit layer.
After the mousse layer, add another layer of fruit slices that are quite thin.
Cover the fruit layer equally with the remaining chocolate mousse mixture by pouring it over the top.
Refrigerate the pavé for a minimum of four hours, or until it sets firmly, after which cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap.
After the pavé has set, use the plastic wrap that hangs over the loaf pan to carefully remove it from the pan. Then, garnish it as desired.
Take the pavé out of the plastic and place it on a dish for serving.
For a sophisticated touch, you may decorate the pavé with extra sliced fruits, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder.
Present and Savor:
Apply a sharp knife to the cooled pavé and cut it into thick slices.
Enjoy the decadent blend of rich chocolate mousse and luscious, fresh fruit as you cut into individual servings and place them on dessert plates.
