【Ice Cream Bomb】: Make star-rated desserts easily

Overview

(Amounts are for reference only, please read Tips before making. A is the cake body, B is the chocolate glaze and decoration) This dessert is a Western dessert made by a star chef in a cooking competition that I saw before. I thought it was beautiful at the time, so I copied it at home. Chocolate glaze is one of the ways to quickly improve the taste of cakes. This method is very simple to say and almost everyone can do it. But again, the simpler something is, the less simple it is! It is actually not an easy task to make the chocolate glaze perfect. A successful chocolate glaze should be as smooth as a mirror and as delicate as silk. After summing up the experience of my predecessors, I made this small cake and the effect was quite satisfactory. If my recipe can help you who are also worried about cake decoration, then naturally it will be better.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash all kinds of dried fruits the night before and soak them in rum. The amount of rum should cover the dried fruit;

   

2. 2 Prepare other materials;

   

3. 3 Process the fruits first, peel the kiwi, pit the cherries and cut them into cubes. At the same time, take out the soaked dried fruits and drain the wine liquid on the surface;

   

4. 4 Whip whipping cream + fine sugar + homemade vanilla extract until 7 points, large and clear lines will appear;

   

5. 5 Take a small bowl with an arc bottom and put a layer of plastic wrap on the inner wall of the bowl;

   

6. 6 Cake or bread slices;

   

7. 7 Seamlessly assemble the cake or bread in a small bowl, and press it slightly to make the pieces more closely connected;

   

8. 8 First spread an appropriate amount of jam on the inner wall of the cake or bread. I use homemade cherry jam, which can be changed according to personal preference;

   

9. 9 Pour a little whipped cream on the bottom;

   

10. 10 Spread an appropriate amount of diced fruits and wine-soaked dried fruits;

    

11. 11 Then pour an appropriate amount of whipping cream and repeat this process until it is 8 to 9 minutes full and basically flush with the edge;

    

12. 12 Finally, press a piece of cake or bread slices on top, the size can be slightly larger than the diameter of the bowl. Wrap the entire cake body with plastic wrap, including the small bowl, and place in the refrigerator to freeze until hard. I froze all night;

    

13. 13 After the cake is completely frozen, prepare the ingredients for the glaze;

    

14. 14 Take out the frozen cake in advance, cover it with a hot towel on the small bowl, and it will take about a few minutes;

    

15. 15 Take out the cake and remove the plastic wrap;

    

16. 16 Trim any irregularities on the edges and place them on a drying net for later use;

    

17. 17 Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a container;

    

18. 18 Put the milk, light cream, and butter into a small container that can be heated in a microwave, then heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds, take it out and stir. If it is not completely melted, continue heating for 30 seconds until it is completely melted. The temperature should not exceed 60 degrees;

    

19. 19 Pour the mixed liquid into the chocolate chips when it is warm;

    

20. 20 Cover and simmer for 2 minutes;

    

21. 21 Uncover and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and evenly mixed with the liquid. The chocolate should be very fine and shiny at this point. If the room temperature is too low and there is still some unmelted chocolate, you can put it in warm water no more than 60 degrees and heat it to body temperature, then take it out and continue stirring until it is completely melted;

    

22. 22 Drizzle chocolate over prepared cupcakes. If you like a brighter effect, you can apply 1 to 2 more times after the first layer of glaze solidifies;

    

23. 23 If you want to decorate, you can put silver beads, etc. while the chocolate is not completely solidified. After it is completely solidified, place it in the refrigerator and freeze it until it is completely solidified before eating.
