I wish you a very happy birthday Véronique! Of course, you will find her recipe right HERE!

Chocolate Mousse Cake with Pears
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 1/2 oz (155 g) milk
- 7 1/4 oz (205 g) dark chocolate chips (I used Barry Callebaut Dark Chocolate 54.5% | Melted)
- 14 tbsp (200 g) butter (1 3/4 Sticks | Melted)
- 6 eggs (Separated)
- 1 tps (1 g) vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar (Original Recipe calls for 3/4 Cup | 150g)
- 3 1/2 oz (100 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 pear (Peeled | Core Removed | Thinly Sliced)
Instructions
- Place your Medium Round Flexipan® Mold on the top of your Medium perforated baking sheet. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 325F/165C.
CHOCOLATE FONDANT WITH PEARS
- Pour your milk into a medium saucepan. Add the dark chocolate and butter. Heat on medium low until the butter is almost melted. Remove from heat and whisk until combined. Set aside to cool down.
- Separate egg yolks from egg whites in two mixing bowls.
- In the first mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla bean paste with the sugar. Fold the cooled melted chocolate preparation and all-purpose flour.
- In the second mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until almost stiff peaks. Then, using a spatula carefully fold it into your first preparation.
- Pour your Batter into your Flexipan®.
- Peel and remove the core of your pears. Slice them into quarters, then arrange them on top of your cake.
BAKE!
- Bake for 45 minutes at 325F/165C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your chocolate cake from 42min). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out almost clean.
- Once your Chocolate Mousse Cake with Pears is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 30 minutes, then unfold it onto your service plate. Enjoy & Bon Appétit.
- N.B. This cake is much better enjoyed cold: Refrigerate it for a couple of hours!
