Cooking method

Cooking time: 9H

1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. The baking sheet is lined with baking paper, lubricated with a piece of butter.

2. Break the chocolate into pieces, put it in a saucepan. We send the pan to a slow fire. Keep the chocolate on the fire, stirring, for 5 minutes or until it melts and the mixture becomes smooth.

3. In the chocolate mass, break the egg, mix. Here we also sift flour and cocoa powder. Stir until the mass becomes homogeneous.

4. And now we add sour cream here. Stir until smooth. Pour the dough on a baking sheet and send it to the oven.

5. Bake for 30 minutes. Leave at room temperature for a while so that the base cools down.

6. Now you should cut out round bases from the cake-blanks for cakes. You can cut it using small round cookie cutters with a diameter of 6 centimeters or with the edges of a glass. You should get 6 pieces.

7. Cut out six rectangles of 10 cm x 30 cm from baking paper. Lightly lubricate them with butter. Wrap the rectangles of parchment around each chocolate disk of dough. Using a paper clip, we fix their ends. Thus we get a kind of molds.

8. Dark chocolate is melted in a water bath (you can also in the microwave). While the chocolate melts, pour 1 \ 3 part of the gelatin with hot water, mix until it completely dissolves. Add gelatin to the melted chocolate, mix.

9. We break the chicken egg, separate the yolk from the protein. Put the egg yolk in the chocolate mixture, mix.

10. Using an electric mixer, beat 1 \ 3 part of the cream until soft peaks form. Add cream to the chocolate mixture, mix.

11. Beat the remaining egg white until stable peaks appear. Carefully introduce the protein mass into the chocolate mixture.

12. We spread the resulting mass into prepared paper molds with a chocolate base. We send them to the refrigerator for 20 minutes to solidify.

13. In order to make a second layer of mousse, repeat the same steps with milk chocolate. For the third layer - with white chocolate. After the second layer, we send the forms to the refrigerator for 20 minutes, and after the third - for 6 hours.

14. After the specified time, we will prepare the chocolate glaze. Pour cream into a saucepan. Break the chocolate into pieces, put it in a saucepan with cream. Here we pour sugar.

15. We send the pan to the fire, heat it up until the chocolate melts and the glaze thickens slightly. It will take about 3 minutes. Let the glaze cool down a little.

16. We remove the parchment from the cakes. Pour them with chocolate glaze. Decorate to taste. Alternatively, you can decorate with chocolate chips.
