Souffle cream for cake

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make souffle cream for a cake? First, soak the gelatin in cold water and let it stand for about 20 minutes to bloom.

2. Step 2:

   

   Separately, pour 200 grams of milk into a saucepan.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add the sugar to it.

4. Step 4:

   

   Stir in the cornstarch so there are no lumps. To do this, put the cornstarch in a separate cup and pour in a little milk. Stir the cornstarch and milk until smooth, and only then pour it into the saucepan of milk. Set the saucepan over low heat and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. The milk will thicken as it heats.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add the bloomed gelatin to the thickened hot mixture.

6. Step 6:

   

   Stir well until it's completely dissolved.

7. Step 7:

   

   Put the broken-up white chocolate in a separate saucepan. Choose good-quality chocolate made with real cocoa butter.

8. Step 8:

   

   Add the remaining 150 grams of milk. Bring it to a boil over low heat and let the chocolate melt.

9. Step 9:

   

   Then mix the two mixtures—the chocolate-and-milk one and the gelatin one—until smooth. Cool everything to room temperature.

10. Step 10:

    

    Next, whip the cream (be sure to chill it first). Combine the heavy cream (at least 33% fat) with the powdered sugar and whip it until fluffy. Don't whip it to stiff peaks, or it will be hard to fold into the cream.

11. Step 11:

    

    Add the whipped cream to the cooled gelatin mixture a little at a time, gently folding it in with a whisk.

12. Step 12:

    

    You should end up with an airy, thick, smooth mixture like this.

13. Step 13:

    

    Pour the finished souffle cream into a cake pan. You can layer it with sponge cake or berry confit. Put the cake pan in the freezer or refrigerator for a few hours so the cream sets firmly.

14. Step 14:

    

    You can also use this mixture for individual desserts—spoon it into dessert glasses and chill them as well.

15. Step 15:

    

    Once the cake has set, carefully run a knife around it to release it from the pan. You can simply decorate it with berries and serve, or pour a chocolate glaze over it—that's up to you. Enjoy it with your tea!
