Passionfruit petit four
Passion fruit is the best fruit in the world. The tiny fruit has a big, bold tropical flavor. It is the taste of vacation.
I just found passionfruits in my local store I had to make these small dessert cakes (petit four) from chocolat.dk, that I have been wanting to make for the longest time.
It's a no-bake dessert with chocolate, with flavors that burst in your mouth.
4 small cakes.
Ingredients:
Crust:
30 g hazelnuts
70 g good milk chokolate
30 g pop rock candy (without flavor)
Filling:
40 g good white chocolate
25 g cream
2-3 passionfruits
Directions:
Crust:
Roast the nuts in the oven at 400°F (200°C) and grind them to a flour.
Melt the chocolate over a water bath, let the chocolate cool to 90°F (32℃), then mix in the pop rock candy and hazelnut flour.
Put the "dough" in the mini tart mold, don't make the crust to thick. Let the crust cool in the refrigerator.
Filling:
Chop the chocolate finely, and put it in a bowl, and set aside.
Cut open the passion fruits and scoop out the flesh/juice and strain out the seeds, set aside.
Bring the cream and passionfruit juice to a boil and pour it over the chocolate. Stir until all the chocolate is melted. Let the filling cool before pouring into the crusts.
Keep the cakes in the refrigerator until you serve them. Decorate with freeze-dried passionfriut or shaved chocolate.
Serve the cakes with berries and a good vanilla ice cream.
