MIRROR GLAZE RASPBERRY MOUSSE CAKE
| ULTIMATE RECIPE
Raspberry Mousse Cake with Mirror Glaze – I recently had a patisserie from a famous pastry bakery for my birthday and I loved it. I told myself I must share with you how to cake looks and how to make it. I love the praline and the raspberry flavour mousse was amazing. I usually don’t really fancy raspberry flavour, but if you make it into a mousse, it tastes out of this world. I also love how the mirror glaze turned out. It’s my first time using white chocolate to make a mirror glaze, and it amazingly turned out pretty shiny and glossy. For those who don’t desire using gelatins, just replace the same amount with agar agar powder. I hope you’re inspired, enjoy!

Almond Praline Crunch

Crush the corn flakes. Set aside.

In a non-stick pan, add sugar. Cover over low heat until the sugar is caramelised. Do not stir while it is caramelised. You may check the consistency while moving the pan around.
-
Off the heat. Add in salt and the roasted almond. Mix until they come together. Do this very quickly. Place the praline on a baking sheet for cooling. Break them in smaller piece and place them in a food processor. Pulse a few times until they become sand, then pulse continuously until it becomes a paste. Transfer the paste onto a bowl.
-
Add in the crushed corn flakes and the melted butter. Transfer them into a 6-inch pan, lined transparent sheet around and a non-stick parchment paper on the bottom.
-
Freeze for 30 minutes or while working on the next item.

In a pot, add the frozen raspberries and sugar.

Cook over medium heat until it becomes a sauce.

Remove from the heat. Strain the mixture.
-
Add the lemon juice, mix until combined. Set aside.
-
Raspberry Jelly
-
In a small bowl, add water and gelatins.

Give it a quick mix and let it rest for 5 minutes to swell the gelatins.
-
Microwave the gelatins until it’s completely melted and dissolved.
-
Add the gelatins into 1 cup of raspberry puree. Mix until combined.

Pour on top of the praline crunch.

Raspberry Mousse

In a small bowl, add water and gelatins. Give it a quick mix and let it rest for 5 minutes to swell the gelatins.
-
In a bowl, add white chocolate and hot whipping cream. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
-
After 5 minutes, stir until no lumps. If there are still lumps, pop into the microwave for a few seconds to melt and dissolve the white chocolate completely. Mix until well combined.
-
Add in the raspberry puree. Mix until well combined. Add in the bloomed and melted gelatins (microwave the bloomed gelatins earlier until melted and dissolved.) Mix until well combined.
-
In a large mixing bowl, mix the whipping cream until soft peaks. Add in the raspberry puree chocolate mixture, mix with an electric mixer for a few seconds to combine, do not over mix. Switch to a spatula to mix until well combined.

-
Pour the hot mixture over the white chocolate. Gently whisk it until there is no lumps. The mixture should be soft and smooth.
-
Add a few drops of red food colourings. Mix until well combined.
-
Strain the mixture. Let it cool until it reaches 35°C-37°C or until you feel it’s room temp when you touch with your palm. The mixture is ready to pour over the mousse cake.
-
Let the glaze drip for a few seconds. Transfer the cake over a cake board.
-
White Chocolate Deco
-
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or heat over a double boiler.
-
Make sure there is no lumps in the chocolate.
-
Transfer onto a transparent plastic sheet. Spread the layer evenly. Let the chocolate sit for 1-2 minutes.
-
The chocolate will still be soft but dry. Cut into strips lines. Roll up the sheet diagonally. Fasten with a tap. Let it continue to sit in room temp for a few minutes until it’s hardened or refrigerate couple minutes to speed up the process. Gently open up the plastic sheet, you’ll get the chocolate waves.
