- 170 g of chocolate with a pronounced bitter taste
- 3 heaping tablespoons of sugar
- 4 yolks
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream, plus 1.5 cups whipping cream
Chocolate pancakes
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp. plus 1 tbsp. l. milk
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 4 teaspoons of sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Chocolate-mint bisque
- 1.5 cups cream
- 50 g butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1/4 vanilla pod
- 50 g dark chocolate, pre-chopped
- 2 drops of mint extract
Decoration
- Whole raspberries 500 ml.
- White chocolate shavings (about 1 cup)
Preparation:
- To prepare the mousse, which will be the filling, melt the chocolate at 40-45 degrees.
- In another bowl, combine the sugar, egg yolks, and 6 tablespoons of cream and stir over simmering water until the mixture thickens and forms a sabayon. Fold half the whipped cream into the chocolate, then carefully fold in the sabayon. Add the remaining cream and fold gently, then chill until ready to serve.
- For pancake batter Beat the eggs well, then add the milk and beat again. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Let sit for 20 minutes.
- For the bisque sauce Place all ingredients except the mint extract in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, stir thoroughly, and then add the extract. Let cool overnight if making ahead. However, be sure to reheat the sauce before serving.
- Place a small amount of pancake batter (30-50g) in a greased frying pan and fry on both sides. Continue until the batter is gone.
- Chill the crepes before adding the filling. To add the filling, place a scoop of chocolate mousse into each crepe and roll it up. Serve 2 filled crepes per person. Drizzle the crepes with chocolate-mint sauce. Garnish with raspberries and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
