CHOCOLATE FINANCIER
BATTER FOR DEVIL DOG ROLL
100
grams confectioner's sugar
75 grams all-purpose flour
75 grams almond flour
8 grams baking powder
110 grams brown butter
(warmed to about 38.7°C/100°F)
200 grams egg whites (whisk a
little by hand)
275 grams heavy cream
220 grams bittersweet chocolate, chopped (preferably
one with 66% cacao)
Sift dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Add the
melted butter and the egg whites. Place the chopped chocolate
in a separate bowl. Heat the cream to a boil and pour over
the chocolate to make a ganache (whisking from the center outward
to form the emulsion). When fully emulsified and blended, add
ganache to the dry ingredients. Mix and chill batter overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Using a pastry bag, fill flexipat
mold with chilled batter. Use a mold similar to a hot dog
bun to recreate the traditional Devil Dog shape.
Bake for
20 minutes and cool to room temperature. Slice cake rolls in
half lengthwise. Pipe the white chocolate mousse on the bottom
layer and then cover with top layer.
