Layered chocolate passionfruit entremet dessert with chocolate and white chocolate layered mousse and passion fruit mirror glaze

As I write this, Series 5 of Great British Bake Off has come to an end. A winner has been crowned and we can all start making plans for Wednesday evenings again…

I am actually a little relieved I don’t have to keep up with the baking on the show – baking in the living room with builders drilling non-stop in the former kitchen is far from ideal!

But this baking challenge is actually tied with the previous episode – the semi final – where our bakers grappled with baklava, enteremets and schichttorte. I think these challenges are more interesting than what was included in the actual grand finale…

What’s an Entremet?

Entremets are elegant desserts consisting of contrasting layers, typically of different flavoured mousse and frequently topped with mirror glaze. Take a look at my Mirror Glaze Cheesecake post to see a simplified version of an entremet.

Useful Equipment

I did not have all the required equipment to make a really impressive entremet, so I had to create a layered mini one in these Stainless Steel Food Rings.

They worked really well, but for a professional finish you really need some food grade acetate to line the rings.

You will also need digital scales for accurate measurements, Monin Passionfruit syrup for the glaze (use the rest in a Pornstar Martini!).

Chocolate Passion Fruit Entremet

This is entremet consists of four components: a sponge cake base, a chocolate mousse, a passionfruit mousse and a passionfruit glaze.

The elements are layered in the steel food rings creating a beautiful dessert that’s sure to impress!

For an easier version you can also layer the mousse (without the sponge) in large glasses. Not only does it look fabulous it is also much easier and quicker to make…

Ingredients

For the sponge

  • 4 large eggs
  • 125 g (4 oz) sugar
  • 125 g (4 oz) plain flour
  • 60 g (2 oz) unsalted butter , melted and cooled
  • pinch salt
  • 5 tbsp Monin Passion Fruit Syrup

For the chocolate mousse

  • 2 sheets platinum grade gelatin
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) milk chocolate , chopped
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate , chopped
  • 120 ml ( ½ cup) whole milk
  • 200 ml (7 oz) double cream

For the passionfruit mousse

  • 2 sheets platinum grade gelatin
  • 125 ml (½ cup) strained passionfruit juice from 6-8 fruit, reserve some of the seeds
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 60 (2 oz) grams caster sugar
  • 200 ml (7 oz) double cream (see note)

Passionfruit Glaze

  • 125 ml (½ cup) Monin Passion Fruit Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon glucose syrup
  • 2 sheets platinum grade gelatin

Instructions

Sponge Layer

  • Preheat the oven to 220C (423F). Line a swiss roll tin with greaseproof paper and then spray the paper with cake release spray.
  • Put the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and whisk together using a hand whisk until pale.
  • Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water on low heat. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick and pale and falls from the whisk in a thick ribbon.
  • Sift the flour with a pinch of salt and then fold into the mixture in two or three stages adding it alternately with the melted butter until it is well incorporated.
  • Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 7 minutes, turning the tray around halfway if needed.
  • Cool completely before using. This can be made a day in advance.
  • To assemble: brush the cake with warmed passionfruit syrup (you can also use a simple sugar syrup) then cut 6 circles out using the steel rings. Set aside. (You will have cake leftover).

Chocolate Mousse

  • Soften the gelatine sheets in a glass of cold water. Set aside.
  • Place the chopped chocolate into the bowl of the Magimix fitted with a metal blade. Pulse briefly until the chocolate is almost powdered.
  • Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until small bubbles appear at the edges of the pot. Take off the heat.
  • Squeeze the gelatine to get rid of excess water then add to the milk and stir until dissolved.With the Magimix running add the hot milk in a steady stream and mix until the chocolate melts. This should only take a few seconds. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Add half of the whipped cream (see note above) and stir to blend then fold the rest in.
  • Pour a layer of chocolate mousse in the cake-lined rings and then place in the freezer while you prepare the passionfruit mousse.

Passionfruit Mousse

  • Soften the gelatine sheets in a glass of cold water. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg yolks and sugar together in a large bowl then add the passionfruit juice and mix together.
  • Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water on low heat. Stir together until the mixture is fairly warm and slightly thickened.
  • Squeeze the gelatine to get rid of excess water then add to the bowl and stir until dissolved.
  • Add half of the whipped cream (see note above) and stir to blend then fold the rest in.
  • Pour a layer of passionfruit mousse over the chocolate mousse leaving a small gap at the top and then place in the freezer while you prepare the passionfruit glaze.

Glaze

  • Soften the gelatine sheets in a glass of cold water. Set aside.
  • Heat the passionfruit syrup in a small saucepan until warm but not boiling. Take off the heat.
  • Squeeze the gelatine to get rid of excess water then add to the pot and stir until dissolved.
  • Cool the glaze (I poured it back and forth between two measuring jugs).
  • Arrange some of the reserved passionfruit seeds on top of the entremet and then top with the passionfruit glaze.
  • Chill in the freezer until completely set.
  • Warm the rings in your hands then use the pusher to gently push the entremets out of the rings. Place on plates and transfer to the fridge for a few hours (otherwise the mousse will be frozen) before serving.

    Hi!! I’m looking forward to make this!! I don’t have as many small molds, so I’m planning to make it as one large dessert. Do you know which diameter should I use for a cake with one recipe? Thanks!

      Hi Antonia, sorry for late reply! I am afraid I haven’t tested this recipe using a large container so I can’t say for sure and wouldn’t want to venture a guess.

    We tried to duplicate a dessert we had in Vienna last summer, and this came very close! Delicious! We ordered the syrup from Amazon.

    They are generally a bit harder and they invite a patissier every week to teach a technique and then judge a challenge based on it. In the first episode they had to temper chocolate and create a chocolate sphere. Also the programme goes on for two hours and thirty minutes followed by another hour of extras.
    I finished my Sachertorte. I had the same problem with the glacage as most of the competitors. Will photograph and post soon.

      Why not? I would love to watch the French Bake Off! I wonder how different it is to the UK one. Are the recipes much harder?
