CHEF JOHN HUI'S CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT MOUSSE
San Francisco Marriot

Serves: 12

Hazelnut Cake
8 oz. Sugar
10 ea. Egg Yolks
2 oz. Cake Four
6 ea. Egg Whites

Frangelico Liqueur


Procedure:

Cream sugar and egg yolks and egg yolks until light in color and set aside. Sift flour and hazelnut meal and mix together. Whip the egg whites until they form a stiff peak and gently fold in the yolk and flour mixtures.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spread batter evenly over pans with a spatula. Bake at 340 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes; test with a skewer.

Chocolate Hazelnut Mouse
3-1/2 oz. Sugar
18 ea. Egg Yolks
2 oz. Praline Paste
1 pt. Milk
14 Gelatin Sheets
(or 1-3/4 oz powder gelatin)
24 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate (chopped)
10 ea. Egg Whites
17 oz. Sugar
3 oz. Glucose
1 qt. Whipped Cream

Procedure:

Cream the 3-1/2 ounces of sugar, egg yolks and praline paste until light in color and set aside. Place milk in pot, bring top a boil and remove from heat. Add the pre-soaked gelatin sheets and chopped chocolate until everything is dissolved; add sugar and egg mixtures. Make an Italian Meringue by cooking 17 ounces of sugar and 3 oz. glucose in a pot with enough water to cover mixture; cook until it reaches 240000000000 degrees. Slowly add sugar mixture to egg whites and blend with a mixer on low speed. After all the sugar has been added, turn mixer on high to form a nice stiff Meringue. Fold chocolate mixture into the Meringue and then gently fold into the whipped cream.

To Assemble:
Place Hazelnut cake in the bottom of a rectangular pan (9"x13") with a 2 inch side and soak with Frangelico Liqueur. Use half of the chocolate Hazelnut mousse and spread evenly over cake. Place the second cake on top and soak with Frangelico Liqueur. Spread the remaining mousse over the cake until it reaches the top of the pan and smooth out with a spatula. Freeze for about 4 hours, remove from pan, dust with cocoa powder and serve.
