Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture, little by little forming an emulsion, add the meringue in 3 steps, until fully incorporated. Finish with the flour. Spread the mixture evenly in a large tin with wax paper. Bake at 180°C for 12 minutes. When the cake is cold, cut with the help of circular half-moon cutters, set aside.

71% dark chocolate mousse

Verify that the ganache is at 40-45°C to add the semi-cured heavy cream in 3 parts. Place the mousse in small semi-sphere moulds and freeze.

Chocolate frapé
