Marshmallow Cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 6 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make marshmallow cake at home? Prepare everything you need. The base of the cake is prepared according to the principle of a cold cheesecake, so any chocolate chip cookie will do. I used Oreo, it is quite hard and you will need a blender to grind it. The binding ingredient is melted butter, you need very little of it, but the quality should be good. Take cream with a high percentage of fat content.

2. STEP 2

   

   Makes the base for the cake. Grind the cookies along with the filling into fine, homogeneous crumbs in a manner convenient for you. Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave, cool slightly and add in parts to the cookies. As soon as the crumbs are moistened, you don’t need to add more, that’s enough. Stir the mixture thoroughly all the time so that the oil is distributed evenly.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take a springform pan d 16-18 cm. The ring can be immediately placed on a flat serving dish at your convenience. Place acetate film inside (you can cut the stationery corner, we will not heat the mold), this will make it easy to remove the cake from the ring, and the sides will remain beautiful. Pour in the wet cookie crumbs, carefully spread over the bottom and press lightly. Cover with film or foil and put in the refrigerator to stabilize.

4. STEP 4

   

   How to make chocolate mousse for filling? Place marshmallows in a large bowl and begin heating in the microwave in short bursts of 20 seconds. As soon as the marshmallows begin to melt, pour in 100 ml of cream. Continue heating in pulses, stirring each time. Instead of cream, you can use milk or berry juice.

5. STEP 5

   

   When the mass has not yet become homogeneous, but has warmed up enough, add dark chocolate 180 g. Keep stirring until the marshmallows are warm enough to melt all the chocolate. Reheat if necessary, but most importantly, do not overheat. The mass will become almost homogeneous, but still airy, let it cool a little, the temperature should be about 40 degrees.

6. STEP 6

   

   In the meantime, beat 300 ml of cold cream until soft peaks form, this is about 4 minutes, the time may vary depending on the mixer. The bowl or bowl must be clean and dry, otherwise the cream may not whip. Cream should have a fat content of at least 33%; less fat is not suitable for whipping. Read more about this in the article, link at the end of this recipe.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add the chocolate mixture to the cream in 2-3 stages. Mix carefully from bottom to top so as not to precipitate the cream. Once the marble pattern appears, add the rest of the chocolate, stirring gently until smooth.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the pan from the refrigerator and pour the mousse onto the base. Flatten the shape slightly, no need to tap so as not to lose the airiness. Cover and refrigerate until the mixture has completely hardened (at least 2 hours), or you can leave it overnight.

9. STEP 9

   

   how to make ganache? Pour the remaining 100 grams of heavy cream into a thick-bottomed saucepan, heat well, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat, add 60 grams of dark chocolate, stir vigorously with a silicone spatula. Lightly rub the chocolate on the bottom until the mixture becomes homogeneous.

10. STEP 10

    

    The finished ganache is bright and shiny. Let it cool a little and thicken, this happens quite quickly.

11. STEP 11

    

    Therefore, the cake must be taken out in advance and freed from the mold and film on the sides. Pour 2/3 of the ganache onto the cake, spread it over the surface with a spatula, make drips and attach the marshmallow decor. You can decorate it to your taste, I added more tangerine slices. Pour the remaining ganache thinly on top. You can serve the cake almost immediately, or put it in the refrigerator until serving.
