Chaleur: Strawberry and white chocolate mousse entremets: My time to play!

 I dreamed about making this cake for a long time ^^. There were a lot of problem lately (the flood and the people, hehe), but now I feel that I have enough time to do something I really want to.

Chaleur: Strawberry and white chocolate mousse entremets
It's quite fun to make something so beautiful. Each parts that you make are so important, so planing is the best thing that will help you through the work. The name of these entremets is Chaleur (it mean heat or warmth in French), and come from the Patisserie l’abricotier that share their recipe in the magazine "cafe-sweets(カフェ-スイーツ) vol.123". Anyway I have to make some adaptation (again, it's not easy to follow all of the recipe that made for professional in our home kitchen).
It contains strawberry cream (or you can call it jelly), strawberry mousse, white chocolate mousse, biscuits d'amands and Strawberry milk glaze, very good for anyone who love strawberry, hehe. As always, each part of it is not hard to make at all, but I can't say that it didn't take some time to crate it (unless you have a Blast Chiller/Shock Freezer because the time that you have to spend is for waiting each layer to firm enough to continue your work -*-). Like the jelly, I had to wait for almost 5 hours for it to firm enough to take it out of the mold, and I almost ruin the strawberry mousse because I miscalculate it.
So I suggest you to start making the strawberry cream a day ahead, so you will prevent the problem. 
For the decoration, because I had enough time to play so I made the macarons and the white chocolate too, but I think it's very delicious on its own, so I let it to be your decision, ^^. If you want to play it's quite fun, but if you only want to eat, stop working after pour the glaze and enjoy it.

  1. Hi Pook, i couldn't resist this one.. moreover, pink is my favorite color. but in the middle of reading your recipe, i wonder what nappage is.. is it ready-bought or you have to make it on your own again?
    thanks for sharing this beautiful cake with us. :D

  7. Hi, Monica Adriana
    I use the ready made one ^^.

    Hi, Pastry
    You can use apricot jam (warm and strain it), instead of it too.

    Hi, Jennifurla
    Thank you.

  15. Hi, Natsuko
    Thank you, about the decoration will show you when I have a chance.

    Hi,Iyly
    You can use the same amount of the gelatin powder. You will need about for blooming the gelatin, 1 1/2tbsp of water per 3g of gelatin powder.

  16. How would I change the flavour? I love this dessert so much but I am making it for a project, it is going to be vanilla and rose flavour, but I have no idea how to do the rose cream [jelly] and rose mousse, can you think of anything? thank you ><

  18. Hi, Natsuko
    You can use the mousse from this recipe http://dailydelicious.blogspot.com/2008/12/contrast-of-flavor-vanilla-mousse-with.html
    and for the insert you can use Crème Brûlée from here
    http://dailydelicious.blogspot.com/2011/03/amour-de-fraise-macaron-with-tea.html
    or making the rose jelly from syrup and gelatin ^^.

    ReplyDelete
  19. is there any changes I can make to this recipe to suit the project Im doing? ^^ also rose jelly from syrup and gelatin? [I am sorry I feel like im bugging you]

    ReplyDelete
  20. I have trouble taking these out of the moulds without damaging them, is there a specific way to take the desserts out of the mould? :D

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi, Natsuko
    You can add the rose extract into this entremets too, I think it will be good.
    The rose jelly can be made from syrup with a gelatin, or you can mix it with raspberry puree too.

    Hi, karen
    Warming the mold with hot towel will make the work a lot easier. ^^

    ReplyDelete
  22. Will the apricot jam alter the taste on the glaze or dessert in any way? because I cannot find nappage and I saw that you could use apricot jam warmed/strained,

    ReplyDelete
  23. Is there anything I can subsitute creme de fraises for? I live in the UK but can't find it anywhere

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hi, Karen
    The apricot jam is not alter the taste of this dessert, ^^, you cna use it.

    Hi, Natsuko

    You can use any kind of strawberry flavor liqueur.

    ReplyDelete
  25. When you say freeze do you mean literally freeze it or let it set? because I have just made the cream and put it in the freezer

    ReplyDelete
  26. I mean freeze it ^^, because it will be easier to move it around and cover it with glaze when it's frozen.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I did not find any strawberry liqueur but I have strawberry flavouring, will that be okay?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh dear, everytime I make the white chocolate mousse, the egg mixture and the cream forms a thick mass, what am I doing wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hi, Karen
    You can use that too, a bit of it will be OK.
    And for the chocolate mousse, it can come from over the egg yolk, use the thermometer and stir the mixture all the time will help.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I really love this, it looks so amazing and lots of effort in this little mousse cake, and again great job!

    ReplyDelete
  31. amazing site~ i already learnt so much reading for just 20 mins! will come more often! All ur recipe look awesome ! I have already added this one to my " to do list" ^___^

  32. Hi Pook , i follow your recipe for the milk glazing, but the glaze cant cover the mousse even i put 3-4 layers. The mousse still can be seen from outside, can you tell me what went wrong?
    I used 3 pieces of gelatin (1 pc =2gram), i cut down the sugar to 100 gr because i afraid will be too sweet if i put in 180 gr.
    Thank in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Because the amount of the sugar is too little, the glaze will not set. And the gelatine is about 1.7g per sheet, it will be better to weigh it before using.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thank you Pook, I will try again to make that one next time i will add the sugar accordingly.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Pook i have one more question, can i change the cream with the milk as i dont have cream at this moment. Will it affect the texture of the glaze?

    ReplyDelete
  36. It will effect the glaze, because the fat is not enough ^^.
