Mousse cake:

Place ring tin on cake base. Line sides with thinly sliced strawberries. Place a layer of sponge on base. Add half of mousse, using a spatula and a turntable squeeze the mousse into the cracks between the strawberries. Place another layer of sponge, pressing it flat. Pipe mousse into the cracks between the sponge and strawbs and tin sides, then flatten top with spatula and turntable. Freeze and unmold with blowtorch.

Souffle Cheesecake

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Yan Bing

This was a good learning experience. The taste is good, but the appearance… Anyway, things to change:
– Bottom too wet (put tray lower and line bottom with sponge)
– Tops rose too high (fill with less)
– Tops cracked (water bath/lower temperature)
– Collapsed (line tins with paper, allow to cool slowly in oven instead of removing immediately)
