Francese Mousse Cake

[ChelChel]

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has the recipe to the French francese flourless mouse cake ?
I had one today from Brunetti's and fell in love, I've been scouring the Internet trying to find a recipe but it's so difficult to find for some reason.
I hope someone has the recipe they could kindly share with me :) here's a photo of the cake yum yum !!

This site - https://thecakesisters.wordpress.com...e-mousse-cake/ - tells you what it's made of, but not how to make it. I would look up chocolate and caramel fondant recipes, and then a chocolate mousse recipe. To make it, create the fondant in a suitably sized ramican that has been first buttered. Then, make the mousse in a buttered bowl. Remove the fondant from its container and press into the bowl full of mousse. Invert the mouse onto a plate of chopped hazelnuts. You might want to place the bowl of mouse into a little hot water to loosen before turning over the hazelnuts.

That's my best answer as I have no recipe for it.

Welcome to DC. I hope you won't be offended (we all make typos on here) but I loved the idea of a "mouse cake".

Thank you Chief Longwind of the North
I'm going to attempt to recreate one. Hope it tastes the same :)

Haha yes Mad Cook, I thought I'd put "flourless" "mouse cake" as some sites say flourless cake and some say mouse cake. :)

I think what Mad Cook was referring to was that you spelled it mouse cake, as in mouse - little furry rodent, when it should have been spelled - mousse cake - mousse being a light airy starchy item, similar to an American style pudding, but with the texture of stiffly beaten egg whites.

It's ok though. I mithpell woids all the tim.
