Instructions
Caramel mousse
- Melt the sugar in a saucepan over low heat.
- While watching the sugar, dice the butter and heat 10 cl of liquid cream.
- Place the gelatine in a bowl of cold water.
- When the caramel is ready, whisk in the butter a little at a time, then add the liquid cream.
- Return the pan to medium heat if any unmelted caramel remains.
- Let the caramel cool for 20 minutes before whisking in the egg yolks and drained gelatine.
- Using a mixer, whip 30 cl of liquid cream into a whipped cream.
- Stir the warm caramel into the chantilly and mix gently with a marysee.
Pancake roll
- Peel the apple, remove the core and dice the flesh.
- Lay a pancake flat and spread with crème caramel. Spread some of the apples on top.
- Cover with the second crêpe and repeat these steps to obtain several layers of crêpes/caramel/apples.
- Roll up tightly
- Trim with a knife on each side to obtain a neat roll.
Assembly
- Pour the caramel mousse into your log (or cake) mould.
- Place the pancake roll in the center and press gently with your fingers so that the roll is roughly in the center of the mold.
- With the mousse that has risen on each side, cover the crêpes and smooth with a spatula.
- Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
- When the log is set, turn out onto a serving dish and place in the fridge to defrost for 5 to 6 hours.
- Just before serving, add caramel chips and crushed cat's tongues.
