GELATIN MASS

Ingredients Total weight: ~ 147 g 100%

Powdered gelatin 200 Bloom 21 g 14%


Cold water 126 g 86%

1 Pour the powdered gelatin into a clean container and add cold water. Gently stir with the whisk.

2 Put the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for the gelatin to swell and bloom.

3 Then take the mass out of the fridge and melt it. Remove the foam that might have formed with
a sieve if necessary.

4 Put the mass back into the fridge so that it sets completely. Then cut it into cubes with scissors
for more convenient weighing and work. The ratio of gelatin and water is always 1:6. We take one
part of gelatin and six parts of water.

5 You may make the gelatin mass in advance and store it in the fridge for 2 days.
TIP
If you use the gelatin leaves, take the same amount of them as the gelatin in grams and soak them in cold water.
The gelatin leaves will absorb the right amount of water they need. Then squeeze them out and use them as it is said.

SPONGE

6 Whip together the egg whites with the salt in a mixer with a whisk attachment. Start whipping at
low speed, and then gradually increase it until a light foam is obtained. Then add the remaining
erythritol and whip the egg whites into a very fluffy foam.

7 Combine the whipped egg whites with the egg yolk mixture using a spatula.

8 Pour the batter into a mold that is 16 cm in diameter and 5.5 cm in height. To make sure that the
batter distributes evenly within the mold, move it around until it is level.

9 Place the sponge batter in the oven, preheated to 180 °C / 356 °F and bake it for 20 minutes.
Depending on your oven, you can adjust the temperature from 165 °C / 329 °F up to 180 °C / 356 °F.
Check whether the sponge is baked or not with a skewer. If it comes out dry, the sponge is ready.

10 Remove the sponge from the mold and let it cool down to room temperature. Then wrap it in cling
film and place it in the fridge. The sponge can be kept in the fridge for a day if it is being assembled
the day after. If you are assembling it in 2-3 days, then it is better to freeze it and then defrost it
before starting to assemble it.

11 Before covering the sponge cake with crémeux, cut off the top of the sponge with a serrated knife.

CRÉMEUX

7 Place the sponge cake in a mold which is 16 cm in diameter and 5.5 cm in height and pour the
crémeux over it. Rotate the mold to spread the crémeux evenly. If you have any air bubbles, then
lightly tap the mold against your work surface.

8 Place the mold in the freezer to set. After the mold has been in the freezer for 2-5 minutes, take it
out of the freezer and sprinkle it with dessicated coconut. After that, return it to the freezer and
keep it there until completely set.

9 Remove the crémeux-coated sponge from the mold by bending down the sides of the mold and
leave it to defrost in the fridge for one hour.
