Triple Threat Mousse

April 12, 2010 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 3 Comments

Triple Threat Mousse- A marvelously wicked dessert that will have your inner Chocolatier gleefully dancing to every bite.

Triple Deck Mousse

I know a dessert is a wide success if my picky eaters love it. I have the great fortune of trying to please three picky palates. For someone who loves to bake and cook and has an immense recipe box, my family enjoys but a small handful of my recipes and this is one of them.

Mousse is one of those dessert staples that every baker should master. It’s fast and easy to make and lends itself well to versatility. It can be served as a standalone dessert or as a stand-in for frosting between cake layers.

Additionally, its malleable body can easily be sculpted into a simple form or dressed up for some elegance. I chose something in between by using a hexagon cake ring and then finished it with a simple chocolate fan.

A few notes:
1. Over beating or whipping your mousse will result in a dry textured mousse rather than a light and fluffy one.
2. Since this is chocolate dessert, use premium chocolates like Valrhona, Scharffenberger or Callebaut.
3. If you use a form like I did, place your dessert in the freezer for an hour and then use a flame torch to heat the sides for release. Although the easiest way to use a form for this dessert is to line the sides with food safe acetate, I just didn’t have any on hand. Food safe acetate can be found at cakedeco.com.
4. If you are not a huge coffee flavor fan, reduce the instant coffee measurement to decrease its intensity.
5. You can prepare this up to two days in advance. If you do, allow dessert to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
