Method

Spinach sponge

  • Whip the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes.
  • Defrost the spinach (if needed), and squeeze out all the excess liquid. If you're using fresh spinach, then soak it with boiling water, and squeeze it out.
  • Blend the spinach together with oil.
  • Add the spinach to the eggs.
  • Mix in the flour and baking powder.
  • Bake the sponge at 347F (175F) for 35 minutes. Use two 18cm (7.10 inch) rings for that.

* To prevent the sponge color from browning, cover it with foil before baking.

Orange mousse

  • Bring the juice with the zest to a boil.
  • Strain it over the yolks, sugar and starch. Brew, add the butter and gelatin.
  • Cool the mass to 104F (40C).
  • Whip the cream to soft peaks, and combine it with the orange mass.
  • Pour the mousse into a 16cm (6.30 inch) ring, and place it in the freezer.

* To make the yellow color more intensive, you may add a bit of turmeric to the mousse.

Strawberry mousse

  • Bring the puree with sugar and starch to a boil. Add the gelatin and chocolate.
  • Cool the mass to 104F (40C), and combine it with the pre-whipped cream.
  • Pour the mousse into a 16cm (6.30 inch) ring, and place it in the freezer.

Blueberry mousse

  • Mash 1/2 of blueberries with a blender.
  • Bring the berries with sugar and starch to a boil.
  • Add the gelatin and chocolate.
  • Cool the mass to 104F (40C), and combine it with the pre-whipped cream.
  • Pour the mousse into a 16cm (6.30 inch) ring, and place it in the freezer.

 

Yogurt mousse

  • Pour the boiling milk over the yolks, sugar and starch. Brew.
  • Add the gelatin, and pour in the yogurt.
  • Cool the mass to 104F (40C), and combine it with the pre-whipped cream.
