INGREDIENTS:
1/2 dozen Chocolate Chip Fairytale Brownies
1 tablespoon freshly brewed Fairytale Coffee®
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
6 egg whites
4 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup of good dark chocolate broken into small pieces
1 9 inch spring form cake tin
1 cup Fairytale Jumbo Cashews
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
DIRECTIONS:
Layer the base of the cake pan with the chocolate chip brownies. Place the
coffee, the liqueur and the chocolate in a heat resistant bowl and melt. Set
aside to cool. Once cool add the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Whisk the egg
whites until stiff and fold the melted chocolate into the whites. Whisk the
cream till stiff peaks form and fold into the chocolate egg white mixture. Pour
the finished mixture over the brownies and place in the fridge for two hours or
overnight to set. Finally, place the cashew nuts on an oiled baking sheet or
silicone mat, melt the sugar over a medium heat with 1/4 cup water until it
turns a blonde caramel color. Pour over the cashew nuts and allow to cool. Once
cool, break into uneven pieces. Once the mousse has set unmold the cake from
the pan and decorate with the caramelized cashews.
