Chocolate Mascarpone Cream with Thermomix

Preparation of Chocolate Mascarpone Cream with Thermomix

1. 1. Preparation of the Yolk and Sugar Base
2. Place the yolks, egg and sugar in the Thermomix jug.
3. Insert the butterfly and beat for 4 minutes at speed 4. This step allows the mixture to aerate and integrate correctly, resulting in a fluffy and homogeneous texture.
4. Tip: Make sure the egg and yolks are at room temperature to make blending easier.
5. 2. Incorporation of Mascarpone
6. Remove the butterfly from the jar.
7. Set the Thermomix to speed 2 for 1 minute and add the mascarpone through the hole in the lid.
8. If necessary, prolong the action for a few more seconds until the mixture is well integrated.
9. The mascarpone cream should be smooth and without lumps. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and keep it in the refrigerator.

Preparation of Chocolate for Cream

1. 3. Chopped Chocolate
2. In the clean Thermomix glass, place the 100 g of dark chocolate and chop it for 10 seconds at speed 8.
3. Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped.
4. 4. Dissolve the Milk Chocolate
5. Add the 70 g of milk to the jug.
6. Dissolve the mixture for 3 minutes at 50ºC and speed 4. This step ensures that the chocolate melts completely and mixes well with the milk, forming a smooth ganache.

5. Final Mix

1. Once the chocolate is dissolved and slightly cooled, combine it with the reserved mascarpone mixture.
2. Use a spatula to gently mix until the two elements are well integrated. You can use the Thermomix again at speed 3 for about 10 seconds to obtain a uniform mixture if you wish.
3. Transfer the chocolate mascarpone cream to a container and keep it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before using.
