Step 1: Preparing the base
1. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using a mixer until they become a firm, glossy foam.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the mixer, gradually adding the oil. Continue mixing and add the powdered vanilla, sweetener, baking powder, and flour. Mix the composition well.
3. Gradually fold the egg white foam into the yolk mixture, gently mixing to preserve the air in the egg whites.
4. Pour the composition into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and place it in the preheated oven at medium heat for 12-15 minutes, until it passes the toothpick test.
Step 2: Preparing the syrup
1. In a cup, pour 150 ml of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of ground coffee. Mix well, let it cool, and then strain the mixture. This will be our flavored syrup.
Step 3: Preparing the coffee cream
1. In a bowl, beat the mascarpone cream together with the liquid cream until you obtain a firm cream.
2. Add the melted milk chocolate over a steam bath and cooled, dark cocoa, instant coffee, and the 2 tablespoons of coffee. Mix well.
Step 4: Preparing the white cream
1. Beat the mascarpone cream with liquid cream until you achieve a pleasant, slightly soft consistency.
Step 5: Preparing the mirror glaze
1. Hydrate the gelatin in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
2. In a saucepan, boil the water, condensed milk, and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves (about 2 minutes).
3. Pour the hot mixture over the chopped white chocolate in a glass bowl. When the temperature drops below 50 degrees, add the hydrated gelatin and mix well.
4. Dissolve the powdered food colorings in half a teaspoon of hot water, then divide the glaze into 4 small bowls, adding the desired color to each portion.
Step 6: Assembling the globules
1. After the base has cooled, cut out circles of different sizes (for example, 6.5 cm and 3.5 cm).
2. Gently soak the base circles with the prepared coffee syrup.
3. In a plastic mold, place cling film on the bottom. Spread a layer of white cream, add a smaller circle of base, followed by a layer of coffee cream, then place a larger circle of base. This will be your globule. Repeat the process for the other globules.
4. Place the molds in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Step 7: Decorating
1. When the glaze has reached a honey-like consistency, carefully pour it over the globules, moving from the center to the edges.
2. Decorate with sugar decorations and coconut flakes. If desired, coat a globule in melted and cooled milk chocolate for an extra touch of flavor.
Practical tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a fluffy base.
- Use a thermometer to check the glaze temperature before adding the gelatin; this is the key to achieving a perfect glaze.
- If the glaze thickens too much, you can reheat it over a steam bath for 30 seconds.
Delicious combinations
Sweet globules pair wonderfully with a cup of aromatic coffee or fruit tea, and a glass of sweet wine can add an elegant touch. You can also experiment with other fillings, such as chocolate cream or fruit mousse!
Calories and nutritional benefits
Each sweet globule has approximately 250 calories, depending on the specific ingredients used. They are a source of energy and can provide a touch of happiness due to the chocolate and coffee, but when consumed in moderation, they can be part of a balanced diet.
