Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 3 hours
Total time: 3 hours 30 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients:
For the charlotte:
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 cup of sugar
- 200 ml of milk
- A pinch of salt
- 4 packets of gelatin
For the whipped cream:
- 6 egg whites
- 1 kg of liquid cream (ideally Hulala)
- 4 packets of vanilla sugar
- 4-6 packets of cream stabilizer
For decoration:
- 2-3 packets of whipped cream from Dr. Oetker + 3 packets of cream stabilizer (in addition to those for charlotte)
- Fruits (bananas, pineapple, kiwi, peaches, oranges, strawberries, or others as preferred)
- Store-bought chocolate topping
- Biscuits or ladyfingers (to replace the base)
For the roses:
- Honey
- Milk powder
Preparation:
1. Preparing the charlotte: Start by mixing in a medium saucepan the 6 egg yolks with 1 cup of sugar, 200 ml of milk, and a pinch of salt. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. This process will take about 10-15 minutes. Once the cream has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
2. Preparing the gelatin: In a small bowl, add the 4 packets of gelatin and pour in a cup of fruit compote juice. Let the gelatin swell for 5-10 minutes, then melt it either in a bowl of hot water or over low heat. Stir constantly until the gelatin becomes liquid. Let it cool slightly, but it should still be warm.
3. Combining the ingredients: When both the egg yolk cream and gelatin are cooled, but not completely, mix them in a large bowl. This step is crucial; if the gelatin is too hot, it will melt the egg yolk cream.
4. Beating the egg whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the vanilla sugar and cream stabilizer, continuing to beat until you achieve a firm meringue. Add this mixture to the egg yolk and gelatin mixture, gently folding with a spatula to avoid losing air from the meringue.
5. Adding the fruits: Cut the desired fruits into small cubes and drain them well. Combine them with the whipped cream and egg yolk mixture, making sure to distribute them evenly.
6. Assembling the cake: In a cake pan lined with plastic wrap (to prevent sticking), place a layer of biscuits or ladyfingers at the bottom. Pour the charlotte mixture over it, leveling the surface well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, until it sets perfectly.
7. Decorating the cake: After the cake has set, carefully remove it from the pan. Whip the cream with the 2-3 packets of whipped cream and the 3 packets of stabilizer, then decorate the cake with whipped cream on the edges and on top. Add the store-bought chocolate topping for a special look.
8. Preparing the roses: Mix one or two teaspoons of honey with 3-4 tablespoons of milk powder. Shape roses from this mixture and decorate the cake for an elegant touch.
Serving:
When it’s time to serve, you can cut the cake into generous slices and accompany it with a fruit sauce or a scoop of ice cream. This Diplomat Cake with Chocolate Topping is not just a dessert but a culinary experience that will remain in everyone’s memory. Don’t hesitate to experiment with various fruit combinations or even chocolate flavors for a personalized version.
