Instructions:

For the cocoa biscuit:

1. Step

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Whisk the egg and sugar on the highest speed for 10 minutes. Combine the flour and cocoa, sift over the egg mixture and fold in gently with a spatula. Spread the mixture evenly on a 16 cm diameter baking tray lined with baking paper (bottom) and bake for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the baked sponge cake from the baking tray and cool on a wire rack.

For the pistachio cream:

1. Step

Whip the sweet cream to soft peaks. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Mix the mascarpone cheese, pistachio spread and icing sugar smoothly. Heat the milk and dissolve the strained gelatine in it. Add it to the pistachio base and stir well to combine the ingredients. Stir in the crumbled pistachios, then fold in the whipped cream with a spatula in two steps.

2. Step

Place a sheet of plastic food foil on a hard surface, place a 16 cm diameter ring on it and wrap the foil tightly around the ring. Place the sponge cake in the ring and moisten it. Spread the pistachio cream over the biscuit and flatten the surface. Place in the freezer and prepare the raspberry gel.

For the raspberry gel:

1. Step

Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Bring the raspberry puree and sugar to the boil and dissolve the strained gelatine in it. Cool the puree until lukewarm, pour it over the pistachio cream and put it in the freezer for at least one hour or until the insert is frozen.

2. Step

When the insert is frozen, prepare the raspberry mousse.

For the raspberry mousse:

1. Step

Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Whip the sweet cream to soft peaks. Blend the mascarpone cheese, icing sugar and raspberry puree smooth. Heat the milk and dissolve the strained gelatine in it. Pour it over the cream and stir well to combine the ingredients. Fold in the whipped cream with a spatula in two steps.

To assemble the cake:

1. Step

Place a baking tray, 18 cm in diameter, on a firm surface on which you have placed a sheet of plastic food film and wrap it tightly around the ring. Place the frozen centre in the middle and fill the edge around the centre with the cream, then cover the top and smooth the surface. Place the cake in the freezer for 12 hours.

For mirror glaze:

1. Step

Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Bring the sugar, water and condensed milk to the boil in a small saucepan and cook until the syrup reaches 103 °C. Remove from the heat, add the strained gelatine and stir until it melts. Pour over the chocolate, wait one minute and blend smooth with a stick blender. Add the colouring and mix again; strain the icing and cover with plastic food film so that it touches. Place in the refrigerator.

For the cake icing:

1. Step

Heat the glaze to 30-32 °C, stir and strain. Separate the frozen cake from the ring, place it on a narrower dish or larger glass and pour over the cake. Allow the excess icing to run off and remove any excess icing hanging from the cake; then, using two palette knives, transfer the cake to a base, decorate as desired and place in the fridge to thaw slowly.
