Preparation

  1. Heat to 180 °C. Whisk eggs and sugar for 7 minutes. Mix flour, cocoa and salt, then mix gently. Spread on the 30 x 40 cm thick baking tray; cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Turn to clean paper and remove baking paper. Cut into two rectangles of 30 x 20 cm. Roll each with its paper from a side of 30 cm: we get two rolls of 30 cm long. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  3. Pour the simmering cream three times over the chopped chocolate; emulsify and add the butter. Allow to thicken for 45 minutes, until the texture is spreadable.
  4. Roll out the cookies, share half of the ganache between them and then roll without paper. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Parry only a few millimeters at the ends and cut each roll into four equal sections.
  5. Cover the curved part of the eight logs with the rest of the ganache, in large spatula passages, without covering the spirals. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Leave for 10 minutes before serving.

Preserve and Serve

48 hours in the refrigerator, under bell.

Baking tips for this recipe

  • Chop the chocolate into regular pieces to facilitate its melting on contact with the cream.
  • Mix in the center and gradually widen the gesture to obtain a smooth ganache, without unnecessarily incorporating air.
  • Respect the indicated rest and temperature of use: a warm, soft or cold ganache does not work in the same way.

Substitutions and variations

To replace a main ingredient, choose another sheet designed with the one you want to use. Changing the proportions of fat, sugar or liquid can change the hold of the dessert.

Keep the type of chocolate provided for the structure or ganache. Switching from dark chocolate to white chocolate changes the balance: the quantities do not transpose directly.
