Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Shell

    Melt the Chocolate:

    • Take 300 g (11 oz) of milk chocolate and mix it with 20 ml (0.7 fl oz) of vegetable oil. Microwave for 2 minutes to melt completely.
    • Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag.

    Decorate the Bowl:

    • Take a medium-sized round glass bowl, turn it upside down, and use the piping bag to decorate the bowl from bottom to top with the melted chocolate, covering the entire surface.
    • Refrigerate the Chocolate Shell:
    • Place the decorated bowl in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.
    • After the chocolate hardens, remove the glass bowl, leaving the chocolate shell.

    Step 2: Prepare the Caramel Peanut Filling

      Make the Caramel:

      • In a frying pan, add 220 g (7.8 oz) of sugar and heat until it turns into caramel.
      • Add 80 g (2.8 oz) of butter and mix well, followed by 140 ml (4.7 fl oz) of whipping cream. Mix until smooth over low heat.

      Cool the Caramel:

      • Transfer the caramel to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
      • Once cooled, add 100 g (3.5 oz) of chopped roasted peanuts and mix well.

      Set the Caramel Layer:

      • Pour this mixture into the bottom of the chocolate shell.

      Step 3: Prepare the Cream Filling

        Mix the Ingredients:

        • In a bowl, combine 400 g (14 oz) of cream cheese, 120 g (4.2 oz) of powdered sugar, and 500 ml (17 fl oz) of whipping cream. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.

        Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:

        • Mix 20 g (0.7 oz) of gelatin with 40 ml (1.4 fl oz) of water and microwave for 1 minute.
        • Separately, microwave 35 g (1.2 oz) of dark chocolate with 20 ml (0.7 fl oz) of vegetable oil for 1 minute.

        Combine and Beat:

        • Combine the gelatin mixture and melted chocolate, then add to the cream cheese mixture and beat again until well incorporated.

        Set the Cream Layer:

        • Pour this cream mixture over the caramel layer in the chocolate bowl.

        Step 4: Prepare the Cake Base

          Mix the Cake Batter:

          • In a bowl, beat 2 eggs with 100 g (3.5 oz) of powdered sugar. Add 40 ml (1.4 fl oz) of vegetable oil and beat again.
          • Add 55 g (1.9 oz) of flour, 25 g (0.9 oz) of cocoa powder, and 7 g (0.2 oz) of baking powder. Mix gently with a hand whisk.

          Bake the Cake Base:

          • Pour the batter into a round cake mold and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15 minutes.
          • Shape and Set the Cake Layer:
          • Cut the cake to match the top opening of the chocolate bowl. Place it on top of the cream layer.

          Final Chill:

          • Refrigerate the assembled dessert for 20 hours.

          Notes

          • Chocolate Selection: Use high-quality milk chocolate for the shell to ensure a smooth, glossy finish.
          • Chilling Time: Make sure to allow the dessert to chill for the full 20 hours to help the layers set properly and make it easier to slice.
          • Serving Tips: Serve this dessert cold for the best texture and flavor.
          • Variations: You can add a layer of fruit jam or fresh berries for an extra burst of flavor and color.
