to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees
My words rained over you, stroking you.
A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body.
I go so far as to think that you own the universe.
I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells,
dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.
I want
to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.
Pablo Neruda
My spring inspiration brought me this Black Forest combined with a tiramisú…
Tiramisú
Syrup:
200 g water
200 g sugar
60 g Kirsch
Bring the sugar to boil with the water until it’s completely dissolved.
Let it cool down and add the kirsch.
Mascarpone mousse:
4 egg yolks
80 g sugar
3 gelatin sheets
250 g mascarpone
125 ml semi-whipped cream
Bloom the gelatin.
Whisk the egg yolks with sugar in a bain-marie until the mixture reaches 85ºC.
Add the gelatin and combine until completely dissolved.
Add the mascarpone and combine until smooth.
When the mixture reaches 20º C gently add the cream.
Pour the mixture into a pastry bag and set aside.
100-200 g cherries, pitted and diced
50 g dark chocolate, grated
Cocoa
Assembly:
Soak the cake with the syrup.
Sprinkle with the cocoa and the dark chocolate.
Place the cherries on top of the cake.
Spread the mascarpone mousse.
Repeat this operation.
I’ve decorated with a thin circle of dark chocolate.
