Instructions

  1. Soak the gelatine in cold water. Chop the white couverture, carefully melt it over a warm water bath.
  2. Beat egg yolks, cognac, vanilla sugar and 1 tablespoon sugar over a hot water bath until frothy. Stir in the couverture. Squeeze out the gelatine and dissolve it in the warm couverture mixture. Whip the cream until stiff and fold in. Fill into 4 200 ml glasses and chill for approx. 2 hours.
  3. Chop the dark couverture and melt it over a warm water bath. Roast the almonds in a pan without fat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the top and let it caramelize while stirring. Spread the almonds on a piece of aluminum foil lightly coated with oil, allow to cool. Rub the almonds together with your fingers so that they separate from each other. Mix with corn flakes in a bowl. Pour in the couverture and mix in. Place small heaps on baking paper with two teaspoons and allow to dry.
  4. Decorate the mousse with chocolate crossies and serve. The rest of the chocolate crossies are enough.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
