Berry And Peach Napoleons With White Chocolate Mousse - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 tsp powdered gelatin
7 oz white chocolate, chopped
3 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup, plus 3 tbsp sugar
3 medium eggs
1 cup, plus 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
2/3 cup red currants or raspberries
2/3 cup white currants or blueberries
2 None white peaches, pit removed, sliced
None None Mint leaves, to decorate

Preparation

Sprinkle the gelatin into a bowl containing 1/4 cup cold water and set aside for 5 mins. Pour gelatin into a saucepan and melt slowly over very low heat. Do not let the mixture boil. Allow to cool slightly.
Melt the chocolate in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water. Remove from the heat. Whip 2 3/4 cups of the cream until soft peaks form, then gradually fold into the chocolate. Gradually stir in the melted gelatin. Level the surface and chill for at least 3 hours.
Meanwhile, to make the wafers, preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using an electric hand mixer, whisk the sugar with the remaining cream and the eggs. Gradually whisk in the flour.
Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheets, to make twenty-four 3 inch circles. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on wire racks.
Using 3 wafers per 'tower', layer the wafers with the white chocolate mousse, berries, and peach slices. Finish each with a spoonful of mousse and a mixture of the fruits. Decorate with the mint leaves.
