Valentine's Cake

Ingredients: EVOO Shortcrust pastry (see the recipe) - EVOO Frangipane cream (see the recipe)

- for the salted caramel ganache: 100 ml fresh cream - 80 g granulated sugar - 40 g butter - ¼ teaspoon of fleur de sel (or regular salt).

- for the No bake cheese cake filling : 150 gr Ricotta cheese - 50 gr Powdered sugar - 200 Heavy cream - 5 gr Gelatine.

Prepare the salted caramel ganache the day before.

Cut the butter into small pieces and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of salt. In a saucepan, heat the cream. Put the granulated sugar in another saucepan over medium-low heat, and let it cook until the sugar starts to caramelize.

When the sugar is well caramelized, add the previously heated cream and keep stirring without stopping until everything is smooth and homogeneous. When the mixture stops bubbling, reduce to low heat and start adding the previously salted pieces of butter to the mixture and mix well until fully melted and incorporated into the ganache.

Pour the ganache into a bowl and wait for it to reach room temperature. Cover the ganache bowl with cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator until the next day.

Prepare the EVOO shortcrust pastry (see the recipe) and put it in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and prepare the EVOO frangipane cream (see the recipe). Once that is done, take the shortcrust pastry out of the fridge. Line a pan (baking tin) and add the pastry to it. Cover the pastry with the Frangipane cream. Level the Frangipane cream with the borders of the shorcrust pastry. Bake for 15/20 min.

With the leftover pastry make heart-shaped biscuits and bake for 8-10 min. When baked, put the cake and biscuits on a rack to cool.

When the base has cooled down fully, prepare the no-bake cheesecake filling : Beat together soft cream cheese (I use fresh ricotta cheese) and sifted powdered sugar. Whip in some heavy cream until the mixture is thick and creamy.

Add a little gelatine and whisk it into the creamy mixture, to help make the cheesecake firm and easy to slice. Then using a sac à poche (piping bag), pipe tufts of cream over the whole top of the cake. Put the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator for 2-3h until the filling is firm.

Take the cake and the salted caramel ganache out of the fridge. Whip the caramel ganache until creamy and foamy and use it to decorate the top of the cake with a piping bag. Add the biscuits on top of the cake to finish the decoration.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil Frangipane Cream

Ingredients: 160 g extra virgin olive oil - 40 gr water - 200 gr light brown sugar - 200 gr almonds - 30 gr corn starch - 2 eggs.

Make the almond flour using a food processor by blending the almonds with one spoonful of brown sugar until a flour consistency is reached.

Whip together using a mixer, one egg and one egg white (keep yolk for part below) with the remaining brown sugar to obtain a puffy and frothy mixture.

Add gently to this mixture, the almond flour, and the corn starch, mixing from the bottom up to avoid curdling the mixture.

At this point, pour the remaining egg yolk and water into the glass container of a blender, and start blending them, pouring the extra virgin olive oil in slowly, until a homogenous, dense cream is formed.

Add this cream to the egg-sugar-almond flour mixture and mix with a spatula, carefully until a consistent and fluffy mixture is obtained.

Once fully charred, place the peppers in a ceramic or metal bowl and seal it tightly with plastic wrap. Steam should form on the plastic wrap and this will ensure that the skins will be easy to remove. Once cooled for at least 25 minutes, remove the peppers from the bowl.
