Equipment
- Skillet
- Whisk
- Milk Carton
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 3 eggs
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1.25 cups sparkling water
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 14 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.75 stick butter, softened
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
- brownies
- raspberry jam
- grated chocolate
- 1 half-gallon milk carton, cut in half lengthwise
Instructions
- Heat the milk to about 140°F and pour it over the chopped white chocolate. Once the chocolate has cooled down a little, add the softened butter in cubes. Mix everything with a whisk, fold in the whipped cream, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For a firmer cream, add some unflavored gelatin powder.
- Mix the flour and cocoa powder together, add the egg, salt, sugar, and milk, and mix everything with a whisk until smooth. Add the sparkling water and give it another stir. Cover the batter and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then grease a skillet and cook the crepes.
- Heat the heavy cream to about 140°F and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let the chocolate melt and then add the butter. Mix everything until combined and set the ganache aside for later. Cut the milk carton in half lengthwise and line one half with the brownie that's been cut to fit.
- Cut the chocolate crepes to fit while they're in the skillet (you can use the empty milk carton half as a template). Spread the white chocolate cream over the brownie base in the other milk carton and smooth it out with a spoon.
- Spread a tablespoon of raspberry jam over the white chocolate cream.
- Place one of the trimmed crepes in the empty milk carton half.
- Place another one of the trimmed crepes in the milk carton with the brownie base. Spread another layer of white chocolate cream on both halves. Spread some jam over the white chocolate cream in the carton with a crepe base and place another trimmed crepe over the white chocolate cream in the carton with a brownie base.
- Spread another layer of cream over the crepe in the carton with the brownie base and grate some chocolate on top. Now it's time for another layer of crepe, white chocolate cream, raspberry jam, and chocolate shavings in both cartons. Once you're finished, bring the two halves together and carefully remove the cartons. Add another layer of white chocolate cream to the top of the finished product and pour the chocolate ganache from earlier over the loaf cake. Refrigerate a few hours before serving.
