Special Fruit Pavé Recipe

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

    • Place the coarsely chopped dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl.
    • In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for about a minute to soften.
  • Gently whisk the mixture until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the sweetener, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter until well combined. Allow to cool slightly.

2. Cream the Whipped Cream

  • In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • Carefully fold the chocolate ganache into the whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the mixture.

3. Assemble the Pavé

  • Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the top.
  • Spread a layer of thinly sliced fruits evenly across the base of the pan.
  • Using a spatula, spread half of the chocolate mousse mixture over the fruit layer.
  • Add another layer of thinly sliced fruits on top of the mousse.
  • Pour the remaining chocolate mousse over the final layer of fruit, spreading it evenly.

4. Chill the Pavé

    • Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.
  • Once set, carefully lift the pavé out of the pan using the overhanging plastic wrap.

5. Garnish and Serve

  • Remove the plastic wrap and place the pavé on a serving dish.
  • Decorate with additional fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the pavé into thick slices and serve.
