53
The icing is probably the most difficult part because chocolate solidifies quickly on the frozen cake, you should therefore pour the frosting fast and in large quantity to quickly cover the log.
-
54
When making this dessert it is important to properly organize your time - don't prepare a mousse until the previous one is set, because otherwise they would mix.
-
55
It is also necessary to check the temperature of the chocolate because if it is too hot it melts the whipped cream in the mousse and as for the frosting, if it is poured too hot it would melt your log.
-
56
Since you freeze your dessert do not use agar because it would lose its gelling power.
