Debba’s granatina

My friend Debba had her birthday a few days ago and in her honor I would like to write about her best recipe. Everyone that knows Debba has (sooner or later) tried her “granatina”. It is a cake made of chocolate and it is a little bit less soft than a mousse.

Granatina recipe

Ingredients:

  • 18 ounces of dark chocolate
  • 3 gelatin sheets (or 1 envelope of gelatin powder)
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 4 cups of heavy cream
  • rum
  • Pavesini cookies (optional)

Directions:

  1. While melting the gelatin in cold water, whip the heavy cream.
  2. Melt chocolate using a bain-marie pan.
  3. Mix chocolate with the whipped cream.
  4. Cook the gelatin for a few minutes with some rum.
  5. Add the gelatin to the chocolate-cream mixture, mixing very well.
  6. Cover the bottom and the edges of a rectangular pan with the Pavesini cookies after dipping them in a mixture made of milk and rum.
  7. Pour the chocolate and the other ingredients into the rectangular pan.
  8. Cover with another layer of Pavesini cookies.
  9. Put the cake in the fridge for the entire night.
