Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g (3.5 oz) shelled pistachios, finely ground
  • 100g (3.5 oz) powdered sugar
  • 50g (1.75 oz) all-purpose flour
  • 4 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 50g (1.75 oz) granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 200g (7 oz) pistachio paste (store-bought or homemade)
  • 400ml (1.7 cups) heavy cream, chilled
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 75g (2.6 oz) granulated sugar
  • 6g (2 tsp) powdered gelatin (or agar-agar for vegetarian)
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) whole milk
  • 200g (7 oz) granulated sugar
  • 150g (5.3 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 150ml (2/3 cup) water
  • 150g (5.3 oz) white chocolate, chopped
  • 12g (4 tsp) powdered gelatin
  • 2 tbsp rose water
  • Pink gel food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pistachio Dacquoise Base: Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C). Pulse pistachios in a food processor until finely ground. Sift powdered sugar and flour together. Whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy, gradually add granulated sugar and whip to stiff peaks. Gently fold dry ingredients into egg whites. Spread batter evenly on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 15-18 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely and cut into an 8-inch circle.
  2. Make the Pistachio Mousse: Bloom gelatin in cold milk for 5 minutes. Whisk egg yolks and sugar over a double boiler until pale and thick (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Whip cream to soft peaks. Mix pistachio paste into egg yolk mixture, then fold in whipped cream gently. Pour mousse over dacquoise base inside cake ring, smooth top, and refrigerate at least 3 hours until set.
  3. Prepare the Rose Mirror Glaze: Bloom gelatin in cold water. In saucepan, combine sugar, condensed milk, and water; heat until sugar dissolves without boiling. Remove from heat, add bloomed gelatin and stir until melted. Pour hot mixture over chopped white chocolate; let sit 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Stir in rose water and optional pink gel color. Cool glaze to 90°F (32°C).
  4. Glaze the Entremet: Remove mousse cake from fridge and unmold onto wire rack over tray. Pour mirror glaze evenly over top, letting it drip down sides. Smooth with spatula if needed. Transfer to serving plate and refrigerate 30 minutes to set.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Garnish with crushed pistachios or edible rose petals. Slice with warm knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean. Serve chilled.

Notes

For gluten-free, replace all-purpose flour with almond flour. For vegan, use agar-agar instead of gelatin, coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and vegan white chocolate. Temperature control is crucial for mirror glaze; cool to 90°F (32°C) before pouring. Bloom gelatin properly to avoid grainy texture. Prepare dacquoise and mousse in advance; glaze last. Store refrigerated up to 3 days; best served chilled. Leftovers can be frozen for up to a month.
