Chocolate brioche burger (dessert)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The term 'burger' here refers to the form, not the content. This dessert is a play of cold and warm, soft and crisp textures: warm, buttery brioche embraces cold ice cream, all crowned with melted chocolate. In Italy, 'Brioche con Gelato' is a classic Sicilian breakfast; this recipe is a more decadent, chocolatey version of it.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Bain-marie (bowl over pan of water for melting chocolate)
  • Ice cream scoop
  • Sieve (for icing sugar)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Cereals containing gluten
⚠️ Nuts
⚠️ Peanuts

Instructions

1 ✓

Whip the cold double cream until stiff peaks form, and refrigerate until use.

Tip: Cream only whips well if it is ice cold. The fat globules in it can then form a stable structure around the bubbles. (Foam formation).
2 ✓

Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt over steam (bain-marie). When done, remove from the steam to cool slightly.

Tip: The steam shouldn't be too hot, and the bottom of the bowl shouldn't touch the water, otherwise the chocolate might burn. (Gentle heat treatment).
3 ✓

Slice the strawberries, chop the hazelnuts roughly.

Tip: Pieces of different sizes make the chewing experience more exciting.
4 ✓

Halve the brioches and warm them through in the oven or a dry pan just enough to be tepid.

Tip: The contrast between warm dough and cold ice cream is the soul of the dish. Don't toast too hard!
5 ✓

Assembly (work quickly!): Drizzle melted chocolate on the bottom of the brioche. Seat the ice cream scoop on this.

Tip: Upon contact with the cold ice cream, the chocolate sets quickly, forming a snappy layer.
6 ✓

Sprinkle the ice cream with grated milk chocolate and hazelnuts. Surround with strawberries.

Tip: The acidity of the strawberries counterbalances the abundant sweetness.
7 ✓

Dollop on some whipped cream, place the brioche lid on top, and dust with icing sugar. Serve immediately.

Tip: It's appropriate to eat this with a knife and fork, or very many napkins!

Recipe FAQ

How do I serve it so it doesn't melt immediately?
Prep everything (mise en place). Chocolate should be runny, strawberries sliced, buns toasted. Only take the ice cream out of the freezer at the last moment.
What if the chocolate seized when melting?
Water probably got into it or it overheated. Try stirring in a little double cream or butter to restore the emulsion.
