Firecracker Icebox Cake
1 cup Nutella
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1 (16 ounce) frozen pound cake, defrosted
1 envelope gelatine
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup non-fat sour cream
2 cups mixed fresh berries such as strawberries, blackberries and blueberries,
sliced
Nonstick cooking spray
Spray inside of 9-inch round springform cake pan with nonstick cooking spray
and line sides with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
In medium bowl, whisk together Nutella and 1/4 cup water until smooth, creating
rich Nutella syrup. Set aside.
Cut 15 width-wise slices (1/2-inch each) of pound cake with serrated knife
and use 10 slices to line pan's inside edge, pressing sides to form overlapping
pattern. Place remaining 5 slices on bottom to fill pan's base, cutting pieces
as necessary to fill holes. Drizzle cake bottom with 1/4 cup Nutella mixture.
In large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add sour cream and
1/2 cup Nutella mixture and continue to beat until mixture once again holds
soft peaks.
Meanwhile, in small microwavable dish, place 2 tablespoons water and sprinkle
with gelatine. Let stand for 1 minute. Microwave on HIGH for 20 to 30 seconds
to soften gelatin. Stir until gelatine completely melts.
Whisk melted gelatine into Nutella-cream mixture until completely blended
to create mousse-like texture.
Layer bottom of cake with 1 cup mixed berries. Spread mousse over berries.
Remove cake from pan and place on serving dish. Drizzle with remaining Nutella
syrup. Make decorative pattern on cake with remaining 1 cup berries. Refrigerate
for 1 hour before serving.
Serving ideas: Using remaining 1 cup of berries, lay strawberries in concentric-circle
pattern with pointed end of each strawberry facing outward. Fill center with
remaining berries. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
