Bird's milk cakes

Ingredients:

Biscuit:
2 eggs
0.5 tbsp. flour
0.5 tbsp. Sahara
0.5 tsp soda

Souffle:
3 squirrels
2/3 tbsp. Sahara
1 tbsp. gelatin (with a slide)
a couple of drops of lemon
50 g chocolate
2 tbsp. jam (any kind, I used blueberry)

Glaze:
50 g chocolate
2 tbsp cream (10%)
0.5 tsp vegetable oil

Preparation:

1. Separate the whites from the yolks and beat in a dry bowl with a pinch of salt into a strong foam. Then add sugar in small portions and continue whisking until it dissolves. Lightly beat the yolks with a mixer, add to the whites and mix gently with a spatula. Then gradually sift the flour and soda and continue mixing with a spatula.
2. Place the dough in greased molds and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool the finished biscuits.
3. Pour gelatin into 50 ml of cold boiled water and leave to swell. To prepare the soufflé, beat the whites with drops of lemon juice into a strong foam, then add sugar little by little. Heat the gelatin over low heat and stir until completely dissolved (without boiling). Cool the gelatin to room temperature and add to the beaten egg whites, continuing to beat. Divide the mixture into three equal parts, and add jam to one, and chocolate melted in a water bath to the other.
4. We don’t touch the third one. Now we fill our prepared molds with the soufflé. Place the molds in the refrigerator until completely set or in the freezer for 20 minutes. At this time you can prepare the glaze. To do this, mix the chocolate in a water bath, vegetable oil and cream. Bring the mixture until smooth and cool to room temperature.
5. When the soufflé has hardened, remove the cakes and pour glaze over each cake. I also decorated the cakes with “chocolate lace”. They are very simple to make; to do this, you need to put the chocolate in a thin small bag, and put the bag in a glass of boiling water for 2 minutes. Then we cut a corner of the bag and make patterns on parchment paper (they can be drawn in advance with a pencil). When the patterns are ready, put them in the cold to harden. Remove the frozen “chocolate lace” from the parchment paper and decorate the cakes.
