Instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water, and cut 2 slices of chocolate pie into small pieces for later use.
2
Cook the egg yolk mixture
Strain the egg yolks first, then combine them with the orange juice and fine granulated sugar. Heat over a double boiler to about 80°C, add the drained gelatin sheets, and stir until melted and well combined.
3
Mix the filling
Whisk the above mixture over an ice bath until thickened. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold the two together until evenly combined.
4
Fill the molds
Place chocolate pie slices at the bottom of the cake molds. Add the filling to about half the height, then tuck the small chocolate pie pieces into the filling until full. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
5
Freeze and decorate
Freeze for 2 hours until fully set. Unmold and brush with a layer of fruit glaze (optional), then garnish with strawberries to finish.
