Categories     Cake     Milk/Cream     Chocolate     Dessert     Kid-Friendly     Almond     Amaretto     Gourmet     Small Plates

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups fine chocolate wafer crumbs (about 30 wafers)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 pints coffee ice cream, softened slightly
1 1/2 cups well-chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups crushed amaretti (Italian almond macaroons, available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets)
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
For the dark chocolate sauce:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3 to 4 tablespoons Amaretto, or to taste

Steps:

  • To make the cake:
  • In a bowl with a fork stir together the crumbs and the butter until the mixture is combined well, pat the mixture onto the bottom and 1 inch up the side of a lightly oiled 8-inch springform pan, 2 1/2 inches deep, and freeze the crust for 30 minutes, or until it is firm. Spread the ice cream evenly on the crust and return the pan to the freeze for 30 minutes, or until the ice cream is firm. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream with the vanilla until it holds stiff peaks, fold in the amaretti thoroughly, and spread the mixture over the ice cream. Smooth the top of the cake, sprinkle it with the almonds, and freeze the cake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the top is firm. Freeze the cake, covered with plastic wrap and foil, for at least 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, wrap a warm dampened kitchen towel around the side of the pan, remove the side, and transfer the cake to a serving plate. Cut the cake into wedges with a knife dipped in hot water and serve it with the chocolate sauce.
  • To make the sauce:
  • In a small heavy saucepan combine the cream and the brown sugar, bring the mixture to a boil over moderately high heat, whisking occasionally, and boil it, whisking, until the brown sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolates, whisking until they are melted. Whisk in the butter and the Amaretto, whisking until the sauce is smooth, and let the sauce cool slightly. The chocolate sauce may be made 1 week in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the chocolate sauce over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warm.

CHOCOLATE COFFEE SAUCE



Chocolate Coffee Sauce image

I made this recipe as an experiment one day because my 6 year old wanted a mud pie blizzard from Dairy Queen. Instead of going all the way into town, I made this to make his mud pie Blizzard at home. He loved it! Coming from a 6 year old that is very picky, I knew I had created a new family favorite.

Categories     Mixer     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Freeze/Chill     Kid-Friendly     Chill     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes 12 profiteroles, serving 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the profiteroles
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 large eggs
coffee ice cream
confectioners' sugar for sprinkling the profiteroles if desired
For the chocolate sauce:
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons water
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Kahlûa or other coffee-flavored liqueur, or to taste

Steps:

  • Make the profiteroles:
  • Into a bowl sift together the flour and the cocoa powder. In a small heavy saucepan combine the butter, the water, the granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat to moderate, add the flour mixture, and cook the mixture, beating it with a wooden spoon, until it pulls away from the side of the pan, forming a ball. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and with an electric mixer at high speed beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoons onto a buttered baking sheet, forming 12 mounds, baking the profiteroles in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are puffed and crisp, and let them cool on a rack. The profiteroles may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container. Reheat the profiteroles on a baking sheet in a preheated 375°F. oven for 5 minutes, or until they are crisp, and let them cool on the rack.
  • Make the chocolate sauce:
  • In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water melt the chocolate with the water and the cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth, and stir in the kahlûa. The sauce may be made 1 week in advance, kept covered and chilled, and reheated. Makes about 1 cup.
  • With a serrated knife cut each profiterole in half crosswise, discard any uncooked dough from the centers, and sandwich a small scoop (about 1 1/2 inch in diameter) of the ice cream between the top and bottom of each profiterole. Sprinkle the profiteroles with the confectioners' sugar, pour about 1/4 cup of the sauce onto each of 4 dessert plates, and arrange 3 profiteroles on each plate.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 27

Sauce
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 ounce bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder or instant coffee granules
Filling
1/2 cup sugar
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups half and half
4 teaspoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee granules
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
Pastry
1/2 cup milk (do not use lowfat or nonfat)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee granules
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/3 cup sliced almonds
Powdered sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum

Steps:

  • For Sauce:
  • Stir sugar and water in heavy small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep golden brown, occasionally washing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush, about 9 minutes. Add cream (mixture will bubble up). Reduce heat to very low. Stir until caramel dissolves completely and mixture is smooth. Add butter, chocolate and espresso powder and stir until smooth. (Sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • For Filling:
  • Whisk sugar and yolks in medium bowl until thick, about 1 minute. Add flour and beat until well blended. Combine half and half and espresso powder in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in vanilla seeds; add pod. Bring just to simmer over medium heat. Gradually whisk hot half and half mixture into egg mixture. Return egg mixture to same saucepan and cook until mixture is very thick and boils, whisking constantly. Pour mixture into medium bowl. Remove vanilla pod. Add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of filling to prevent skin from forming; cool completely.
  • Whisk filling until smooth. Beat chilled whipping cream in another medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into filling in 2 additions. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead.)
  • For Pastry:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Stack 2 cookie sheets. Line top cookie sheet with parchment. Trace 8 1/2-inch-diameter circle on parchment, using cake pan as guide. Turn parchment over. Butter circle lightly and dust with flour.
  • Combine milk, butter, sugar, espresso powder and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Bring just to boil over medium heat, stirring until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Add flour and cook 3 minutes, stirring vigorously with wooden spoon (mixture will form ball). Remove from heat. Make well in center of dough. Break 1 egg into well. Using wooden spoon, beat rapidly until egg is incorporated and dough is smooth, about 1 minute. Repeat with second egg. Beat third egg to blend in small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon egg for glaze. Add remaining beaten egg to dough and beat until smooth.
  • Fit pastry bag with 3/4-inch star tip (no. 7). Transfer warm dough to bag. Pipe 3/4-inch-wide ring over traced circle on parchment. Pipe second ring inside first, making certain batter adheres to inside of first ring. Pipe third ring atop center of first two rings. Brush lightly with reserved egg glaze. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  • Bake pastry 2 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. and bake until pastry is golden brown and firm to touch, about 40 minutes longer. Turn off heat. Leave pastry in oven 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Carefully remove pastry from parchment. Using serrated knife, cut pastry in half horizontally. Arrange cut sides up on rack (pastry will appear moist and slightly doughy inside). Cool completely.
  • Fit clean pastry bag with 3/4-inch (no. 7) star tip. Transfer filling to bag. Place pastry bottom on platter. Pipe filling into pastry in large circular mounds. Set top of pastry over filling. Dust lightly with powered sugar. Gently heat sauce in heavy small saucepan. Mix in rum. Using serrated knife, cut pastry into wedges. Serve, passing sauce separately.

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, plus more for finishing
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
3/4 cup pure cane granulated sugar, for rolling

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Put the chocolate in a medium bowl. Add the hot cream to the bowl with the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Gently whisk until smooth. Stir in the coffee liqueur and vanilla extract. Keep warm. For the churros: Whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, the cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, the nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Bring 1 1/2 cups water, the pumpkin puree, butter and vanilla to a boil in a medium saucepan, whisking constantly.

Provided by John Torode

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

350g digestive biscuits
140g butter , melted
50g desiccated coconut
200g milk chocolate , chopped
200g dark chocolate , chopped
250ml milk
300ml double cream
6 egg yolks
3 tbsp cornflour

  • Meanwhile, make the toffee sauce. Dissolve the sugar and 2 tbsp water in a large pan over a low heat. Bring to the boil and cook until golden and caramelised, about 2 mins. Whisk in the butter in small batches, then remove from the heat and stir through the cream. Set aside to cool.
  • To make the coffee cream, mix the coffee in 1 tsp boiling water to make a paste. In a large bowl, whip the cream halfway, then add the coffee, sugar and vanilla, and whip until soft peaks form. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
