Best Chocolate Volcanoes With Raspberry Coulis Recipes

VOLCANIC CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKES!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Butter 6 individual ramekins lightly.
• Now, you will want to melt your chocolate with the 2 Tablespoons of butter over lower heat, stirring often.
• Set aside to cool a bit.
• In a food processor or in a blender, process chickpeas, egg, milk, yogurt, orange juice, brown sugar and baking powder.
• Then add your melted chocolate mixture after it has cooled a bit, and process until it is completely mixed through.
• in a bowl sift flour and baking powder together.
• Add the flour mixture to the processor and process until thoroughly combined.
• Transfer mixture to a large clean (preferably glass) bowl, and then fold in your chopped pistachios.
• Pour mixture into your prepared 6 ramekins.
• Put into a baking dish and fill with boiling water 1/2 way up the ramekins.
• Bake in your preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on your oven).
• I made them twice, and they took 45 minutes the first time, and 56 minutes the second time, so that tells you that my oven is screwy!
• NOTE: You will notice that these will look like an exploding volcano when u take them out of the oven, but this is perfectly normal.
• You will allow them to cool completely, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• When they come out of the fridge, they will set back down completely!
• After chilling, you will want to take your strawberries, remove the tops, clean them, and cut thin "sticks" out of the strawberries.
• Toss damp strawberry sticks with desired amount of confectioners' sugar, and set aside.
• Take out your whipping cream, and whip with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon extract until stiff peaks form (to your desired consistency).
• Take out your ramekins, arrange strawberry sticks in a fancy pattern on top, dividing evenly among all 6 ramekins.
• Top with a dollop of your whipped cream, and sprinkle with ground pistachios.
• Serve!
• You may want to make a double batch, because everyone will want seconds!

HOT CHOCOLATE "VOLCANO"

Steps:

• Whisk the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, powdered milk, cinnamon, salt and vanilla powder together with the milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil while continuing to stir the mixture so as to not to burn the chocolate.
• Add the whipping cream to the bottom of your serving mug and tap the bottom to settle. Pour the hot chocolate mixture over the whipping cream in the serving mug. Keep watching the reaction of your Volcano Eruption.
• Add chocolate shavings and pistachios on the top of your volcano.

CHOCOLATE VOLCANOES WITH RASPBERRY COULIS

Steps:

• Volcano: Dissolve coffee granules in boiling water& set aside to cool.
• Grease 6, 4-oz (125 ml) ramekins.
• Using a whisk, combine flour, cocoa and baking powder in a small bowl, set aside.
• Melt chocolate in a double boiler, add butter& sugar and stir until smooth; transfer to a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer, beat in eggs 1 at a time on medium speed, add dissolved coffee& flour mixture and continue beating until fully mixed; raise mixer speed to high and beat for 6 more minutes.
• Pour batter into ramekins and tightly wrap with plastic wrap; freeze overnight or up to 2 weeks.
• Coulis: Combine raspberries& sugar in a blender and puree until smooth; strain through a sieve or cheesecloth to remove seeds.
• Add liqueur and store in refrigerator.
• Assembly: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Take ramekins out of freezer, remove plastic wrap& bake volcanoes for 18 minutes – no longer!
• Cool on rack for 5 minutes- the outsides will be crusty and the centers will be gooey (sort of like your average volcano).
• To serve, drizzle individual plates with raspberry coulis; invert each ramekin onto a plate& add a small scoop of ice cream.
