WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING ENCHILADAS WITH STRAWBERRY ALMOND SALSA

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and butter over simmering water in top of a double boiler.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the milk into a medium-size bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch, cocoa and 1/4 cup of the sugar.
• In a medium-size saucepan over medium heat, scald remaining 3 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of sugar by heating to just under a boil, when it begins to foam. Remove from heat, and whisk hot liquid into the cornstarch mixture. Return to heat and, while constantly scraping bottom of pan with a whisk, cook until tiny bubbles boil up for 10 seconds, no more.
• Put eggs and egg yolks in a bowl. Whisking vigorously, slowly drizzle in one cup of hot liquid. Pour everything back into saucepan. Simmer until tiny bubbles boil up again, constantly scraping bottom of pan with a whisk. Stir in Kahlua. Strain pudding, and fold in the melted chocolate and butter. Cover with wax paper to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside for one hour. Refrigerate until chilled.
• To make enchiladas, first make the crepes. Put flour, cocoa, sugar, milk and eggs in the bowl of a food processor, or blender and run at high speed for one minute. Scrape down the sides, and run for another 10 seconds. Let batter rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Place a nonstick saute pan or crepe pan over medium-high heat for one minute. Remove it from heat and, holding it with one hand, pour 1/4 cup of the batter into it. Quickly tilt it so a thin film of batter coats pan's bottom. Return pan to heat, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the top looks set but not dry and you can lift crepe with a rubber spatula and then your fingers. (Cover your free hand with a paper towel to catch finished crepe.)
• Place crepes cooked-side-up on a sheet of waxed paper, and repeat with rest of batter. You should have 8 to 10.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter a cookie sheet.
• Place a crepe, cooked side up, on a dry work surface. Drop about 1/4 cup of pudding in the center. Spread it from side to side, leaving one-inch borders. Fold bottom edge over the center of the pudding. Next, fold the right side of the crepe back to the middle; repeat with the left side. Fold the last section toward the middle to make the enchilada. Repeat with remaining crepes. These may be prepared up to a day in advance.
• Place each enchilada, seam side down, on buttered pan. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes to warm them. Serve with strawberry almond salsa.

STRAWBERRY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• To prepare the filling: Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla and powdered sugar in the bowl of a mixer; beat until fluffy. Set aside.
• To prepare the sauce: Combine the butter, orange juice, sugar, salt and pureed strawberries in a 3-quart saucepan.
• Put the raspberries in mesh sieve and push them through with a wooden spoon.
• Be sure to scape off the puree clinging to bottom of the sieve. Add the raspberry puree to the mixture in the saucepan. Simmer for 8 minutes, until thickened to a sauce consistency. Remove from heat. Stir in the sliced strawberries.
• To assemble: Butter a 10 x 13-inch baking dish. Place about 2 rounded tablespoons of the filling down the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides over the filling. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Assemble no more than 1 hour in advance so the tortillas don't become soggy.
• Bake the enchiladas in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the filling is puffed.
• To serve: Place each enchilada on a dessert plate, pour a generous 1/4 cup of the sauce over each, then dust with powdered sugar.
