Cookalong #34 ----- CHOCOLATE clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by wizardnm (My Page) on Mon, Aug 30, 10 at 11:56 Ready for a new Cookalong subject? Terri_pacnw has picked chocolate! I'm ready and already into it, just the thought of chocolate can put a smile on my face. I also have an idea for some fun! If everyone could try to post their favorite, T+T chocolate recipes by Sunday Sept 12, I think it would be fun to make a recipe that has been submitted during the next week. Do a little post on this thread about it the recipe you choose, during that week after. A picture of the final product would be great but not necessary. So it would go like this.... Aug 30 - Sept 12 post recipes using chocolate Sept 13-19 make one of those recipes and do a little post about the recipe. No rules other than our standard T+T rule for posted recipes. You don't have to post a recipe to join in the fun of making one that has been posted that last week..... just join in and reap the benefits of making something yummy! That's what cooking and baking is all about. Nancy Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Cookalong #33-Cinnamon Follow-Up Postings: RE: Cookalong #34 ----- CHOCOLATE clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Mon, Aug 30, 10 at 13:01 This recipe immediately comes to mind right now, because raspberries are in season. These are awesome with morning coffee. Here's to you Marlen!! Marlen's Raspberry Love Muffins 2 cups flour (I use half whole wheat pastry flour) 2 tsp. baking powder 1 heaping cup white chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet dark ones, Hershey's brand) 1 stick softened butter (that's 1/2 cups) 3/4 cup sugar (I often use 2/3 cup instead) 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1 TBLSP grated orange zest 1/2 cup milk (I use lowfat, and have used soy) 2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries. (Could use blackberries too) Sift flour with baking powder and mix in the chocolate chips; set aside. With an electric mixer (or your own arm power and a wooden spoon, lol!), beat softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and orange zest. Mix in dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with the milk. Fold in raspberries as gently as possible. Do not overmix. Spoon into greased muffin tins and bake at 375 degrees F, for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from tins. If you can stand to wait ten minutes. Makes I think one dozen. I use a cookie scoop to put the batter in the muffin cups, sure makes it easier.

This is not double chocolate...but I suppose you could dust it with cocoa after removing from the pan. Flourless Chocolate cake 14 oz Ghrirdelli Chocolate semi sweet 14 oz unsalted butter 3/4 cups sugar 1/2 cup sugar 10 eggs 1 Tbs vanilla 2 Tlbs triple sec ( or grand mariner)............12 inch spring form pan, well buttered Preheat oven to 250 Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler Separate eggs When chocolate and butter are melted, add 3/4 cup sugar and stir until well dissolved Beat egg yolks and add chocolate mixture, mix well and return to double boiler and cook stirring until slightly thickened. Add Vanilla and triple sec/ In a clean bowl, with clean beaters, beat the eggwhites until soft peaks form. Add the last 1/2 cup sugar 1 Tbs at a time beating after each addition until stiff peaks form. Fold chocolate mixture into egg whites and pour into springform pan. Bake 250 for 2 hours......when cool, turn upside down so the top is the bottom and sift powdered sugar over the top for pretty.

REAL CHOCOLATE PUDDING 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder salt cornstarch 2 cups milk 1 tsp. vanilla 1 Tbsp. butter In a heavy saucepan, thoroughly combine sugar, cocoa, salt and cornstarch. Gradually stir in about half of the milk until smooth (a wire whisk is a great help for this), then stir in remaining milk. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until mixture is thickened and comes to a boil, about 5 to 8 minutes. Cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and butter until smooth. Pour into individual serving dishes. If desired place pieces of waxed paper directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent ‘skin’ from forming. Chill until set. Serve with a big cone shaped tower of whipped cream on top, if desired. Makes 4 servings. RE: Cookalong #34 ----- CHOCOLATE clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by canarybird (My Page) on Mon, Aug 30, 10 at 15:20 Chocolate is such a great choice! If you were around in the 1960s you may remember that little fridge dessert made from Nabisco thin dark chocolate wafers and whipped cream. Stand the wafers on end and slather whipped cream between each one and cover with cream to make a white log. Refrigerate. After a few hours remove it from fridge and slice diagonally to make a chocolate striped dessert to surprise your student friends. I wanted to make something like that a few years ago but as those thin chocolate wafers were not available I decided to try using Oreo biscuits, making it into a sliced fridge loaf. It's full of calories and very rich. Something I might make once every ten years. I lost the recipe when my computer crashed, but luckily I had a printed copy which I've scanned and saved. STEP 2: STEP 3: STEP 5: Nearly ready....just needs retouching and some chocolate curls. SharonCb RE: Cookalong #34 ----- CHOCOLATE clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by arabellamiller (My Page) on Mon, Aug 30, 10 at 15:55 Oh my, Sharon. That is something. I had better not let my kids see that recipe or I'm in trouble. Here's a favorite celebration cake in our house. Just a sliver works because it is super rich. I've swapped out the liquor listed for others. American Honey works nicely with the white chocolate, and Godiva liquor or XO Cafe work with the chocolate. Really anything! Chocolate Truffle It's a layer of dense chocolate cake, almost brownie like, with three layers of frozen truffle on top and a chocolate ganache to top it off. It's not difficult, just time consuming. Feel free to skip the ganache on top, it's overkill. A dusting of cocoa powder is plenty. 12ounce Bittersweet chocolate; coarsely chopped 9 tablespoon Unsalted butter; cut into tablespoons 8 large Eggs; separated, at room temperature ¼ cup Plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided 2 tablespoon All-purpose flour WHITE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE LAYER: 1 pounds White chocolate; coarsely chopped ¾ cup Heavy cream 3 tablespoon Poire Willliams liqueur MILK CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE LAYER: 1 pounds Milk chocolate; finely chopped ¾ cup Heavy cream 3 tablespoon Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE LAYER: 1 pound Bittersweet chocolate; finely chopped 1 cup Heavy cream 6 tablespoon Pure maple syrup Cocoa powder Whipped cream YIELD: 10 servings SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: One 8 1/2-inch springform pan. Make the moist chocolate cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 17 1/2 -by 11 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan. Line the bottom of the pan with baking parchment or waxed paper. Dust the sides of the pan with flour and tap out the excess. Melt the chocolate with the butter according to the directions in the Chocolate Melting Tips; set aside. In a 4 1/2-quart bowl of a heavy-duty elec trio mixer, using the wire whip attachment, beat the yolks with 3 tablespoons of the sugar on high speed until pale, 3 to 4 minutes. At low speed, beat in the melted chocolate mixture; increase the speed to medium and continue to beat for 2 minutes, until the mixture is silky and shiny. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and sprinkle the flour over the chocolate batter (do not mix it in). In a grease-free 4 1/2-quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer, using the wire whip attachment, beat the egg whites at low speed until frothy. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating the whites until they start to form soft peaks. One teaspoon at a time, gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue to beat the whites until they are stiff and glossy. Using a balloon whisk or rubber spatula, fold the beaten whites (along with the flour) into the chocolate mixture one-third at a time. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer with an offset metal cake spatula. Bake the cake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Run a small knife around the sides of the pan and invert the cake onto a wire rack. Peel the paper off the cake and allow it to cool completely. Make the white chocolate truffle layer: Place the white chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to a gentle boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let the mixture stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Gently stir until smooth; stir in the Poire Williams liqueur. Begin to assemble the cake: Using the bottom of an 8 1/2-inch springform pan as a guide, cut out two 8 1/2-inch rounds from the moist chocolate cake layer. Place one of the rounds in the bottom of the spring-form pan. Scrape the white chocolate truffle mixture onto the cake round and spread it into an even layer. Freeze the cake for 1 hour, until set. Make the milk chocolate truffle layer: Place the milk chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over median heat, bring the cream to a gentle boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let the mixture stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Gently whisk until smooth; stir in the Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur. Remove the cake from the freezer and scrape the milk chocolate truffle mixture over the white chocolate layer. Spread the mixture into an even layer. Return the cake to the freezer for another hour. Make the bittersweet chocolate truffle layer: Place the bittersweet chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream and maple syrup to a gentle boil. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let the mixture stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Gently whisk until smooth. Remove the cake from the freezer and scrape the bittersweet chocolate truffle mixture over the milk chocolate layer. Spread the mixture into an even layer. Return the cake to the freezer for 30 minutes. Place the second cake round on top of the bittersweet truffle layer and gently press down on the cake to seal it. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 6 hours. Unmold and garnish the cake: Using a portable blow dryer or damp, very hot towel, carefully heat the outside of the springform pan. Run a small, thinbladed knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Carefully remove the side of the springform pan. Dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder. Cut the cake into slices using a long sharp knife and garnish each slice with whipped cream RE: Cookalong #34 ----- CHOCOLATE clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by rosewitch (My Page) on Mon, Aug 30, 10 at 16:35 I love chocolate and really love brownies. I finally got around to trying this one from Fine Cooking. I really liked being able to make them using only a whisk and saucepan. Turned out to be the easiest brownies I have ever made and I have made them three times in the last month. I took one batch to work and they were gone in less than an hour and there were only about 8 people working during that hour! Many of the guys had 2 or 3! Now every time anyone needs a treat I have been asked to bring this again. Fine Cooking's Ultimate Fudgy Brownies 1-1/2 cups unsalted butter; cut into 9 pieces 1-1/4 cups unsweetened natural cocoa powder; sifted 2-3/4 cups sugar table salt 5 large eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 1-2/3 cups flour Preheat oven to 325* and line the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch tin with foil; leaving an overhang on the short sides. Lightly butter the foil. Put the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until melted, about 2 mins. Off the heat, whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth, 1 minute. Add the sugar and salt and whisk until well blended. The batter should be warm not hot. If it's hot, set the pan aside for a minute or two before continuing. Whisk in the eggs, two and then three at a time until just blended. Whisk in the vanilla until the batter is well blended. Sprinkle the flour over the batter and stir with a rubber spatula until just blended. Scrape the batter into the tin and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with small bits of brownie sticking to it, 35 to 45 minutes. For fudgy brownies, do not overbake. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a rack, about 3 hours. When the brownies are cool, use the foil overhang to lift them from the pan. Invert onto a cutting board and peel away the foil. Flip and cut into 24 squares. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic and store at room temp. for up to 3 days. Can also be frozen for up to 1 month. Variations Add-Ins: Stir 1 cup chopped toasted nuts (such as pecans, unsalted peanuts, or walnuts) or 3/4 cup baking morsels (peanut butter, or bittersweet, semisweet, or white chocolate) into the batter after adding vanilla. Chocolate Glaze and Toppings: Put 6 oz. chopped bittersweet chocolate and 4 oz. unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces, in a small, heatproof bowl set over a small pot of barely simmering water and stir frequently until melted, about 3 minutes.(Alternatively, the chocolate and butter can be melted in a microwave.) Pour the glaze onto the center of the cooled brownie (after unmolding but before cutting into squares). Using a small offset spatula, spread the glaze evenly over the brownie. If you like, sprinkle your choice of topping (crushed toffee or peppermint candies, or chopped nuts) over the just-poured glaze. Let the glaze cool until set, 1-1/2 to 2 hours, then cut and serve.

I've made alot of different chocolate zuchinni breads over the years but ran across this recipe from the blog Vanilla Basil-- & have made it 3 times since-- it's by far the moistest, tastiest one I've ever had ! ( & as much as I like cardamom the one I used cinnamon & cayanne was better). Diane's Home Cookin Chapter: Quick Breads Chocolate Zucchini Bread With Coffee And Cardamom 2 large eggs 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup light brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1-1/2 tablespoons instant espresso granules 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional) or cinnamon & a bit of cayanne 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup really good quality cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1-1/2 cups shredded zucchini (summer squash also works well) 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks 1/2 cup chopped macademia nuts (optional) Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a loaf pan. Beat the eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the oil, sugars, vanilla, espresso, cardamom and salt and mix well. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Toss in zucchini, chocolate and nuts and stir to combine. Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and invert to remove. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

They were awesome! Chocolate Cheesecake Candy Cane Bars From Food Network Kitchens A very happy marriage of brownie and cheesecake, these holiday bars always get raves. Recipe Summary Difficulty: Easy Prep Time: 20 minutes Inactive Prep Time: 8 hours Cook Time: 45 minutes Yield: about 16 (2-inch) squares Crust: 20 chocolate wafer cookies 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground coffee beans (I used instant coffee granules) 1/4 teaspoon fine salt Filling: 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup sour cream 2 large eggs, room temperature Glaze: 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon light or dark corn syrup 2 tablespoons sour cream, room temperature 1/2 cup crushed candy canes (see Cook's Note) Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with foil. For the crust: Process the chocolate wafers in a food processor with the butter, sugar, coffee and salt until fine. Evenly press the crust into the prepared dish covering the bottom completely. Bake until the crust sets, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling: Put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl; heat at 75 percent power until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir, and continue to microwave until completely melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.) Blend the cream cheese, sugar and sour cream together in the food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides, as needed. Add the eggs and pulse until just incorporated. With the food processor running, pour the chocolate into the wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour the filling evenly over the crust. Bake until filling puffs slightly around the edges, but is still a bit wobbly in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack. For the Glaze: Put the chocolate, butter and corn syrup in microwave safe bowl. Heat glaze in the microwave at 75 percent power until melted, about 2 minutes. Stir the ingredients together until smooth; add the sour cream. Spread glaze evenly over the warm cake and scatter the crushed candy canes over top. Cool completely, then refrigerate overnight. Cut into small bars or squares. Serve chilled or room temperature. Store cookies covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cook's Note: To crush the candy canes, remove wrappers and place in a resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to roll and break the candy up into small pieces, about 1/4 inch or so.

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Glaze ) Ingredients 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips or bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped 1 cup (2 sticks) plus 3 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks 1 1/4 cups sugar 6 eggs 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tablespoon milk 1 tablespoon honey 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray, then line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper. Spray the paper with cooking spray, too, then set the pan aside. Place two-thirds (8 ounces) of the chocolate and 1 cup (2 sticks) of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Stirring often, melt chocolate with butter until completely blended. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. (Alternatively, you may use your microwave to melt the butter with the chocolate, if desired). Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Sift cocoa into bowl and stir until just blended. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cake has risen and top has formed a thin crust. The cake should be just firm in the center when done. Cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate, removing sides of springform pan. Remove and discard parchment paper and set cake aside to cool completely. Meanwhile, make the chocolate glaze. Melt remaining 4 ounces chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, then stir in milk, honey and vanilla. Set aside to cool slightly. When cake has cooled, pour glaze onto the center. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, very gently smooth glaze along the top and sides of the cake. Chill cake, uncovered, for 30 to 60 minutes before serving to set the glaze and make the cake easier to slice. GANACHE 1/4 cup raspberry jam, heated to a near boil, whisked until smooth and removed from heat 6 ounces whipping cream or nondairy creamer 1/4 cup butter or unsalted margarine, cut up 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped Extra whipping cream, softly beaten, or nondairy whipped topping (for serving) In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry jam, whisking, until it almost comes to a boil. In another saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream or nondairy creamer and butter or margarine. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat. Add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Add raspberry jam and whisk well. While the cake is still in the pan, pour the ganache over the top. Without spreading it, gently shake the pan to distribute the ganache evenly. Refrigerate the cake in the pan for at least 2 hours and at long as overnight or until the ganache sets. Run a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake; unlatch the spring.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer at a very low boil for 30 seconds, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Then stir in the remaining 1 cup cream. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, scraping the saucepan as thoroughly as possible, and set a mesh strainer on top of the bowl. Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in the same saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan. Stir the mixture constantly over the medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula (170°F on an instant-read thermometer). Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the chocolate mixture until smooth, then stir in the Amaretto. Stir until cool over an ice bath. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator (at least two hours or overnight), then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. About 5-10 minutes before the process is complete, add the toasted almonds. Lars’ Toffee 1 2/3 c raw almonds, (7.5 oz) 1 c unsalted butter 1 1/2 c sugar 3 Tbs. light corn syrup 3 Tbs. Water 12 oz. bittersweet chocolate Place almonds on a cookie sheet and toast in 350° oven for about 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes. Chop the almonds, and then sort out the larger pieces into a one-cup measuring cup. Save the finer pieces in two 1/3 cup measuring cups. Combine butter, sugar, corn syrup and water in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, to 300°F on candy thermometer. This may take up to one hour! (A teaspoonful of syrup will separate into brittle threads when dropped in cold water; the color of the mixture will be like peanut butter or caramel at this point.) Remove from heat, and stir in the cup of coarser almond pieces. Pour into a buttered 13x9x2" pan, spreading quickly and evenly"you can shake and tilt the pan to distribute the mixture. Cool the mixture, but not until brittle. Turn out onto waxed paper, and return to the pan with the waxed paper underneath. Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water; remove from heat. Spread half the melted chocolate over top of candy; sprinkle with 1/3 cup nuts; allow to cool for about 20 minutes, or until chocolate has set. Turn candy over and spread with remaining chocolate and sprinkle with remaining nuts. Let stand until set in refrigerator or freezer. Break into pieces. Makes l-1/2 pounds. Madeleine Turtles Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1 cup dark corn syrup (or ¾ cup light corn syrup and ¼ cup molasses) 1/2 cup butter 1 cup heavy cream, divided ~2 cups whole pecans (or 36 pecan halves) 3.2 oz paraffin wax (Parowax brand will work " use ~3/4 block) ~2 pounds bittersweet chocolate (have an extra pound on hand in case you run out) Directions: Dissolve 1 cup sugar, 1 cup dark corn syrup, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/2 cup cream in a large heavy saucepan, stirring until the mixture boils. [Note: you will need a very large pan because mixture will bubble up when it boils and increase three-fold in volume.] Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, to the firm-ball stage, 244°. Remove from heat and add very gradually the remaining half cup of cream. Return to heat and cook to the firm-ball stage, 244°. Place Madeleine mold in freezer for at least 5 minutes. Silicone molds work best. If you are using a metal mold, it should be buttered very lightly with all excess butter wiped out. Remove the necks of the pecans so that the bottoms are flat and toast the pecan halves at 325° for 10 minutes, stirring at least once and allow to cool. This could be done way ahead of time. Melt the wax in the top of a double boiler and add the chocolate, broken into small pieces. Take the mold from the freezer and spoon chocolate into the molds, filling about 1/4 to 1/3 full. With the back of the spoon, push some chocolate up against the sides of the molds so that all of the bottom of the mold is covered. If there is too much chocolate at the bottom of the mold, spoon some of it out and return it to the pan of tempered chocolate. Scrape the top of the mold with a putty knife or metal spatula so that there is a clean edge around each mold. Return the mold to the freezer for five more minutes. Have the caramel mixture warm but not hot " approximately 120° - enough to able to work with. Take the mold from the freezer and spoon about one teaspoon of caramel mixture into each cavity. Place two pecan halves, upside down into the caramel and push down so that they can be covered with caramel. Use the back of a spoon to spread the caramel over the pecans, making sure to leave 1/8" or so space from the top of the mold. Do not push caramel all the way to the corners, if possible. Return the mold to the freezer for 5 minutes. Make sure the chocolate is still warm, and remove the mold from the freezer. Spoon melted chocolate mixture into the molds and spread to all corners. The chocolate can go slightly above the mold. Drag the putty knife or metal spatula across the top of the mold to clear off excess chocolate, especially at the edge of the mold. This should be done before the chocolate cools. Return the excess chocolate to the tempered chocolate. Chill the mold for 10 minutes or more in the freezer and then remove the candy from the mold. Wrap candy pieces in plastic wrap and store in an air-tight container (or baggy) in the refrigerator or freezer. To use the mold again, make sure that excess chocolate has been removed from the inside. Do not wash the mold " wipe clean only. If using a metal mold, it will have to be buttered again. If the caramel is too cold, place it in a 200° oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until usable. *Note: You do not have to melt all the chocolate and wax together at the same time, but you will need to keep the proportions of 1:10 wax to chocolate.

Microwave on high for 1 minute; then stir mixture well. If chips are not totally melted return to microwave and run on high for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir well. Put the peanut butter in the chocolate mix and stir well. Add box of powdered sugar and mix thoroughly. It gets tougher to stir once you have added powdered sugar so need some muscle. When thoroughly mixed, spray a 9 x 13 pan with Pam (or equivalent) or you can butter the pan well. Put fudge in the pan and spread out evenly. Place in refrigerator overnight. When ready to cut fudge into squares, remove from refrigerator for 30 minutes or so before cutting.

RE: Cookalong #34 ----- CHOCOLATE clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Wed, Sep 8, 10 at 10:41 I made the raspberry love muffins for my love and he loved them, lol! If you make these, here's a couple of tips. Like Terri says, they are basically a "scone muffin" so the batter will be very stiff. Use well softened butter. Mine was soft, but still cold and I had a heck of a time incorporating the wet and dry ingredients. I ended up adding some more milk so that I could stir in the raspberries. The muffins were still good but more doughey than they should have been. I used 2/3 cup sugar and half whole wheat pastry flour and they were still good, so that's a way to shave some of the richness. I prefer my baked goods less sweet than most people do, so I routinely add whole wheat flour and shave the sugar or use two egg whites in place of a whole egg, and use lowfat milk or soy milk. Also, having made the muffins with both dark and white chocolate, while I like both, I think the white chocolate is the best. Sorry no pics. I have misplaced the memory card for my camera.

Chocolate Truffles Ina Garten 1/2 pound good bittersweet chocolate such as Lindt 1/2 pound good semisweet chocolate such as Ghiradelli 1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, optional 1 tablespoon prepared coffee 1/2 teaspoon good vanilla extract Confectioners' sugar Cocoa powder Chop the chocolates finely with a sharp knife. Place them in a heat-proof mixing bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just boils. Turn off the heat and allow the cream to sit for 20 seconds. Pour the cream through a fine-meshed sieve into the bowl with chocolate. With a wire whisk, slowly stir the cream and chocolates together until the chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in the Grand Marnier, if using, coffee, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. With 2 teaspoons, spoon round balls of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm. Roll each dollop of chocolate in your hands to roughly make a round ball. Roll in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, or both. These will keep refrigerated for weeks, but serve at room temperature. I love chocolate lace cookies MILK CHOCOLATE FLORENTINE LACE COOKIES COOKIES: 2/3 c. butter 2 c. quick oats, uncooked 1 c. sugar 2/3 c. flour 1/4 c. corn syrup 1/4 c. milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract salt FILLING: (2 c.) milk chocolate morsels Cookies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in saucepan. Remove from heat; stir in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and salt; mix well. Drop by level teaspoonfuls, 3 inches apart onto foil-lined cookie sheets. Spread thin with rubber spatula. Bake 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool. Peel foil away from cookies. Filling: Melt over hot (not boiling) water, milk, and chocolate morsels; stir until smooth. Spread chocolate on the flat side of each half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies. My notes Do not go larger than a teaspoon. Only place 6 on a large cookie sheet and stagger them, they will run together if too close or too large. I put then in the fridge for about 30 minutes to get the chocolate to set before placing them in the cookie tin. I also sprayed the foil with Pam since another version mentioned greasing the tin foil. I lifted the foil onto racks to cool as well.

And must admit, I'm kind of surprised that there aren't a whole lot more chocolate recipes here. Just wanted to throw in my contribution if it's not too late: Chocolate Raspberry Cake* Ingredients 6 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet chocolate 6 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate 7 eggs, separated 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup butter 2 cups white sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 6 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 1 (4 ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed 3 tablespoons seedless raspberry preserves Directions Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line bottoms of two 9 inch cake pans with waxed paper. To Make Cake: Melt 6 ounces of semisweet chocolate and 6 ounces of unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler, or in a microwave. Cool, and beat in egg yolks. In a large bowl, beat butter or margarine, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add chocolate mixture, and continue beating until smooth. Stir in flour until just combined. In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar, and continue beating until the whites hold soft peaks. Fold whites into chocolate batter, in three additions. Pour batter into prepared pans, and smooth tops. Bake until a toothpick stuck into the centers of the cakes comes out with moist crumbs, about 45 minutes. Cool in pans. To Make Frosting: In a saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Chop 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, and stir into the cream. Remove saucepan from heat, and continue stirring until smooth. Pour frosting into bowl, and press sheet of plastic wrap directly against surface of chocolate to prevent formation of a skin. Refrigerate until thick enough to spread. To Make Filling: Drain the thawed raspberries, if necessary, and combine with the jam. Sandwich the cake layers with raspberry filling. Spread top and sides with chocolate frosting. *This cake is for serious chocolate lovers only!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Cake with Frozen Milk Frozen Milk: 3 1/2 cups whole milk 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Chocolate cake: 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons alkalized cocoa powder (preferably Valrhona), sifted 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 large eggs 1 cup whole milk 1/2 cup canola oil 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water Ganache: 1 pound milk chocolate (preferably Valrhona Jivara or Guittard) 1 1/2 cups heavy cream Dacquoise layer: 1/3 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 2 large egg whites, at room temperature 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped Peanut butter crunch: 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup Skippy creamy peanut butter 3 ounces milk chocolate (preferably Valrhona Jivara or Guittard) 1 cup Rice Krispies Make the Frozen Milk: Combine all ingredients except vanilla extract. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Transfer mixture to medium bowl and set bowl in large bowl filled one-third of way with ice water. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until chilled, about 20 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Process in ice cream machine according to manufacturers instructions. (Frozen Milk is best when served the same day.) Make chocolate cake: Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9" x 13" pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, mix together all wet ingredients except water; pour into dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. Add boiling water and stir to combine. Pour into prepared pan and bake until cake springs back when touched in middle, about 30-40 minutes. Cool cake in pan set on wire rack for 20 minutes. Invert cake onto rack and cool completely. Make ganache: Melt chocolate in microwave or double boiler. In small saucepan, bring cream to a gentle boil and gradually whisk into melted chocolate. Set aside.. Make dacquoise: Position rack in the center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Using 13" x 9" baking pan as a guide, trace a rectangle onto a piece of parchment paper. Turn paper over and place on a large baking sheet. Combine sliced almonds and confectioners' sugar in food processor and process until finely ground. Set aside. In bowl of electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip egg whites on medium speed to soft peaks, gradually adding granulated sugar while whipping. Once stiff and shiny, fold in almond flour mixture. Spread into 9" x 13" rectangle on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle top with chopped peanuts and bake until browned, 12-15 minutes. Set aside to cool on wire rack. Make peanut butter crunch: In medium bowl, combine butter, peanut butter and chocolate. Place bowl over saucepan filled one-third of way with simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in Rice Krispies. Spread chocolate mixture evenly over dacquoise. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut chocolate cake in half horizontally for form 2 layers. Spread one-third of ganache on top of bottom half. Remove dacquoise from freezer and peel off parchment paper. Place dacquoise, peanut butter crunch-side up, on top of ganache covered cake; gently press to remove any air pockets. Spread half of remaining ganache over peanut butter crunch. Place second half of cake on top. Refrigerate until ganache is set, about 1 hour. Using serrated knife, carefully trim off rough edges of cake. Rewarm remaining ganache over a pot of simmering water, and spread over top of cake. Serve a square of cake with a scoop of frozen milk. Recipe by Nancy Olson, Peacock Alley, Waldorf-Astoria, NYC from Chocolatier Magazine March 2006 Lots of steps but a to die for cake for sure. Still think we need another week for chocolate.... I KNOW there has to be more recipe out there for us chocolate lovers! Note: I used store bought ice cream so I can't vouch for the frozen milk.

The weather has finally gotten a bit chilly at night and last night it was also rainy. I usually have hot tea after work to relax and unwind but last night I had the urge for hot chocolate. I made my usual mix but replaced the semi-sweet chocolate with Lindt Excellence Chili Dark. This bar is infused with spicy red chili and made more for eating out of hand but what the heck, I decided to use it for this instead. I did adjust sugar amounts in my recipe since the bar has sugar. I am not a fan of lots of heat and hot spice as a rule, but this batch of hot chocolate was so good and warming that I am going to make sure to keep a bar or two of that chocolate on hand for the coming winter. I have to confess that I finished all of that hot chocolate by myself and skipped dinner! Good thing I live alone and didn't have to share.

Chocolate Chubby Cookies 6 (1 ounce) semisweet chocolate squares, chopped 2 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares, chopped 1/3 cup butter 3 large eggs 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy saucepan; cook, stirring often, over low heat until chocolate melts. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Beat eggs and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth; add chocolate mixture, beating well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to chocolate mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in chocolate morsels, pecans and walnuts. Drop batter by teaspoonsful* 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 325 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Cool cookies on baking sheet 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool. * I use a cookie scoop, no number on it, it holds about 3 tbsps. Makes nice BIG 'Chubby' cookies. Can you tell I'm a serious chocoholic?

Preheat oven to 350o F with rack in the middle. For the crust, stir together graham crackers, sugar and butter and press evenly onto bottom and sides of tart pan. Take time to build your crust walls, this will prevent them from crumbling when you remove the pan. Bake tart until firm, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack 15 to 20 minutes. For the filling, bring cream to a boil, then pour over chocolate in a bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Gently stir until smooth. Whisk together eggs, vanilla and salt in another bowl, then stir into melted chocolate. Pour filling into cooled crust. Bake until filling is set about 3 inches from edge but center is still wobbly, 20 to 25 minutes. (Center will continue to set as tart cools.) Cool completely in pan on rack, about 1 hour. To make the glaze, bring cream to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until smooth. Stir in corn syrup, then warm water. Pour glaze onto the middle of the tart, then tilt and rotate tart so glaze coats evenly (this was very easy because the glaze has nice consistency). Let stand until glaze is set, about 1 hour. Cook's Note: Tart is best the day it is made but can be made, without glaze, 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before glazing. These are a MUST HAVE on my holiday cookie trays too Chocolate Raspberry Sticks 2 squares unsweetened chocolate � cup butter softened � cup sugar 1 egg 2 cups cake flour 1 tsp vanilla � tsp salt 1 cup seedless raspberry jam 6 oz white chocolate (@1 cup white chocolate chips) Melt the unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler over hot water. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light. Add egg and melted chocolate and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well. Add cake flour, and salt until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Divide each part into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope 12 inches long on a lightly floured board. The rope should be about the thickness of a finger. Place each rope about 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. With the side if your finger (I use a chopstick) press a channel along the length of each rope. Bake 8 minutes until firm. Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler over hot water. Stir until very smooth. Stir the preserves until smooth. Place preserves in a pastry bag (or heavy plastic sandwich bag, snip off the corner) and run a bead of preserves down the channel of each chocolate rope. Return to the oven for 2 minutes. When you remove them from the oven, place them on a wire rack to cool. Put the melted white chocolate in a pastry bag (or heavy sandwich bag). Drizzle the ropes with the melted white chocolate. Cut strips into 1 inch lengths. Refrigerate until chocolate is set.

Plus, it's still just so hot, or actually so humid, I haven't been in the mood to bake much. But, I realized I have some chocolate pasta I never did anything with, so I'm going to try something out with it. I decided I'm going to make a desert type mac and cheese, using the chocolate pasta and marscapone or cream cheese. I figured I could make a ganache, or some sort of bechemel, add the marscaone and some sugar, and mix it with the cooked pasta. I'll fold in some raspberries and put it in a baking dish. Then I'll top it off with some kind of crumbly walnut type topping, and bake it a little, or at least run it under the broiler to brown the topping, maybe. That part I'm a little shaky on. Maybe I won't bake it. But I picture it all topped with some shaved chocolate. I've never used the pasta because it just seems like it would be so heavy of a desert. But this cookalong gives me a good excuse to use them. I'll report back on how it turns out. Sally RE: Cookalong #34 ----- CHOCOLATE clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by empress (My Page) on Sun, Sep 19, 10 at 15:24 Wow! I have gotten so many wonderful recipes from this forum over the years, I cannot believe I can contribute some that I know are wonderful that I have not seen here before. Here are three of my favorite chocolate recipes: Dessert Cheeseball Soften: 8 oz. of cream cheese 1/2 cup butter (1 stick). Mix together well with: 2 tablespoons of brown sugar 1/2 cup of powdered sugar Stir in: 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips After that is all mixed together, press firmly into a round bowl and chill completely - I recommend overnight. Remove from bowl, retaining shape as well as possible (maybe you should line the bowl with plastic wrap before pressing cheese mixture into it....). Ultimately, you want to shape this into a nice cheese ball and roll it into more mini chocolate chips. Place on center of serving dish and re-chill. Serve surrounded by graham crackers, vanilla wafers, chocolate wafers, apple wedges, or whatever sounds good to you. Enjoy! One-pan Chocolate Pudding Cake from Land O' Lakes Cake: 1 cup flour 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons cocoa 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup milk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon vanilla Topping: 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup cocoa 1 3/4 cups boiling water or coffee Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa, baking powder and salt. With a fork, mix in milk, oil and vanilla. Spread the batter evenly in a lightly buttered 9-inch square baking pan. Combine brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa; sprinkle over the batter. Slowly pour boiling hot water over the batter and brown sugar-cocoa mixture. Bake chocolate pudding cake for 40 minutes. Let chocolate pudding cake stand for 5 minutes. Spoon into dessert dishes or cut into squares. Top chocolate pudding cake with ice cream or whipped topping. This is a recipe I have served since the mid-70's, so I more than likely found it in a woman's magazine at that time. Brownie Mint Dessert 3 egg whites, room temperature 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup chocolate wafer cookie crumbs 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup whipping cream 2 Tbsp confectioner's sugar 1/4 cup soft peppermint stick candy, crushed chocolate curls grated chocolate Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until mixture is glossy. Fold in crumbs, chopped nuts, and vanilla. Spread mixture into a buttered 8-inch square baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool completely. Beat whipping cream until foamy; gradually add powdered sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Fold in peppermint; spread over chocolate layer. Garnish with chocolate curls and grated chocolate. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. Cut into squares to serve. Store in refrigerator. This recipe is rich, but light and cool, so we enjoy it in the summer. I have successfully made substitutions in this recipe, such as scraping the cream out of Oreo cookies to use when I couldn't find the plain dark chocolate cookie wafers. I have used commercial whipped topping when I didn't have cream handy. I have also used regular peppermint candy, but now when I find the softer, puffed, peppermint I stock up and store it in the freezer just for this dessert. Enjoy! And thanks again for all the wonderful recipes, information, and especially inspiration I've received here.

Rich Chocolate-Cherry Cookies Yields: About 3 dozen cookies Cook Time: 13 minutes per batch Total Time: 45 minutes plus cooling INGREDIENTS: 1 package (8 ounces) semisweet-chocolate squares, coarsely chopped 6 tablespoons margarine or butter, cut up 3/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 package (6 ounces) semisweet-chocolate chips (1 cup) 1 cup dried tart cherries DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In 3-quart saucepan, melt chocolate with margarine or butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat and, with wire whisk, stir in sugar and vanilla until blended. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time. With spoon, stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add chocolate chips and cherries, stir just until evenly mixed. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons, 1 1/2 inches apart, onto ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, until tops of cookies are set. Let cookies remain on cookie sheet on wire rack 1 minute to cool slightly. With wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough. Store cookies in tightly covered container up to 2 weeks. WORLD PEACE COOKIES Dorie Greenspan Servings: Makes about 36 cookies --These cookies, the brainchild of Parisian pastry chef Pierre Herm�, with whom Dorie Greenspan wrote "Desserts by Pierre Herm�," caused Greenspan's neighbor, Richard Gold, to say that a daily dose of these is all that is needed to ensure planetary peace and happiness. You can't eat just one. The salt is important to the taste; don't skimp on it. Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder baking soda 1 stick plus 3 Tbsps. (11 Tbsps. altogether) unsalted butter, at room temperature 2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/4 cup sugar fleur de sel or 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chips, or a generous 3/4 cup store- bought mini chocolate chips Sift flour, cocoa and baking soda together. Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat butter on medium speed until soft and creamy. Add both sugars, salt and vanilla extract and beat 2 minutes longer. Turn off mixer. Pour in dry ingredients; drape a kitchen towel over stand mixer to protect yourself and your kitchen from flying flour and pulse the mixer at low speed about 5 times, a second or two each time. Take a peek -- if there is still a lot of flour on the surface of the dough, pulse a couple more times; if not, remove the towel. Continuing at low speed, mix for about 30 seconds longer, just until the flour disappears into the dough -- for the best texture, work the dough as little as possible once the flour is added, and don't be concerned if the dough looks a little crumbly. Toss in the chocolate pieces and mix only enough to incorporate. Turn dough out onto a work surface, gather it together and divide it into half. Working with half at a time, shape dough into logs that are 11/2 inches in diameter. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 3 hours. (The dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. If you've frozen the dough, you needn't defrost it before baking -- just slice the logs into cookies and bake 1 minute longer.) When ready to bake, center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. Using a sharp, thin knife, slice logs into rounds that are 1/2 inch thick. (The rounds may crack as you're cutting them; don't be concerned, just squeeze the bits back onto each cookie.) Arrange rounds on baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between them. Bake cookies 1 sheet at a time for 12 minutes. They won't look done nor will they be firm, but that's just the way they should be. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack and let the cookies rest until they are just warm, at which point you can serve them, or wait until they are room temperature.

So good, so subtle, but so outstanding, too. I didn't have time to make that pasta yesterday, after all, but I'll try to get to it today, even if it's after the fact. I'll have to copy and paste this thread, too. There's so many recipes and so little time, and so much exercise to do to make up for it!

I'm drawing a name from those that posted on this thread.... Rosewitch, please post your choice here and I'll set up the new thread. Thanks. Thank You to all that posted all the chocolate recipes, I know I'll be referring to this thread over and over. Nancy RE: Cookalong #34 ----- CHOCOLATE clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by rosewitch (My Page) on Mon, Sep 20, 10 at 19:51 How about mustard? Both prepared from the jar and dry or mustard seed? I keep all of them but really can't say that I use them. Other than a chicken dish that calls for mustard and cream and topping a hot-dog, I never know what else to do with mustard. Yet on a recent trip to Lancaster, Pa, I came home with Horseradish mustard and Raspberry Honey mustard that have yet to be opened. I do keep Dijon and Colman's on hand but hardly use them. So I hope to get some great ideas and the nudge to open these jars.

I made the flourless cake that Gina posted. I saw Linda's too but only had eight eggs in the fridge. I added some rasberries and sauce for serving. This is a wonderful and VERY rich cake. A small slice will take care of your chocolate fix for sure! Image Hosting by Image Hosting by Beverly asked me for this recipe a couple of weeks ago. I'm posting it here and hope she finds it. I don't have her email addy....might post a new thread so she can see??? A friend brought this over for Labor Day Weekend. We took a quick pic on her phone so it's not the best but you get the idea. She got the recipe from Women's World but they don't have a web site. We found this one on google and it's the same that was in the magazine.

Za fil penasto umutite maslac sa šećerom u prahu i dodajte mleveni keks preliven mlakim mlekom u kome ste razmutili vanilin šećer. U masu dodajte propečene mlevene lešnike i nafilujte kore. Ostavite tortu u frižideru da se fil stegne, a naknadno prelijte glazurom koju ste napravili od čokolade rastopljene u slatkoj pavlaci. Laki deserti za sve ukuse Potrebno je: 6 belanaca, 1 prašak za pecivo, 100 ml mleka, 150 g mlevenih oraha, 150 g „plazme mlevene“, 280 g šećera, 200 g maslaca, 160 g brašna, 6 žumanaca, 240 g šećera u prahu, 100 g „bambi čokolade za kuvanje“ Priprema: Umutite belanca sa šećerom u čvrst šam, lagano ubacujte orahe, omekšali maslac, „plazmu mlevenu“, brašno pomešano s praškom za pecivo i mleko.

Voćni jogurt kolač Postupak pripreme: Za koru penasto umutiti jaja sa šećerom pa polako umešati brašno, kakao i pecivo. Ispeći tanku koru u velikom plehu na 150 stepeni oko 10-15 minuta. Hladnu koru podeliti na dva dela. Za fil umutiti jogurt sa šećerom u prahu, dodati keks izlomljen na parčiće i dodati voće isitnjeno, ostaviti mešavinu da odstoji oko 20 minuta. Na tacnu staviti koru, premazati polovinom fila, premazati slojem šlaga, zatim staviti drugu koru, preko preliti ostatak fila i na kaju premazati i ukrasiti šlagom. Sastojci: kora :5 jaja, 5 kašika šećera, 3 kašike brašna, 2 kašike kakao praha, 1/2 praška za pecivo fil :1 l jogurta, 700 gr drobljenog keksa, 250 gr šećera u pahu, 300 gr kupina (jagoda ili borovnica), šlag :2 kesice šlag kreme, Sladoled sa raznim voćem Ovaj sladoled se može praviti sa raznim voćem (čak i čokoladom, eurokremom i sl.). Sastojci za 5 porcija 2 kisele pavlake (mileram) svaka od 2 dcl znaci ukupno 4 dcl 150 g šećera (zavisi koje voće stavljate i koliko slatko volite tako da kol. šećera prilagodite svome ukusu) 250 g voća 2 kesice šlaga u prahu (tipa Dr. Oetker) Priprema Napraviti šlag po uputstvu na kesici, dodati šećer, voće ispasirati (može se dio i ostaviti nasjeckan), pomiješati, dodati 2 pavlake. Sladoled je gotov. Staviti ga u plastičnu činiju koja dobro zatvara i u zamrzivač. Pošto je pavlaka masna, sladoled se ne kristalizira kao onaj u kome ima vode, pa je i pored dužeg stajanja u zamrzivaču kremast. Može se jesti i kao krema prije nego sto se zaledi Kokice u ishrani Smatra se da zbog prekomernog soljenja hrane, poželjno je uvesti kokice u ishranu, jer imaju sposobnost upijanja zbog vlaknastog dela.Kokice su po ukusu neutralne, zato ih treba obogatiti vrlo malo posoliti, ali bolje začiniti po ukusu origanom, belim lukom, ruzmarinom, čili papričicom, to je već stvar ukusa.Aktivni sastojci su polifenol, koji štiti krvne sudove.Bogat je vlaknama jer nastaje iz celog zrna kukuruza, ne gubi nutritivnu vrednost, ne sadrži šećer, izvrsne su kao grickalice.Što se tiče kalorija siromašna je, ali se može povećati dodavanjem putera ili ulja.Ima sposobnost kao sundjerasta loptica, upija pivo, alkohol, penušavo piće zbog visokog sadržaja vlakna.Vrlo uspešno deluje na probavni sistem. Pečeni pileći bataci Sastojci: 7 pilećih bataka 2 kašike maslinovog ulja 2 čena belog luka, usitnjena ½ kašičice čilija u prahu 2 kašike aleve paprike 2 kašičice soli 1 kašičica mlevenog bibera prstohvat cimeta med Priprema: U činiji pomešajte sve začine osim meda. Uvaljajte batake u mešavinu začina i prebacite ih u frižider na 2 sata, a najbolje preko noći. Zagrejte malo maslinovog ulja na jakoj temperaturi u tiganju. Dodajte batake i pržite ih 3 minuta, uz stalno okretanje. Sačuvajte preostalu mešavinu začina. Smanjite temperaturu na srednje i nastavite da pržite još 3 minuta. Izvadite batake iz tiganja. U začine dodajte kašiku-dve meda, pa batake obložite tom smesom i prebacite ih u pleh. Pecite u zagrejanoj rerni na 220°C oko 20 minuta ili dok kožica ne bude pečena (često okrećite batake).
