Categories     dessert

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup sugar divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup dark rum
1 quart milk
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
12 large egg yolks
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 baskets fresh raspberries
Chocolate shavings for finish

Steps:

  • For the cake layers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and set rack at middle level. Butter a 9 or 10-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with a disk of parchment or waxed paper. Whisk yolks with half the sugar and vanilla until thick and light. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk whites with salt and continue whisking until they are white and opaque. Whip in remaining sugar in a stream. Continue whipping whites until they hold a firm peak. Fold yolks into whites then sift over and fold in flour and starch. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake about 30 minutes, until well risen and deep in golden color. Unmold to a rack to cool.
  • For the custard cream: Bring milk to a boil with half the sugar in a heavy, non-reactive pan. Whisk yolks with remaining sugar and sift over and whisk in flour. When milk boils, whisk a third into the yolk mixture. Return the remaining milk to a boil and whisk in yolk mixture, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Whisk constantly 30 seconds. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla. Scrape half the cream to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate to cool. Whisk chocolate into remaining cream and scrape into a bowl, cover and cool.
  • For syrup: In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Cool and stir in rum.
  • For whipped cream: Combine all ingredients and whip to a soft peak.
  • To assemble: Cut cake into thin, vertical slices. Place a layer of slices in the bottom of a glass serving bowl and moisten with syrup. Spread with half the vanilla cream and scatter with half the raspberries. Continue alternating layers to make 2 layers each, vanilla/raspberry, chocolate and whipped creams, ending with whipped cream. Sprinkle lightly with chocolate shavings and a few raspberries.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, more for greasing pan
3 ounces finely chopped unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons Cognac, rum or bourbon, optional
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch salt
1 3/4 cups whole milk
3 cups heavy cream
2 large egg yolks
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (2 cups)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for whipped cream
1 to 2 pints fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • To make brownies, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  • In a large saucepan, melt butter. Remove pan from heat and stir in chopped chocolate until fully melted. Stir in cocoa and sugar until combined. Slowly add eggs, whisking chocolate mixture constantly, then whisk in vanilla. Fold in flour and salt.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until just firm, about 25 minutes (do not overbake). Transfer pan to a rack to cool. If using spirits, prick holes in hot brownies and drizzle evenly over pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in 3/4 cup milk. In a large saucepan, bring remaining 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup cream to a boil over medium heat. Whisk hot milk mixture slowly into cocoa mixture. Return to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking gently, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. (A simmering bubble or two is O.K., but do not let it boil.)
  • In a medium heat-resistant bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking them constantly, very slowly dribble about half the cocoa-milk mixture into yolks until fully combined. Pour yolk mixture into saucepan with remaining cocoa-milk mixture, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking occasionally, over medium-low heat, until thickened, about 5 minutes. (Do not let mixture come to a simmer. If pan begins to steam thickly, remove from heat for a few moments and stir well before continuing.) Let cool slightly.
  • Melt 5 ounces chopped chocolate with butter. Stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Cool 5 minutes, then fold into thickened egg mixture. Place plastic wrap directly against pudding (to prevent a skin from forming), and chill until set, about 3 hours. (Pudding and brownies can be made up to 5 days ahead, and refrigerated.)
  • Just before assembling, in an electric mixer, beat remaining 2 1/2 cups cream with remaining 5 tablespoons cocoa powder and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until it forms soft peaks. Scrape down sides and fold in any excess cocoa or sugar.
  • Cut brownies into 1-inch squares. Fit a layer of brownie squares in bottom of a 4-quart trifle, glass, or other bowl. Top with half the pudding, a third of the whipped cream, a third of the remaining chopped chocolate and a third of the raspberries. Repeat layering until all ingredients have been used. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and chill for up to 24 hours before serving.

RASPBERRY PORTER TRIFLE WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE AND WHIPPED CREAM



Raspberry Porter Trifle with Chocolate Ganache and Whipped Cream image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (3-ounce) package raspberry gelatin
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup ice water
1/2 cup porter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, or vanilla extract, to taste (approximately 3 tablespoons)
1/4 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 (29 to 32-ounce) can fruit cocktail, drained
1 (12-ounce) pound cake, thawed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (recommended: Sara Lee)
2 bananas, sliced and tossed with lemon juice
4 ounces semisweet chocolate pieces or chocolate squares, finely chopped
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup heavy cream whipped until light and fluffy with an electric beater

Steps:

  • 4 (16-ounce) or larger wine glasses or snifters (note that the idea of a trifle is to see the layers)
  • Dissolve gelatin and sugar in boiling water. Add cold water and porter. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
  • Pour the milk and heavy cream into a heavy bottomed saucepot and scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the pot (or add vanilla extract). (If using a vanilla bean, put the vanilla pod in the pot as well.) Add half the sugar to the pot and bring to a simmer (just below a boil). In a small bowl whisk together the egg yolks and the rest of the sugar and temper it by adding a small amount of the heated milk mixture to the bowl while whisking constantly (known as a liaison). Now pour the liaison (egg mixture) into the milk pot, stirring constantly. You are only heating it. Do not boil. Do not cook. The idea of a liaison is to incorporate the eggs and avoid making them into scrambled eggs! You want the mixture to begin to thicken so it will coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then remove vanilla pod and discard, and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Spoon fruit cocktail into each glass as a base layer. Follow with a layer of cubed pound cake, then a layer of sliced bananas. Spoon about 1/3 cup gelatin/porter mixture on top of the fruit and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours until the gelatin is set.
  • A few minutes before serving, make the ganache, place the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Bring the cream to just under a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit for about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted and smooth. If the chocolate is not melting readily, nest the bowl in another bowl of very hot tap water.
  • Spoon creme anglaise over the chilled trifle and drizzle with ganache. Spoon whipped cream on top to finish.
  • Serve immediately.
