Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 oz freeze dried raspberry ((28 g))
6 oz white chocolate melting wafers ((170 g))
3 oz heavy cream ((85 g))
8 oz dark chocolate melting wafers ((227 g))
Extra freeze dried raspberry

Steps:

  • Add freeze dried raspberry to a food processor and grind into a fine powder. Let the raspberry powder settle before opening the food processor and transferring it to a bowl with the white chocolate melting wafers.
  • Heat cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat until simmering but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and raspberry powder. Let sit for a few minutes, then stir with a spatula in even round stroke until the chocolate completely dissolves and the raspberry powder is completely incorporated.
  • Refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour to let the truffle filling harden but still workable. Use a small ice cream scoop to portion the truffle filling into 13 pieces.
  • Roll each portion into a ball, place them on a parchment line baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a simmering pot of water, stirring with a spatula. When almost all of the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat and continue to stir until it melts completely and smooth.
  • Dip the bottom of a truffle into the melted chocolate and place it on the tip of a fork. Use a spoon to drizzle melted chocolate over the top to cover it completely.
  • Allow the excess to drip off before placing it back on the parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the truffles. Drizzle excess melted chocolate over the top of the truffles and sprinkle some crushed freeze dried raspberry for decoration.
  • Place the baking sheet back into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the chocolate to harden completely.

CHOCOLATE MOLTEN CAKES WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE AND CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



Chocolate Molten Cakes with Raspberry Sauce and Chocolate Truffles image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 5h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (not unsweetened)
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Raspberry Sauce, recipe follows
Vanilla Sweet Cream, recipe follows
Chocolate Truffles, recipe follows
2 cups fresh raspberries (about 1/2 pound) or 1 3/4 cups frozen, thawed
1/2 to 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream, cold
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream
2 1/2 cups finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
2 cups cocoa powder
1 cups walnuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Butter six 3/4-cup souffle dishes or custard cups.
  • Stir the butter and chocolate in a heavy, medium saucepan over low heat until melted. Cool slightly.
  • Whisk the eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl to blend. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, and then the melted chocolate and the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared dishes, dividing equally. Bake the cakes until the sides are set but the center remains soft and runny, about 11 minutes (or up to 14 minutes for batter that was refrigerated).
  • Run a small knife around the cakes to loosen. Immediately turn the cakes out onto plates. Spoon Raspberry Sauce around the cakes. Top with Vanilla Sweet Cream and Chocolate Truffles.
  • Cook the raspberries, confectioners' sugar and lemon juice over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain through a fine sieve to remove any seeds and chill.
  • In chilled bowl, whisk the cream until it begins to foam and thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk just until soft peaks form.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan until bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan. Make sure that you have chopped the chocolate as finely as possible to allow it to melt quickly and easily. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium-size mixing bowl. Make a ganache by pouring about half of the hot cream over the chocolate and letting it sit for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Then slowly whisk until smooth and homogenous. Do not add all of the hot cream to the cold chocolate at once; the shock of the temperature extremes would cause the fat in the chocolate to separate.
  • Pour the ganache onto a plastic wrap-covered baking sheet and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and allow it to cool for at least 4 hours at room temperature.
  • When the ganache has cooled to the consistency of a thick paste, scrape it into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe 1-inch-diameter mounds spaced 1-inch apart on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. To pipe the mounds, hold the pastry bag at a slight angle and allow the tip to touch the parchment as you begin to pipe. Once you have formed the mound, stop squeezing and lift the tip straight up, leaving a small tail on the top of each mound. You can also use a spoon and drop small mounds of ganache onto the baking sheet. Let the truffles harden in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, until they are hard enough to roll with your hands.
  • To roll the mound into a ball, place a truffle between both palms, squeeze slightly and roll between your hands. The truffles will look nicer if they are as round as possible.
  • When all the truffles are rolled into balls, they are ready to be coated. If they have become too soft, place them in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours until they are firm enough to coat. Roll in cocoa powder or chopped walnuts, one at a time.

Categories     Cake     Coffee     Chocolate     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Raspberry     Fall     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

For cake
10 1/2 ounces Valrhona* or Lindt bittersweet chocolate
1 1/4 sticks (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
5 large eggs
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For ganache
6 1/2 ounces Valrhona* or Lindt bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup brewed espresso
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened well
1 tablespoon triple sec or other orange-flavored liqueur
3 half-pints fresh raspberries
*available at some specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter a 10-inch springform pan.
  • Chop chocolate and cut butter into pieces. In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate and butter with sugar, stirring until smooth (sugar will not be dissolved). Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and cool mixture to room temperature. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
  • Separate eggs, putting yolks in a small bowl and whites in a large bowl. Add yolks 1 at a time to chocolate mixture, whisking well after each addition. With an electric mixer beat whites until they just hold soft peaks. Sift flour over chocolate mixture and with a whisk fold flour and half of whites into mixture gently but thoroughly. With a rubber spatula fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
  • Pour batter into pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out with moist crumbs adhering. Cool cake completely in pan on a rack. Cake may be made up to this point 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Make ganache:
  • Chop chocolate and in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat. While chocolate is melting, in a small saucepan bring cream just to a simmer and add espresso. Add cream mixture to chocolate with butter and liqueur and stir until smooth.
  • Assemble cake:
  • Remove side of pan and cut cake into 8 wedges. Invert wedges (so that top sides will be flat) onto a large rack set over a large shallow baking pan, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Pour enough warm ganache evenly over wedges to coat them and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Scrape excess ganache from baking pan into bowl of ganache and pour ganache over wedges again, making sure they are coated completely. (Remaining ganache may be chilled, covered, and reheated for using as a chocolate sauce.) Let wedges stand at room temperature until ganache is set, at least 1 hour, and up to 6.
  • Just before serving, pick over raspberries and cover top of each wedge with raspberries.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MOUSSE TRUFFLE CAKE, RASPBERRY-CASSIS SAUCE



Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Truffle Cake, Raspberry-Cassis Sauce image

This recipe is the winner, hands down! Just in case you want to know what it is that I'm saying -- this is the dessert that my friend Judy chose for her very elegant dinner party. This is not easy at all! It's very involved but it is so worth it! I can't begin to tell you; takes 3 hours plus baking, cooling and chilling times. Allow the truffle cake to chill overnight before serving. I am posting this for safe keeping. Can be made up to four days ahead of time.

  • Brush a third layer cake with remaining syrup and press it gently on top of the mousse.
  • Wrap the bowl in plastic-wrap and chill the truffle cake overnight.(Reserve the leftover cake layer for another use. It may be frozen for up to 1 month.).
  • MAKE THE RAPBERRY-CASSIS SAUCE:.
  • Combine frozen raspberries, red currant jelly and sugar in noncorrosive medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved and the berries are soft. Do not let mixture boil.
  • Strain raspberry mixture a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Discard seeds. Pour raspberry pureé back into noncorrosive medium saucepan.
  • Put arrowroot in small cup. Slowly stir in water until mixture is smooth. Stir arrowroot paste into raspberry mixture.
  • Cook raspberry mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a gentle boil. Continue to boil for 30-60 seconds or until sauce is translucent.
  • Do not boil more than 1 minute or the sauce will become watery. Remove pan from heat. Cool sauce to room temperature and stir in Crème de Cassis, to taste. Transfer sauce to a bowl; cover and refrigerate.

Categories     Candy

Time 5h10m

Yield 40 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup heavy cream
12 ounces best-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter, cut into bits and softened
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
2 tablespoons Chambord raspberry liquor (raspberry liqueur)
1/2 cup sifted unsweetened cocoa

Steps:

  • In a saucepan bring to the cream just to a boil over moderate heat and remove from heat.
  • Add chocolate, stirring, until smooth.
  • Let cool slightly and add butter, bit by bit, stirring until smooth.
  • Stir in jam, Chambord and a pinch of salt and transfer to a bowl.
  • Chill, covered, for 4 hours, or until firm.
  • Form mixture by heaping teaspoons into balls and roll in cocoa powder.
  • Chill on a baking sheet lined with wax paper for 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Keep in an airtight container, chilled, for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream. Overbeaten cream will be grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture.
  • Chill the pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the pie chilled. This will help the chocolate truffle filling to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This chocolate truffle pie with raspberry sauce is a rich and decadent dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. The creamy chocolate truffle filling is perfectly complemented by the tart raspberry sauce. The pie is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts.
