Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

cakes
3 cups hazelnuts, toasted, husked, coarsely chopped
12 ounces diced Calimyrna figs
8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup minced crystallized ginger
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
5 large eggs
2 cups (or more) Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
sauce
12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup Frangelico
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • For cakes:
  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter and flour 12 miniature Bundt molds or 12 oversize muffin cups (each about 1-cup capacity). Toss nuts, figs, chocolate and ginger in medium bowl to blend.
  • Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1/4 cup Frangelico and orange peel (mixture may look curdled). Sift both flours and salt over batter; mix in. Stir in nut and fruit mixture.
  • Divide batter among molds. Bake cakes until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 45 minutes (about 55 minutes if using muffin cups). Turn cakes out onto racks; brush with 1/4 cup liqueur. Cool cakes completely.
  • Cut out twelve 10-inch cheesecloth squares. Pour 1 1/2 cups liqueur into small bowl. Dip 1 square into liqueur; squeeze out some but not all liqueur. Wrap 1 cake in liqueur-soaked cheesecloth, then in foil. Repeat dipping and wrapping with remaining cakes, adding more liqueur if needed. Chill at least 1 week and up to 2 weeks. Bring cakes to room temperature before serving.
  • For sauce:
  • Stir chocolate, 2/3 cup cream and liqueur in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until chocolate melts and sauce is smooth.
  • Arrange 1 cake on each plate. Drizzle with sauce. Pipe or spoon whipped cream alongside, if desired, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose a flavorful liqueur. Frangelico is a hazelnut-flavored liqueur that pairs well with vanilla ice cream. However, you can use any liqueur you like. Some other popular options include Kahlua, Baileys Irish Cream, and Grand Marnier.
  • Use high-quality ice cream. The quality of your ice cream will make a big difference in the flavor of your float. Look for a premium ice cream that is made with real cream and milk.
  • Add a garnish. A garnish can help to make your float look more festive. Some popular options include whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and toasted nuts.

Conclusion:

A Frangelico float is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a refreshing and flavorful treat that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give a Frangelico float a try.
