CHOCOLATE GRAHAM CRACKERS



Chocolate Graham Crackers image

Graham flour is a coarse-grained whole-wheat meal and can be found in specialty and health food stores. It makes a graham cracker with a lovely texture and subtle nutty flavor, but regular whole-wheat flour makes a decent substitute if you can't find it.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 2 to 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
24 tablespoons (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
2 cups whole-wheat graham flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the parchment and rolling pin
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the parchment and rolling pin
1 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the graham flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the molasses and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well combined. Divide the dough in 2, wrap each half in plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Chill until firm enough to roll, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • On a floured piece of parchment and using a floured rolling pin, roll one of the discs to an even 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Trim the edges and cut the dough into about twelve 2-inch-by-4-inch rectangles, but don't separate the cookies. Score each rectangle in half crosswise, but don't cut all the way through. Using a fork, make 3 indentations in each square. Transfer the parchment with the rolled dough to a baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  • Bake until the edges have darkened slightly and the dough is set and dry, 15 to 18 minutes. While the cookies are still warm, use a knife to cut them apart. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheet on a rack. Repeat with the remaining dough, rerolling the scraps once.

Tips:

  • To make the éclairs, you will need a piping bag fitted with a star tip. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, you can use either dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate. If you use dark chocolate, the ganache will be more intense in flavor. If you use semisweet chocolate, the ganache will be sweeter.
  • To make the graham cracker crumbs, you can use either a food processor or a rolling pin. If you use a food processor, be careful not to over-process the crumbs. The crumbs should be fine, but not powdery.
  • To assemble the éclairs, you will need to pipe the choux pastry onto a baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between the éclairs so that they don't touch each other while baking.
  • To bake the éclairs, you will need to preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the éclairs for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, you will need to heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the cream is simmering, remove it from the heat and add the chocolate. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • To assemble the éclairs, you will need to dip the top of each éclair into the chocolate ganache. Then, roll the éclairs in the graham cracker crumbs.
  • Conclusion:

    These graham cracker chocolate éclairs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a birthday party to a potluck dinner. With their sweet and chocolatey flavor, these éclairs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So, grab your ingredients and get started on these amazing graham cracker chocolate éclairs!
