Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 2/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (16 ounces), divided
1 cup (2 sticks) salted margarine, divided
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder
5 large eggs
1 cup sugar
Spiked Blackberry Coulis
Fresh mint sprigs
Fresh blackberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush 9-inch-diameter springform pan with margarine; line bottom with parchment. Stir 1 2/3 cups chocolate chips and 3/4 cup margarine in medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Whisk in cocoa and espresso. Cool 10 minutes.
  • Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in large bowl on high speed until thick, about 6 minutes. Fold in chocolate mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Using spatula, press raised edges so top is level. Cut around pan sides; remove sides. Place plate atop torte and invert onto plate. Remove pan bottom; peel off paper, and cool torte completely.
  • Stir remaining 1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate and 1/4 cup margarine in small saucepan over low heat until smooth (do not overheat). Whisk in 2 tablespoons blackberry coulis. Cool glaze 15 minutes. Pour glaze into center of torte. Smooth top with spatula, allowing some of glaze to drip down sides. Refrigerate uncovered until glaze is set, about 1 hour. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1-pound bag frozen unsweetened blackberries, thawed
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons semidry white wine (such as Chenin Blanc)
6 tablespoons (about) sugar, divided
3 whole cloves
2 Turkish bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon brandy

Steps:

  • Place berries, wine and 4 tablespoons sugar in blender; puree. Pour into medium saucepan. Add cloves, bay leaves, and allspice. Bring to simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 8 minutes.
  • Strain into medium bowl. Discard solids in strainer. Whisk in brandy; sweeten with remaining sugar, if desired. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewhisk before using.)

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful blackberries: The sweetness and tartness of the blackberries will come through in the coulis, so it's important to use the best berries you can find.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will add a rich, complex flavor to the coulis. Look for a vinegar that is at least 10 years old.
  • Don't overcook the blackberries: Overcooked blackberries will lose their flavor and become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and have released their juices.
  • Strain the coulis before serving: Straining the coulis will remove any seeds or skins from the berries. This will give you a smooth, velvety coulis.
  • Serve the coulis immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use: The coulis can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat it over low heat until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Spiked blackberry coulis is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or pork. With its sweet, tart, and slightly boozy flavor, spiked blackberry coulis is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
