Categories     dessert

Time 2h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces good-quality white chocolate, chopped
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
White chocolate curls, for garnish

Steps:

  • Line 8 muffin cups with paper liners. Melt the white chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Spoon 1 tablespoon melted chocolate into each paper liner. Using a pastry brush, coat the chocolate evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the liners. Freeze until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes. Remelt the white chocolate in the bowl. Spoon 1 tablespoon into each cup and brush over the bottom and up the sides, forming a second coat. Freeze until completely set, about 1 hour.
  • Melt the bittersweet chocolate in top of a clean double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. At this point, set aside to cool completely.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cream and sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the mascarpone cheese, melted bittersweet chocolate, orange peel, and vanilla in a large bowl just until smooth and glossy, about 30 seconds (do not overmix). Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 2 batches. Transfer the mousse to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the mousse into the white chocolate cups. Sprinkle the white chocolate curls over the mousse and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate overnight, and then let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/4 cups (about 18 ounces) dark cocoa candy melting wafers
2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
1/2 cup (about 3 ounces) white candy melting wafers
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
8 ounces mascarpone
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

Steps:

  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put 2 1/4 cups of the dark cocoa melting wafers and 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted, about 1 minute. Stir until smooth; if any lumps remain, microwave again for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the melted wafers into a paper liner and use a small pastry brush to brush the chocolate up the sides to the top of the paper. Make sure the paper is completely covered; if you can see paper through the coating it is too thin and needs to be spread more. Repeat with the remaining cupcake liners, reheating the melting wafers as necessary. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • Put the remaining 1 cup dark cocoa melting wafers and 2 teaspoons of the coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted, about 1 minute total. Stir until smooth. If there are any lumps, microwave again for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.
  • Put the white melting wafers and remaining 2 teaspoons coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted, about 1 minute total. Stir until smooth. If there are any lumps, microwave again for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.
  • Pour the melted dark cocoa melting wafers onto the prepared baking sheet and spread with a small offset spatula until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Dollop the white melting wafers on top and use the spatula to swirl the white into the dark, creating a wave-like pattern. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • To make the filling, put the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Stir until smooth. If there are any lumps, microwave again for 15 seconds and stir until smooth. Allow to sit at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until just warm.
  • While the chocolate cools, remove the chocolate shells from the cupcake liners. Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble.
  • Stir the mascarpone and the slightly warm chocolate together in a medium bowl until no streaks remain. Combine the cream and the espresso powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed just until the cream holds firm peaks, about 3 minutes. Stir about 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream, folding just until combined.
  • Fill a large piping bag fitted with a large round tip with the mascarpone mixture. Pipe the mixture into each chocolate shell so that the filling comes above the edge of the cup. Break the chocolate bark into shards and stick a shard into the filling in each cup. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Reserve the extra bark for another use.

WHITE, MILK, AND DARK CHOCOLATE DESSERT CUPS



White, Milk, and Dark Chocolate Dessert Cups image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 1

2 pounds white, milk or semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate in individual bowls and place each one over simmering water (a little lower temperature for white chocolate) to melt. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator. To make the molds, place the cup in the center of a piece of cellophane and bring the cellophane up the walls of the glass. Fold it over the rim, stuffing the excess inside the glass. This will make loose pleats around the glass. Adjust the cellophane so the pleats are not too tight, otherwise the chocolate may break when you try to peel the cellophane from it. Make extra molds in case you have breakage.
  • Hold the rim of the cello wrapped glass and dip it in the melted chocolate as deep in as you want the chocolate cup to be. Remove it from the chocolate, turn it upside down, and place it on a sheet pan in the refrigerator. Allow to chill and harden for 1 hour or more.
  • Remove the glasses from the refrigerator one at a time. Use a sharp scissors to trim around cellophane just below the rim. Try to avoid touching the chocolate with your fingers, as it will melt instantly. Pull the cellophane towards and against the glass to support the chocolate while you remove it from the glass. Hold the cup at the base with your left hand (if your hands are warm hold the cup with a piece of waxed paper) and with your right hand pull the cellophane down and away from the chocolate and into the center of the cup. Snip off the excess cellophane.
  • Place the cup back in the refrigerator for now while you trim the rest of the cups. Once they're all trimmed, remove them one at a time. Keep in a covered container to avoid condensation until ready to use. Fill with mousse, pudding, fruit, ice cream, or any cold item you desire.

  • Fill a cup about a quarter of the way full of chocolate, then use a paintbrush to paint the chocolate up the sides of the cup to the top.
  • Try to create an even layer, and inspect the cups as you finish them to make sure there are no weak, streaky areas.
  • Allow the chocolate in the cups to solidify by placing all the cups on a baking sheet at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  • Once the chocolate has solidified, carefully peel each paper liner until all the cup comes out in one piece. Use your favorite fillings.
  • Enjoy!

MILK CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH DARK CHOCOLATE ICING



Milk Chocolate Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Icing image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Time 32m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
1 (18 1/4-ounce) box milk chocolate cake mix
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups chocolate milk
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup heavy cream
Small silver dragees, for decorating

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12 cup) cupcake tins with silver foil paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cake mix, oil, and chocolate milk. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl to be sure the batter is well incorporated.
  • In a microwave, melt 1/2 cup of the semisweet chocolate at 10 second intervals. Add 1 cup batter to the melted chocolate and stir well to combine. Place into a plastic releasable bag and cut off the corner. Take a small ice cream scoop and fill each cup with 1 scoop of cake batter, about one-quarter of the way up the cupcake paper. Pipe about 1 tablespoon batter with melted chocolate in each batter-filled cup. Top each with another scoop of the remaining cake batter.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
  • To make the icing, heat the cream in a saucepan over low heat to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining chocolate chips until completely combined. While still slightly warm, dip the tops of the cupcakes in the chocolate icing. Place on a wire cooling rack, sprinkle with dragees, and allow the icing to set.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE



Triple chocolate mousse image

A trio of milk, dark and white chocolate combined in a delectable mousse

Provided by Gary Rhodes

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

butter , for greasing
425ml double cream
75g each good-quality milk, white, plain chocolate , broken into pieces
6 eggs , separated into 2-egg batches
75g caster sugar
50g plain chocolate , melted
icing sugar , single cream, chocolate curls

Steps:

  • For a 1.2 litre terrine, cut a strip of greaseproof paper as long as the tin and wide enough to cover the bottom and come up both long sides, with about 7.5cm to spare. Put the paper in the tin as if to line it, then draw a line across the paper on both sides where it meets the bottom edge, and the top edge, of the tin. Take the paper out of the tin and draw two lines at equal intervals between the bottom and top edge lines you have already drawn. (This will help you make each layer exactly the same depth when filling the tin.) Lightly grease the paper and use to line the tin.
  • Whip a third of the cream to just soft peak stage, then chill. Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water or microwave on High for 2 mins. Whisk 2 egg yolks and 25g/1oz sugar in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water with a hand-held electric blender for about 2-3 mins until the mixture has at least doubled in volume. Once you have reached this stage, remove the bowl from the heat and keep whisking, adding the melted chocolate - this not only incorporates the chocolate, but also cools the mixture more quickly. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then carefully fold in the whipped cream.
  • Quickly whisk two egg whites into soft peaks, making sure the bowl and whisk are spotless to ensure the maximum volume is obtained. Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold the egg white into the chocolate mixture so you don't knock out too much air.
  • Pour mixture into the terrine, filling it to first mark (any extra can be frozen), then freeze for 20-30 mins before starting the white chocolate mixture. Repeat process with white chocolate, then the plain; cover with plastic film and freeze completely. To guarantee a good set, make terrine at least 8-10 hrs or up to 2 days before.
  • Dip the tin briefly in a large bowl of hot water. Put a chopping board or flat plate on top and invert the mousse. Gently remove the paper and open freeze for about 10 mins to re-set. To decorate, pipe an outline of melted plain chocolate in a teardrop shape onto each plate. Dust the plates lightly with icing sugar, then carefully fill the teardrop with cream. Slice the mousse, wiping the knife after each cut, and put a slice on each plate. Decorate with chocolate curls and serve at once.
