Categories     dessert

Time 3h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large eggs, separated*
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons coffee liqueur
4 teaspoons Chili Oil, recipe follows
7 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
Spicy Whipped Cream, recipe follows
2 cups olive oil
4 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Cocoa powder
Ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of sugar, butter, 1/4 cup of water, coffee liqueur, and chili oil in a large metal bowl to blend. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water); whisk constantly until the mixture is very thick and frothy, about 3 minutes. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in another large bowl to soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, beating until stiff and glossy peaks form. Remove the chocolate from over the water. Fold 1/3 of the meringue into the warm chocolate mixture to lighten, then fold in the remaining meringue.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight. Spoon the mousse into 6-ounce bowls. Top with spicy whipped cream and serve.
  • Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Transfer the oil and pepper flakes to a 4-ounce bottle. Seal the lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month.
  • With an electric mixer, whip cream gradually adding the sugar until soft peaks form. Top with a dusting of cocoa powder and a pinch of cayenne. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Forget the faff of ice cream makers and custard - this fudgy chocolate ice cream not only tastes divine, it's easy to make at home too

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids), chopped into small pieces
500ml double cream
340g can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp organic cocoa powder, sifted
50g milk chocolate chips
sea salt flakes, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just-simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, or do this in the microwave in 20-second bursts until smooth and glossy. Leave to cool slightly. Pour the cream, condensed milk and vanilla into a second bowl and beat for 3 mins using an electric whisk until slightly thickened and the beaters leave a trail in the mixture when lifted across the bowl. Be careful not to overwhip, as you don't want the mixture to be too stiff - as soon as the beaters leave a trail, it's ready.
  • Gently fold the melted chocolate and cocoa powder into the cream mixture until thoroughly combined, ensuring the spatula is reaching the bottom of the bowl so all the chocolate gets mixed in. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful. Scrape the mixture into a 1-litre freezerproof container, then scatter over the reserved chocolate chips. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hrs until firm but scoopable. Will keep frozen for up to a month. To serve, scoop the ice cream into chilled bowls or ice cream cones and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt, if you like.

  • 3. Remove 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture and add it very slowly to the beaten egg while whisking vigorously. Repeat again with another half cup of milk mixture, then add this back to the saucepan. Over low heat cook until this reaches 180 degrees, stirring constantly, do not let come to a boil.
  • 4. Once 180 degrees is reached pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, Remove the vanilla bean pod and add back to the ice cream base. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool a room temperature for about an hour and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • 5. Put almonds on a baking sheet and place in a 350-degree oven for 7-10 minutes being careful not to burn. Move them around every few minutes. Set aside
  • 6. Remove vanilla bean pod and put chilled mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow manufactures directions to churn ice cream base. When Ice cream is almost done put in the almonds and mix just enough to incorporate them. Freeze ice cream for an hour then serve. I live to serve it with a dollop of whipped cream, sliced almonds and during the summer a drizzle of fresh raspberry sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the ice cream will be. Use a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate. When melting the chocolate, use a double boiler or microwave method on low power. Overheating the chocolate will cause it to seize and become grainy.
  • Use cold heavy cream. The heavy cream should be very cold when you whip it. This will help it to incorporate more air and make the ice cream lighter and creamier.
  • Churn the ice cream in an ice cream maker. This is the best way to get a smooth and creamy ice cream. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can also freeze the ice cream in a covered container and stir it every 30 minutes or so until it is firm.
  • Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. The ice cream will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Wicked Hot Chocolate Ice Cream is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking.
