Layered dessert recipes like this are loaded with memories for me: happy celebrations in church basements honoring soon-to-be brides and new babies.

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

FOR THE SALTED PECAN CRUST:
1 1/2 c. All-purpose Flour
1/2 c. Packed Brown Sugar
3/4 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/3 c. Finely Chopped Pecans
9 tbsp. Cold Unsalted Butter
FOR THE CREAM CHEESE LAYER:
12 oz. weight Cream Cheese, Softened
1 1/2 c. Powdered Sugar
12 oz. weight Cool Whip, Divided (1 1/2 Cups For Cream Cheese Layer, Remaining For Cool Whip Layer)
FOR THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING LAYER:
2 boxes (3.9 Oz. Size) Chocolate Fudge Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
4 c. Cold Whole Milk
FOR THE COOL WHIP LAYER:
Remaining Cool Whip From Cream Cheese Layer
2 oz. weight Shaved Dark Chocolate From A Bar

Steps:

  • For the salted pecan crust:Preheat oven to 325° F.In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and pecans. Cut in butter with a rigid pastry cutter or a fork until crumbly. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until crust is set and slightly browned. It should smell nice and toasty, buttery and nutty. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.For the cream cheese layer:With a blender, whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until completely smooth. With a rubber spatula, fold in 1-1/2 cups of Cool Whip from the 12-ounce container until combined. Spread mixture onto cooled crust. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.For the chocolate pudding layer:In a medium bowl, whisk pudding with milk for 2 minutes. Pudding will become more and more thick as you whisk. Spread pudding evenly over cream cheese layer.For the Cool Whip layer:Evenly spread remaining Cool Whip from the 12-ounce container over chocolate pudding layer. Sprinkle with shaved chocolate. (I use a vegetable peeler, running it down the sides of a chocolate bar.) Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight before serving.This dessert can easily be made the day prior to serving. I actually prefer the overnight refrigeration, as it allows the dessert to chill thoroughly and firm up. Always serve this dessert chilled.

MEGA MAGICAL 7 LAYER CHOCOLATE CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield One 8-inch round cake

Number Of Ingredients 35

Unsalted butter, for greasing
3 cups (600 grams) granulated sugar
1 2/3 cups (320 grams) canola oil
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup (180 grams) buttermilk, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups (450 grams) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (65 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (170 grams) brewed coffee
3/4 cup (170 grams) warm water
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup hot fudge topping, such as Hershey's
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons meringue powder
7 tablespoons water
8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Cornstarch, for dusting
Chocolate fondant
Piping gel
Chocolate sprinkles
Crunchy hazelnut truffles, such as Ferrero Rocher

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 8-inch-round cake pans with butter and line with parchment paper.
  • Place the sugar and oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium speed until combined. Add the eggs, one by one, until completely incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and buttermilk and continue mixing until combined.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Mix together the coffee and warm water. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the coffee mixture into the bowl of the stand mixer, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until you don't see any lumps and a thin batter has formed.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and set on the wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • For the dark chocolate mousse: Place the dark chocolate in a large bowl and set aside. Pour 1 cup of the heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate, cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let sit for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the towel and slowly whisk the ganache until it's smooth and shiny. Set aside to cool to about room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, whip the remaining cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or by hand. Using a rubber spatula, fold one-fourth of the whipped cream into the cooled ganache to lighten the consistency, then fold that mixture into the remaining whipped cream until almost completely combined with just a few streaks. Add the vanilla and salt and gently fold until combined into a light, fluffy mousse.
  • For the chocolate fudge buttercream frosting: Place the sugar, hot fudge, cocoa powder, butter, milk, vanilla extract and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on low speed to combine. When the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium and beat until the buttercream is smooth and satiny, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • For the chocolate royal icing: Place the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, meringue powder and water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on low speed to combine. Increase the speed to medium-high and whip until the icing holds stiff peaks, 5 to 8 minutes. If it seems too soft, add more confectioners' sugar in 1 tablespoon increments. If it is too stiff, add a bit more water, drop by drop. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip.
  • For the white chocolate ganache: Place the white chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside. Pour the cream into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate, cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let sit for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the towel and slowly whisk the ganache until it's smooth and shiny. Set aside to cool to about room temperature, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip.
  • To assemble, level the tops of the cakes with a serrated knife or cake leveler. Spread half of the mousse over the top of one cake layer. Stack the second layer and repeat. Add the third cake layer and frost the top and sides with a thin coat of the buttercream. Refrigerate until the frosting is firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • When the cake is ready, frost the top and sides with a thicker layer of the buttercream and refrigerate again until very firm, about 1 hour.
  • When the cake is almost ready, lightly dust your work area with cornstarch and roll the fondant into a circle about 20-inches wide and 1/8-inch thick. Drape the rolled fondant over the cake and, using a fondant smoother or your hands, lightly press and smooth it onto the cake, working your way from the top down the sides. Pop any air bubbles with a cake tester or toothpick and continue to smooth the surface.
  • Trim any excess fondant from the base of the cake with a pizza cutter. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom half of the cake with the piping gel, then cover it with chocolate sprinkles.
  • Pipe a scalloped border around the edge with the chocolate royal icing. Pipe little rosettes of the white chocolate ganache around the cake and press 1 hazelnut truffle onto each. Continue to pipe and decorate with the royal icing, white chocolate ganache and hazelnut truffles to your liking.

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tub Cool Whip (large)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start, ensure all your ingredients and tools are ready. This will make the process smoother and more efficient.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder for the richest flavor. Fresh dairy products and eggs will also contribute to a better taste.
  • Temper the Chocolate: Tempering the chocolate ensures it has a smooth, glossy texture and snap. Follow the recipe's instructions carefully for the best results.
  • Chill Thoroughly: Each layer of the dessert needs to be chilled thoroughly before adding the next one. This prevents the layers from mixing and ensures a clean, distinct presentation.
  • Use a Springform Pan: A springform pan makes it easy to remove the dessert from the pan without damaging it. If you don't have one, you can use a regular cake pan, but you'll need to carefully cut around the edges to release the dessert.
