Coffee Almond Ice-Cream Cake with Dark Chocolate Sauce image

Categories     Cake     Milk/Cream     Chocolate     Dessert     Kid-Friendly     Almond     Amaretto     Gourmet     Small Plates

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups fine chocolate wafer crumbs (about 30 wafers)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 pints coffee ice cream, softened slightly
1 1/2 cups well-chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups crushed amaretti (Italian almond macaroons, available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets)
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
For the dark chocolate sauce:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3 to 4 tablespoons Amaretto, or to taste

Steps:

  • To make the cake:
  • In a bowl with a fork stir together the crumbs and the butter until the mixture is combined well, pat the mixture onto the bottom and 1 inch up the side of a lightly oiled 8-inch springform pan, 2 1/2 inches deep, and freeze the crust for 30 minutes, or until it is firm. Spread the ice cream evenly on the crust and return the pan to the freeze for 30 minutes, or until the ice cream is firm. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream with the vanilla until it holds stiff peaks, fold in the amaretti thoroughly, and spread the mixture over the ice cream. Smooth the top of the cake, sprinkle it with the almonds, and freeze the cake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the top is firm. Freeze the cake, covered with plastic wrap and foil, for at least 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, wrap a warm dampened kitchen towel around the side of the pan, remove the side, and transfer the cake to a serving plate. Cut the cake into wedges with a knife dipped in hot water and serve it with the chocolate sauce.
  • To make the sauce:
  • In a small heavy saucepan combine the cream and the brown sugar, bring the mixture to a boil over moderately high heat, whisking occasionally, and boil it, whisking, until the brown sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolates, whisking until they are melted. Whisk in the butter and the Amaretto, whisking until the sauce is smooth, and let the sauce cool slightly. The chocolate sauce may be made 1 week in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the chocolate sauce over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warm.

Categories     Mixer     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Freeze/Chill     Kid-Friendly     Chill     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes 12 profiteroles, serving 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the profiteroles
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 large eggs
coffee ice cream
confectioners' sugar for sprinkling the profiteroles if desired
For the chocolate sauce:
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons water
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Kahlûa or other coffee-flavored liqueur, or to taste

Steps:

  • Make the profiteroles:
  • Into a bowl sift together the flour and the cocoa powder. In a small heavy saucepan combine the butter, the water, the granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat to moderate, add the flour mixture, and cook the mixture, beating it with a wooden spoon, until it pulls away from the side of the pan, forming a ball. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and with an electric mixer at high speed beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoons onto a buttered baking sheet, forming 12 mounds, baking the profiteroles in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are puffed and crisp, and let them cool on a rack. The profiteroles may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container. Reheat the profiteroles on a baking sheet in a preheated 375°F. oven for 5 minutes, or until they are crisp, and let them cool on the rack.
  • Make the chocolate sauce:
  • In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water melt the chocolate with the water and the cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth, and stir in the kahlûa. The sauce may be made 1 week in advance, kept covered and chilled, and reheated. Makes about 1 cup.
  • With a serrated knife cut each profiterole in half crosswise, discard any uncooked dough from the centers, and sandwich a small scoop (about 1 1/2 inch in diameter) of the ice cream between the top and bottom of each profiterole. Sprinkle the profiteroles with the confectioners' sugar, pour about 1/4 cup of the sauce onto each of 4 dessert plates, and arrange 3 profiteroles on each plate.

Categories     Coffee     Milk/Cream     Chocolate     Dessert     Quick & Easy     Frozen Dessert     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Homemade Coffee-Flavored Liqueur or Kahlúa plus additional for passing
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 gallon purchased vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Combine chocolate, liqueur, and whipping cream in heavy small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until melted and smooth.
  • Scoop ice cream into dessert dishes or goblets. Spoon warm sauce over. Serve, passing additional liqueur.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of the sauce. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a rich, dark flavor.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become grainy. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hot, and stir it constantly while it's melting.
  • Use strong coffee: The coffee flavor should be strong enough to stand up to the chocolate. Use a dark roast coffee or espresso for the best results.
  • Add a little bit of salt: A pinch of salt can help to balance out the sweetness of the sauce and make the flavors pop.
  • Experiment with different flavors: You can add different flavors to the sauce to create a unique taste. Try adding a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder.

Conclusion:

Chocolate coffee sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of desserts and drinks. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give chocolate coffee sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
