CHOCOLATE MALT SANDWICHES



Chocolate Malt Sandwiches image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h25m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for dusting (optional)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup malted milk powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
4 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons malted milk powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, malted milk powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. With a mixer on medium-high speed, add the vanilla and then the butter, a few pieces at a time, and mix until the dough looks like wet sand and holds together when pinched, about 5 minutes. Scrape the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and pat into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and refrigerate until the dough is slightly firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough between the parchment sheets to 1/4 inch thick. Peel off the top sheet and cut the dough into squares or rounds using 1 1/2-to-2-inch cookie cutters. Reroll the scraps and repeat. (Refrigerate the dough if it gets too soft.) Place the cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until the cookies are set and no longer shiny, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the filling: Combine the white chocolate, malted milk powder, salt and vanilla in a large bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat, then pour over the white chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Refrigerate until cold, about 25 minutes. Beat with a mixer until thick and spreadable, about 1 minute.
  • Spread about 2 teaspoons of the filling on the underside of half of the cookies, then sandwich with the remaining cookies. Dust with cocoa powder, if desired. Store in the refrigerator up to 5 days.

Pinch of coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

2 cups mini marshmallows
Special equipment:

3 8-inch cake pans with 1 1/2-inch sides
8-inch springform pan
Kitchen torch

Steps:

  • For chocolate-malt crumbs:
  • Mix Milk Crumbs and Ovaltine in small bowl. Place white chocolate in small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 15-second intervals just until melted, stirring occasionally. Drizzle chocolate over Milk Crumb mixture; toss to coat.
  • For malt-fudge sauce:
  • Place first 4 ingredients in medium bowl; set aside. Combine cream, corn syrup, and sugar in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour cream mixture over chocolate mixture in bowl. Let stand 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Whisk until sauce is glossy, about 1 minute. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cool completely. Cover and chill. Rewarm just until pourable before using.
  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat three 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray. Line bottom of each pan with parchment round; coat parchment with nonstick spray. Place chocolate in small microwave-safe bowl. Melt in microwave in 15-second intervals just until melted, stirring occasionally. Set aside. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and coarse salt into medium bowl. Combine butter, sugar, and corn syrup in large bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment; beat on medium-high speed until fluffy and pale, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add eggs; beat on low speed to incorporate, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add melted chocolate. Beat until blended, about 1 minute. Add buttermilk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium-high speed until pale brown, about 2 minutes. Add dry ingredients; beat on low speed just until blended, about 45 seconds. Divide batter among pans; smooth tops.
  • Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool completely in pans on racks.
  • Stir milk and Ovaltine in small bowl. Invert 1 cake from pan onto flat plate or tart pan bottom; peel off parchment. Place cake, top side down, in 8-inch springform pan. Brush cake with generous 2 1/2 tablespoons Ovaltine-milk mixture. Let Ovaltine-milk mixture soak into cake. Drizzle 1/3 cup malt-fudge sauce over cake; spread evenly over top. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chocolate-malt crumbs over sauce. Drizzle 1/3 cup malt-fudge sauce over crumbs. Scatter 1 cup mini marshmallows over. Using kitchen torch, toast marshmallows. Repeat with second cake layer, Ovaltine-milk mixture, malt-fudge sauce, chocolate-malt crumbs, malt-fudge sauce, and marshmallows. Remove third cake from pan; peel off parchment. Place cake, top side down, atop marshmallows on second cake layer. Brush with remaining Ovaltine-milk mixture (assembled cake will rise well above edge of pan). Cover cake with plastic wrap; chill overnight. Cover and chill fudge sauce.

Pour over top of cake, allowing sauce to drip over edges. Mound handful of marshmallows in center of cake. Using kitchen torch, toast marshmallows. Sprinkle remaining malt crumbs over cake. Let cake stand at room temperature 3 hours before serving.
  • Cut cake into wedges and serve.

CHOCOLATE & MALT LOAF TORTE



Chocolate & malt loaf torte image

Don't be deceived by how easy this is to make - the result is a rich, dense cake with a malted coating. Eat it warm as a pudding or serve it with afternoon tea

Provided by Tommy Banks

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

165g unsalted butter , softened, plus extra for the tin
75g malt loaf
150g blanched hazelnuts
300g dark chocolate
150g golden caster sugar
4 eggs , beaten
full-fat cream cheese
cream or crème fraîche, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 20cm non-stick, loose-bottomed cake tin. Blend the malt loaf and hazelnuts to a fine crumb in a food processor. Scatter the crumb into the buttered tin and shake it so all surfaces are evenly covered. Pour out the remaining crumbs and reserve.
  • Slowly melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. In a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on full speed for 5 mins until light and fluffy. Slowly add the eggs, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice to ensure the batter is well combined. Tip in the remaining hazelnut and malt loaf crumb and melted chocolate. Finally, add the cream cheese. Your mixture should be smooth and glossy, like a chocolate mousse. Using a rubber spatula, transfer to your cake tin and smooth out evenly.
  • Bake the cake for 35 mins and then turn the temperature down to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 for a final 20 mins. Allow the cake to rest and cool for an hour before attempting to remove the tin. This cake keeps well, so you can make it up to two days ahead. Carefully slice into wedges and serve with cream or crème fraîche.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • If you don't have chocolate malt powder, you can make your own by blending equal parts cocoa powder and malted milk powder.
  • Be sure to chill the malt ice cream base for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before churning. This will help it set properly.
  • If you don't have a ice cream maker, you can still make malt ice cream by freezing the ice cream base in a covered container. Stir it every 30 minutes or so to break up the ice crystals.
  • Serve the malt ice cream with chocolate chips, malt powder, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
