CHOCOLATE MOLTEN CAKES WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE AND CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



Chocolate Molten Cakes with Raspberry Sauce and Chocolate Truffles image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 5h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (not unsweetened)
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Raspberry Sauce, recipe follows
Vanilla Sweet Cream, recipe follows
Chocolate Truffles, recipe follows
2 cups fresh raspberries (about 1/2 pound) or 1 3/4 cups frozen, thawed
1/2 to 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream, cold
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream
2 1/2 cups finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
2 cups cocoa powder
1 cups walnuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Butter six 3/4-cup souffle dishes or custard cups.
  • Stir the butter and chocolate in a heavy, medium saucepan over low heat until melted. Cool slightly.
  • Whisk the eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl to blend. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, and then the melted chocolate and the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared dishes, dividing equally. Bake the cakes until the sides are set but the center remains soft and runny, about 11 minutes (or up to 14 minutes for batter that was refrigerated).
  • Run a small knife around the cakes to loosen. Immediately turn the cakes out onto plates. Spoon Raspberry Sauce around the cakes. Top with Vanilla Sweet Cream and Chocolate Truffles.
  • Cook the raspberries, confectioners' sugar and lemon juice over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain through a fine sieve to remove any seeds and chill.
  • In chilled bowl, whisk the cream until it begins to foam and thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk just until soft peaks form.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan until bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan. Make sure that you have chopped the chocolate as finely as possible to allow it to melt quickly and easily. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium-size mixing bowl. Make a ganache by pouring about half of the hot cream over the chocolate and letting it sit for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Then slowly whisk until smooth and homogenous. Do not add all of the hot cream to the cold chocolate at once; the shock of the temperature extremes would cause the fat in the chocolate to separate.
  • Pour the ganache onto a plastic wrap-covered baking sheet and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and allow it to cool for at least 4 hours at room temperature.
  • When the ganache has cooled to the consistency of a thick paste, scrape it into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe 1-inch-diameter mounds spaced 1-inch apart on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. To pipe the mounds, hold the pastry bag at a slight angle and allow the tip to touch the parchment as you begin to pipe. Once you have formed the mound, stop squeezing and lift the tip straight up, leaving a small tail on the top of each mound. You can also use a spoon and drop small mounds of ganache onto the baking sheet. Let the truffles harden in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, until they are hard enough to roll with your hands.
  • To roll the mound into a ball, place a truffle between both palms, squeeze slightly and roll between your hands. The truffles will look nicer if they are as round as possible.
  • When all the truffles are rolled into balls, they are ready to be coated. If they have become too soft, place them in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours until they are firm enough to coat. Roll in cocoa powder or chopped walnuts, one at a time.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MOUSSE TRUFFLE CAKE, RASPBERRY-CASSIS SAUCE



Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Truffle Cake, Raspberry-Cassis Sauce image

This recipe is the winner, hands down! Just in case you want to know what it is that I'm saying -- this is the dessert that my friend Judy chose for her very elegant dinner party. This is not easy at all! It's very involved but it is so worth it! I can't begin to tell you; takes 3 hours plus baking, cooling and chilling times.

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
sifted unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
fresh raspberry, for garnish

Steps:

  • MAKE THE CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM CAKE:.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Lightly butter the bottom and sides of two 9x2" round cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. Dust the sides of the pans with flour and tap out the excess.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda and salt onto a piece of waxed paper.
  • Place chocolate in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium(50%power)1 minute. Stir. Microwave 1 minute more or until chocolate softens.
  • Stir until smooth. Let cool.
  • Beat butter and shortening in mixing bowl until creamy, using electric mixer at medium speed.
  • Add brown sugar.
  • Continuing to beat, gradually add granulated sugar over a 4 minute period.
  • Continue beating for another 1-2 minutes or until mixture is a light texture and off-white in color. Beat in vanilla.
  • Beat eggs with fork until frothy. At medium speed while continuing to beat, slowly add beaten eggs to batter.
  • Add sour cream aand beat until smooth. Beat in melted chocolate until blended. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl with rubber spatula.
  • At low speed, beat in flour mixture alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour, mixing until just blended. Mix batter for 10 more seconds.
  • Divide batter between prepared pans and smooth top.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes or until center springs back when gently pressed with a finger.
  • Cool in pans on wire racks for 5 minutes.
  • Run a thin-bladed knife around the edges of layers to loosen. Invert the cake layers onto wire racks.
  • Peel off the paper circles and leave them loosely attached to the bottom of the cake layers. Reinvert the layers onto other racks so that they are right side up.
  • Cool cake layers completely.
  • MAKE THE RASPBERRY SYRUP:.
  • Combine water and sugar in small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Raise heat to medium-high and bring syrup to boil. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the raspberry brandy and Grand Marnier.
  • Keep syrup covered until ready to assemble the cake.
  • MAKE THE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MOUSSE:.

  • Scald 3/4 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. While whisking constantly, temper egg yolk mixture into saucepan of hot cream.(To temper eggs; stir a little of the hot cream into eggs to warm "temper" them. The warmed eggs are then stirred into the remaining hot mixture. Tempering helps to prevent eggs from curdling).
  • Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken. (Do not allow the custard to overcook or the custard will be grainy.).
  • With the motor of the food processor running immediately pour the hot custard through the feed tube. Process for 15-25 seconds or until chocolate is completely melted.

  • ASSEMBLE THE TRUFFLE CAKE:.
  • Line the inside of 2 quart round glass bowl with plastic wrap. Remove paper circles from bottoms of cake layers. Using a long serrated knife, slice each cake layer in half horizantally.
  • Trim one cake layer into 6-1/4" circle. Generously brush with some of the raspberry soaking syrup. Place the cake circle into the bottom of the prepared bowl. Spoon slightly less than half of the chocolate raspberry mousse over the cake and spread it evenly with a spatula.

  • Brush a third layer cake with remaining syrup and press it gently on top of the mousse.

  • MAKE THE RAPBERRY-CASSIS SAUCE:.
  • Combine frozen raspberries, red currant jelly and sugar in noncorrosive medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved and the berries are soft. Do not let mixture boil.
  • Strain raspberry mixture a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Discard seeds. Pour raspberry pureé back into noncorrosive medium saucepan.
  • Put arrowroot in small cup. Slowly stir in water until mixture is smooth. Stir arrowroot paste into raspberry mixture.
  • Cook raspberry mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a gentle boil. Continue to boil for 30-60 seconds or until sauce is translucent.
  • Do not boil more than 1 minute or the sauce will become watery. Remove pan from heat. Cool sauce to room temperature and stir in Crème de Cassis, to taste. Transfer sauce to a bowl; cover and refrigerate.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE WITH RASPBERRIES

Categories     Cake     Coffee     Chocolate     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Raspberry     Fall     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

For cake
10 1/2 ounces Valrhona* or Lindt bittersweet chocolate
1 1/4 sticks (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
5 large eggs
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For ganache
6 1/2 ounces Valrhona* or Lindt bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup brewed espresso
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened well
1 tablespoon triple sec or other orange-flavored liqueur
3 half-pints fresh raspberries
*available at some specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter a 10-inch springform pan.
  • Chop chocolate and cut butter into pieces. In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate and butter with sugar, stirring until smooth (sugar will not be dissolved). Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and cool mixture to room temperature. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
  • Separate eggs, putting yolks in a small bowl and whites in a large bowl. Add yolks 1 at a time to chocolate mixture, whisking well after each addition. With an electric mixer beat whites until they just hold soft peaks. Sift flour over chocolate mixture and with a whisk fold flour and half of whites into mixture gently but thoroughly. With a rubber spatula fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
  • Pour batter into pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out with moist crumbs adhering. Cool cake completely in pan on a rack. Cake may be made up to this point 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Make ganache:
  • Chop chocolate and in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat. While chocolate is melting, in a small saucepan bring cream just to a simmer and add espresso. Add cream mixture to chocolate with butter and liqueur and stir until smooth.
  • Assemble cake:
  • Remove side of pan and cut cake into 8 wedges. Invert wedges (so that top sides will be flat) onto a large rack set over a large shallow baking pan, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Pour enough warm ganache evenly over wedges to coat them and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Scrape excess ganache from baking pan into bowl of ganache and pour ganache over wedges again, making sure they are coated completely. (Remaining ganache may be chilled, covered, and reheated for using as a chocolate sauce.) Let wedges stand at room temperature until ganache is set, at least 1 hour, and up to 6.
  • Just before serving, pick over raspberries and cover top of each wedge with raspberries.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream. If you overbeat it, it will become stiff and grainy.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.
  • When making the raspberry sauce, be sure to use fresh raspberries. Frozen raspberries can be used, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • If you don't have any raspberry liqueur, you can use another type of fruit liqueur, such as cherry or orange liqueur.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of raspberry sauce.

Conclusion:

This chocolate truffle pie with raspberry sauce is a decadent and delicious dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. The rich chocolate filling is creamy and smooth, and the raspberry sauce adds a tart and tangy flavor that perfectly complements the chocolate. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
