Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
3 large egg whites
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon orange zest

Steps:

  • For the Mousse: In a small saucepan over medium heat stir together the milk with the sugar and the espresso powder until the milk is hot, but not boiling, and the sugar is dissolved. Place the chocolate chips in a blender.
  • *Pour the hot milk over the chips. Run the blender on high until combined, a few seconds. Add the egg whites and run the blender on high until light, about 1 minute. Transfer the mousse to 4 small serving cups. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 3 hours.
  • For the Cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer, stir together the
  • mascarpone cheese and the orange juice until smooth. Add the cream,
  • powdered sugar, and orange zest. Whip until the cream has soft peaks, about 1 minute. Whip the cream just before serving the mousse or cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • * When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 ounces best-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup crushed cacao nibs
2 tablespoons crushed espresso beans
2 tablespoons high-quality Dutch processed cocoa powder, such as Valrhona or Callebaut
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup high-quality Dutch processed cocoa powder, such as Valrhona or Callebaut
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large eggs, separated

2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the waffle iron
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 pint strawberries, quartered

Steps:

  • For the white chocolate custard sauce: Combine the half-and-half and vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until pale yellow. Slowly whisk in some of the warm half-and-half mixture until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. Do not boil. Remove from the heat, add the white chocolate and whisk until smooth. Strain into a bowl, cover, and chill until cold.

Strain the cream into a chilled bowl, add the cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar and vanilla and whip to soft peaks.

Add the buttermilk, oil and vanilla and whisk until combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the butter and chocolate.

Brush the grates with butter and ladle 1/4 cup of batter in each grate, close, and cook until crisp and browned and steam stops coming from the waffle iron, 4 to 5 minutes.

ESPRESSO GRANITA WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Categories     dessert

Time 5h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups hot espresso
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, grated or shaved
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish, carefully pour in hot espresso and whisk in granulated sugar until dissolved completely. Place dish in freezer and every hour, scrape the mixture with a large fork to create the granita texture. The granita will need approximately five hours to completely freeze. The first time you scrape, the granita will not be frozen solid. You want to start scraping while it's still slushy so that texture of the granita will be even throughout.
  • Right before serving, make the whipped cream. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks. Add the vanilla extract and confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks.
  • Line up 12 glass Champagne flutes. Place 1 tablespoon of granita in the bottom of each glass. Using a different spoon, spread a layer of whipped cream. Continue layering the granita and whipped cream, ending with the whipped cream. Sprinkle chocolate over the top of each glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.

EASY ESPRESSO WHIPPED CREAM



Easy Espresso Whipped Cream image

I use General Foods International Coffees, Cuppuccino flavor for this in place of the instant espress powder. If you are using espresso to make this, make certain that you use only the instant espresso powder! This can be made a couple hours in advance. This will work without chilling the bowl and beaters but the cream will beat up better if you chill them first. You will LOVE THIS!
