Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 30 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 bars (8 ounces) bittersweet chocolate baking bars, broken in 1/4-inch pieces recommended: Ghirardelli)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate and butter. In a medium sized skillet, bring 1/2 inch of water to a slow simmer. Set the saucepan in the skillet over low heat. Stir mixture just until chocolate has completely melted. Remove from heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow bowl. Cool, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Pour the cocoa into a pie plate. Line an airtight container with waxed paper. Dip a melon baller or small spoon into a glass of warm water and quickly scrape across the surface of the chilled truffle mixture to form a rough 1-inch ball. Drop the ball into the cocoa. Repeat with the remaining truffle mixture. Gently shake the pie plate to coat truffles evenly. Transfer truffles to the prepared container, separating layers with additional waxed paper. Cover tightly and refrigerate up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months.

GHIRARDELLI FLOURLESS FUDGY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Ghirardelli Flourless Fudgy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Chocolate-forward with a nice crunch from pecans, these cookies boast two types of chocolate with a delightfully crisp outside and a rich, fudgy interior. Pro tip: Make sure to whisk the egg whites until they are very foamy--this gives the cookies the 'lift' they need.

Provided by Ghirardelli

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Ghirardelli®

Time 1h10m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup finely chopped pecans
Cooking spray
3 cups powdered sugar
⅔ cup Ghirardelli Premium Baking Cocoa
¼ teaspoon table salt
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper; lightly coat parchment with cooking spray.
  • Sift together powdered sugar, Ghirardelli Premium Baking Cocoa, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg whites in a separate bowl until frothy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir egg whites and vanilla into powdered sugar mixture. Batter will be very thick. Stir in Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips and toasted pecans until well combined.
  • Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons), scoop dough, and place 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in preheated oven until tops are shiny and cracked, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes; transfer to wire racks and cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Ghirardelli is a great option.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in the caramel. This will help the caramel set properly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel forms a hard ball, it is ready.

Conclusion:

These Churro Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings. With their crispy churro-like exterior and gooey caramel filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
