Rich, Dark Chocolate Pate With Raspberry Splash image

I absolutely love chocolate and this pate is for the "true chocoholics". It is rich, smooth and worth every sinful bite!!!! A little goes a long way, so I usually serve this with fresh raspberries and kiwi. I got this recipe from our local paper.

Time 30m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

15 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (Valrhona or Callebaut)
1 cup whipping cream
4 tablespoons butter
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup icing sugar
6 tablespoons Cointreau liqueur or 6 tablespoons Grand Marnier
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting)
10 ounces frozen raspberries, thawed
3 tablespoons berry sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Line a 9 by 5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Place chopped chocolate into the top of a double boiler; add cream and butter. Melt over medium heat, stirring until completely smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute, continuing to stir.
  • Whisk in egg yolks. Sift icing sugar into chocolate mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in liqueur. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Chill for at least 8 hours to set, or overnight.
  • Unmould cake, removing paper. Dust top with cocoa powder. Drizzle a large spoonful of the raspberry splash on each plate. Using a hot, wet knife, slice cake and place on plate.
  • Raspberry Splash: In a food processor, puree raspberries, berry sugar and lemon juice. Pass sauce through sieve to remove seeds.
  • Note: I have taken this recipe and cut it in half quite successfully ~ or ~ I have placed the cake in 2 smaller loaf pans and frozen one. Freeze for 1 month.

This pate is way too complicated to make. I spent hours in the kitchen and it didn't even turn out right. I would not recommend this recipe.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The pate was dense and dry, and the raspberry splash was too tart. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This pate was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chocolate pate he's ever had. I think I'll try making it again with a different type of chocolate.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed this pate. The raspberry splash really helped to balance out the richness of the chocolate. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This pate is absolutely delicious! The chocolate is so rich and creamy, and the raspberry swirl is the perfect complement. It's a bit time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth it.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The pate was rich and decadent, and the raspberry splash added a nice tartness. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this pate a few times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it looks very impressive when you serve it. I love that you can make it ahead of time, too.
