Chocolate Foam With Raspberries Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat 1 1/4 sticks softened butter and 1 cup light brown sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed, 4 minutes. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture on low speed. Stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup each white chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried raspberries. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake at 375˚ F until set, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Bring a little water to the boil in a small saucepan, then place the bowl of chocolate on top, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Leave the chocolate to melt slowly over a low heat.
• Remove the chocolate from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins. Meanwhile, divide the raspberries between 6 small ramekins or glasses.
• When the chocolate has cooled slightly, quickly mix in the yogurt and honey. Spoon the chocolate mixture over the raspberries. Place in the fridge to cool, then finish the pots with a few chocolate shavings before serving.

Steps:

• 1 At least 20 minutes before you are ready to make the dessert, place a large bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the refrigerator. 2 When ready, toss the raspberries with the sugar and liqueur in a medium bowl. Set aside. 3 Fill a small pot with an inch of water. Bring it to a simmer over low heat. Place the chocolate in a bowl larger than the rim of the pot and set the bowl over the simmering water. Let stand until the chocolate is melted. Remove from the heat and stir the chocolate until smooth. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. With a rubber spatula, fold in the mascarpone. 4 Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the refrigerator. Pour the cream into the bowl and whip the cream at high speed until it holds its shape softly when the beaters are lifted, about 4 minutes. 5 With a spatula, gently fold half of the cream into the chocolate mixture, reserving the second half for the topping. 6 Spoon half of the chocolate cream into eight parfait glasses. Layer with the raspberries. Spoon on the remaining chocolate cream. Top with the whipped cream. Garnish with the chocolate shavings. Serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes."
