Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- For the Chocolate Malt Parfait: Place 8 Dixie cups on a tray and set aside. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks and chill. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and cook the mixture to 238 degrees. While cooking the sugar, keep a small bowl of water and a clean brush to the pan to wash down any sugar crystals. While the sugar is cooking, whip the egg yolks and the malt powder together on high speed; scraping the bowl down as needed. When sugar syrup reaches 238 degrees, decrease the speed of the mixture and slowly add the syrup. Continue whipping the mixture at medium speed until it is cool and thick. Fold the melted chocolate into the yolk mixture, followed by gently folding in the whipped cream. Pour into dixie cups and freeze for at least 8 hours.
- For the Chocolate Ganache Glaze: Chop chocolate and set aside in a medium sized mixing bowl. Bring heavy cream just to a scald and pour over chopped chocolate to melt. Gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- For the Vanilla Polka Dot Wafers: Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla together until light. Scrape the bowl often. Add the egg whites, mix until combined. Follow with the flour and salt, mixing just until the mixture comes together. Take 1/2 cup of the mixture and to it add 1/2 tablespoon cocoa, and mix until the cocoa is well incorporated. Spread the wafer mixture evenly onto a 4-inch circle template teflon baking sheet. With a pastry bag and round tip, pipe small dots of chocolate batter onto the existing batter, creating a polka dot pattern Bake wafers in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.
- To assemble: Unmold the chocolate parfait from the dixie cup and place on a glazing rack. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the parfait, creating an enrobed effect. Place the parfaits back in the freezer for a short time, just to set. To serve: garnish the top of the parfait with a small amount of gold leaf. Place the parfait on top of polka dot wafer, and garnish the plate with a few clementine segments.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
- Lightly brush the foil with butter. Lightly brush the bowl of a stand mixer or another large metal bowl with butter. Add 2 tablespoons cut-up butter, the chocolate, extract and salt; set the bowl aside.
- Heat the half-and-half in a medium pot over medium-high heat until hot but not boiling. Stir in the sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon; boil, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; run a pastry brush dipped in warm water along the sides of the pan to dissolve any sugar crystals clinging to the pan. Clip a candy thermometer to the pan. Simmer the mixture, undisturbed, until the thermometer registers 234 degrees F to 238 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes, watching the temperature closely as cooking times may vary. (This is the "soft-ball stage." To test for doneness, drop some of the mixture into cold water; you should be able to roll it into a soft ball.)
- Quickly pour the sugar mixture over the chocolate-butter mixture in the bowl (do not scrape the sides or bottom of the saucepan in case any sugar crystals formed). Clean the candy thermometer, then clip it to the bowl. Let the chocolate mixture cool, undisturbed, until it registers 110 degrees F to 115 degrees F, about 1 hour. (For faster cooling, set the bowl in a larger bowl of cold water.)
- Brush the paddle attachment or mixer beaters with butter. Beat the mixture on medium speed until just incorporated, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat until the fudge just begins to lose its sheen and hold its shape, 5 to 15 minutes. Do not overmix or the fudge will become hard. Use a buttered rubber spatula to scrape the fudge into the prepared pan and pat into an even layer; smooth the top.
- Press one or more toppings into the fudge, if desired (about 3/4 cup total). Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then score the fudge into small squares with a knife. For the best texture, let sit at least 1 more hour before slicing. Wrap leftover fudge in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature, or up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Toppings: Crushed sandwich cookies, crushed graham crackers, white chocolate chips, sprinkles, peanut butter drizzle, or mini marshmallows.
