Yield 12 (2 each)
Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- Cut slit into the side of each California Prune and stuff with small piece or portion of filling as desired. Pinch to close; shape to form round shape. Set aside.
- Place chocolate in a small heatproof bowl, set in a pot of hot (not boiling) water over low heat; allow to melt, stirring occasionally until smooth. (Chocolate should be fluid and barely warm.) Remove from heat. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil or wax paper. Using a fork, dip prunes, 1 at a time, into chocolate; drain excess. Place on prepared baking sheet; decorate with toppings, as desired. Refrigerate immediately until set.
- When the chocolate has hardened, transfer to jars or containers for gift-giving. Store, covered, in a cool place, away from direct sun or heat.
- Tip: Melted white chocolate can be drizzled over chocolate-dipped prunes before adding toppings if desired.

WALNUT-STUFFED CHOCOLATE-COVERED PRUNES.
This is much nicer than it sounds. It is an elegant and attractive sweet to serve after a dinner and I make it every Easter as it is vegan or 'nistissimo' as the Greeks say. Note that the preparation time is just an estimate.

Steps:
- Slit prunes with a small sharp knife and remove the stones.
- Place pitted prunes in a small bowl and cover them with the cognac and allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Open up each prune and insert a walnut half and then press it closed again. The cut sides should stick together and the walnut be completely enclosed.
- Repeat with all prunes.
- Melt chocolate in double boiler and dip each stuffed prune into the melted chocolate with a pair of tongs.
- Place onto a foil-lined tray and sprinkle with remaining walnuts that have been finely chopped.
- Allow to set at room temperature (avoid refrigeration as it takes away the glossy finish and makes them look dull).
- Each piece can be put into a pleated paper cup for an attractive presentation.
- Dried apricots can be substituted for prunes but they are a little drier and harder to stuff.

CHOCOLATE AND PRUNE MARQUISE WITH ARMAGNAC CRèME ANGLAISE
Categories Milk/Cream Chocolate Egg Dessert Prune Cognac/Armagnac Triple Sec Chill Gourmet Vegetarian Pescatarian Wheat/Gluten-Free Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Soy Free Kosher
Yield Makes 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- To make the marquise:
- In a small bowl let the prunes macerate in the Armagnac for at least 2 hours, or until they have absorbed most of the liquid. In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water combine the chocolate and the butter and heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat, stir in the prune mixture and the grated zest, and let the mixture cool completely. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the heavy cream until it just holds stiff peaks, whisk about one fourth of it into the chocolate mixture, and fold in the remaining cream gently but thoroughly.
- Line an oiled 5- to 6-cup terrine or loaf pan with plastic wrap and pour the chocolate mixture into it, smoothing the top. Cover the terrine with plastic wrap and chill it overnight. Remove the plastic wrap from the top of the terrine, invert the terrine onto a plate, and peel off the remaining plastic wrap. Pour 1/4 cup of the Armagnac crème anglaise onto each of 8 dessert plates, cut the marquise into 3/4-inch slices with a sharp knife, and arrange a slice on each plate. Garnish the desserts with the candied orange zest.
- To make the armagnac creme anglaise:
- In a small heavy saucepan combine the half-and-half and the vanilla bean, bring the half-and-half just to a boil, and remove the pan from the heat. In a bowl whisk together the eggs and the sugar until the mixture is combined well and add the scalded half-and-half mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Transfer the mixture to a heavy saucepan and cook it over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens (175°F. on a candy thermometer), but do not let it boil. Strain the crème anglaise through a fine sieve into a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water, let it cool, stirring, and stir in the Armagnac. Chill the sauce, covered, for at least 2 hours, or until it is very cold. The sauce may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Makes 2 cups.
- To make the candied orange zest:
- In a small heavy saucepan combine the zest and the liqueur, simmer the mixture until the liquid is just evaporated, and spread the zest on a sheet of wax paper, separating the pieces with a fork. Let the zest cool completely. The candied zest may be made 2 days in advance and kept between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container. Makes about 1/2 cup.
