Chocolate Eggplant Chocolate Aubergine Recipes

BAKED AUBERGINES IN CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with boiling water and place a bamboo steamer over it. Place the aubergines in a single layer in the steamer, put a lid on, and steam for about 5 minutes until softened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• To prepare the chocolate sauce, simmer the brandy on a high heat, pour in the cream and turn off the heat. Once the cream is tepid, add the chocolate and sugar and stir in until it is all melted.
• Prepare the filling by mixing the ricotta with the candied fruits. Sweeten with the sugar and mix in the chocolate.
• Run a knife along each aubergine to create a pocket (do not cut all the way through), then open out and fill with the ricotta. Fill each aubergine and arrange in a serving dish with the stalks sticking out. Whisk the chocolate sauce, pour over the aubergines (not covering the stalks), and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• To serve, spoon onto a plate and serve with fresh raspberries.
