Very Intense Chocolate Slab With Kahlua Custard Sa Recipes

VERY INTENSE CHOCOLATE SLAB WITH KAHLUA CUSTARD SA

Steps:

• Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom and long sides of a loaf pan. It should hang over sides by a few inches, as you're going to use this as a sling to remove slab from pan.
• In a large pot, bring cream to a boil. Make sure to use a pot that's large enough so cream doesn't overflow. Remove from heat as soon as it boils. Whisk in both chocolates til completely melted. add almond, vanilla and butter and whisk til smooth.
• Pour mixture into prepared pan, but be careful to keep the paper in place. Chill in refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight (I love make ahead stuff, and this dessert is perfect for that). when slab is very firm, run a knife around ends to loosen and lift out by holding ends of paper. Slice into 3/4 inch "slabs" using a long thin knife. It will be easier to slice if you have a damp cloth or paper towel handy to wipe the blade clean in between slices.
• Put each slice on a dessert plate and pour Kahlua custard sauce around it to cover plate. Grate or shave some semisweet chocolate onto the sauce and serve.
• Kahlua Custard Sauce: 1/2 cup whole milk 1 cup heavy cram 1/4 cup sugar 3 large egg yolks, room temperature Pinch salt 1 tsp. vanilla extract 3 Tbsp. Kahlua Put milk and cream into large pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat an whisk in about half of the sugar. In large bowl, mix remaining sugar, egg yolks and salt and set aside. Return cram mixture to stove over medium heat. When cram starts to simmer, reduce heat and add the yolk mixture. Whisk for 3 minutes or til thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add vanilla and Kahua and blend well. Pour through a strainer into shallow bowl and refrigerate til cold. Serves 8 to 10

KAHLUA CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the pecan streusel and toss together with your fingertips until crumbly and evenly blended. Refrigerate until needed.

• In the top of a double boiler, melt chocolate over simmering water. Add the brown sugar and cream, whisk until smooth and remove from heat. Cool for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a very large bowl, whisk together thoroughly the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla. Stir 1/4 cup of this custard mixture into the chocolate to temper it, then add all of the chocolate mixture back into the custard. Add the bread cubes to the bowl, toss until they are evenly coated, and let sit in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Pour into prepared loaf pan and place in a larger pan. Fill the larger pan with boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Top with pecan streusel and bake for about 2 hours, until center feels slightly firm. While cooking, make the Kahlua sauce.
• In the top of a double boiler, melt the butter and then add the Kahlua and sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved.

Add the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon and beat with the mixer on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the frosting lightens and is fluffy, 2 minutes more.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE FLAN WITH KAHLUA

Steps:

• Set out 10 small custard cups, and a roasting pan large enough to hold the cups in a water bath.
• To make the caramel, mix the sugar and water in a small saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
• Continue to cook, without stirring, until the syrup turns a deep amber color, about 8 minutes.
• Divide the caramel among the custard cups, and tilt the cups to coat the bottom and sides.
• Set the custard cups in the roasting pan.
• To make the custard, pour the half-and-half (or milk and cream mixture) and the milk into a large saucepan.
• Add the chocolate, cinnamon stick and sugar.
• Bring to a low simmer over medium heat, cover and set aside to steep for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees farenheit.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, Kahlúa, vanilla and almond extracts.
• Slowly beat the hot milk mixture into this.
• Strain all the custard through a fine-mesh sieve and throw out the cinnamon stick.
• Pour the mixture into the caramelized custard cups.
• Place the roasting pan with the custard cups onto the center rack of the oven.
• Pour in enough hot tap water to reach halfway up the sides of the cups, and loosely cover the pan with foil.
• Bake just until the custards are set but still slightly wobbly in the center, usually 20 to 25 minutes.
• They will firm more when chilled, so do not overbake.
• Take the custards out of the water bath, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• To unmold the flans, run the tip of a knife gently around the edge of each custard cup, then put a plate over the mold and flip over.
• Serve immediately.
• Note: If you can get it, Bayless recommends Mexican Ibarra chocolate.
