WHITE CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
• Grease and flour three 8 x 2 inch pans.
• *For this recipe, we recommend adding a circle of wax paper or parchment paper to the bottom of the cake pans to prevent sticking
• Remove 22 maraschino cherries from the jar and chop them finely. We will use these as the last step. Lightly blot with a paper towel. Save the additional cherries as well as the cherry juice (for brushing onto cake layers). We will also use additional slices in the filling.
• Heat the milk in the microwave or on the stove top, do not let it boil. Add the white chocolate that has been cut into very small pieces. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to soften, then stir until melted and smooth. Let this cool down before using.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, whisk for 30 seconds to blend and set aside.
• In the bowl of your mixer, mix the butter until smooth. Slowly add the sugar and mix on medium speed 4 to 5 minutes, until the mixture lightens in color and becomes fluffy
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each until the yellow is blended in.
• Add the vanilla.
• Alternately add the flour mixture and the milk/chocolate mixture, beginning and ending with the flour (3 additions of flour and 2 of milk mixture).
• Mix until just combined, do not over mix and do not mix above medium speed.
• Gently fold in the 22 finely chopped cherries.
• Pour batter into prepared pans and bake at 325 degrees F for 22-25 minutes. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, it is done. Let cool 10 minutes in the pans and turn out.
• Makes 6 cups of batter. Works well for cupcakes.
• Cut/chop the white chocolate into very small pieces, put into a microwave safe bowl and add 4 Tablespoons milk or cream.
• Microwave for 15 seconds let sit for a minute or two, stir and microwave again 15 seconds letting it sit a minute to soften further, stir. Be careful not to over heat the chocolate. The chocolate will continue to melt as it is stirred. Let the chocolate cool down before using.
• Beat the butter until softened and smooth, add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Add the white chocolate and milk mixture. Add vanilla. Add another Tablespoon milk if needed. Beat on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes and it will become smooth and creamy.
• Makes 5 cups frosting. Makes enough to frost a 2 or 3 layer eight inch cake. If you will be doing a lot of decorative piping, you will need additional frosting.
• Place the first white chocolate cherry cake layer on cake base or pedestal. Apply a layer of cherry juice using a pastry brush, then follow with a layer of white chocolate buttercream. Top with additional sliced cherries (to your liking).
• Add the second cake layer, brush with cherry juice, a layer of frosting, top with sliced cherries, and add the third layer. Brush with cherry juice, frost the cake as usual.
• I like to crumb coat (thin coat) my cakes and chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes before applying the final layer of frosting. I combed the frosting around the sides of the cake with a cake comb. I topped with chocolate curls that were created by running a vegetable peeler down the edge of the white chocolate bar. I chilled my curls in the freezer for five minutes before handing. I applied mine with a toothpick

WHITE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the chocolate pieces in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the top.
• Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer over the white chocolate. Stir until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, then stir in the cream. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
• Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Make White Chocolate-Cherry Ice Cream by folding very well-drained and coarsely chopped Sour Cherries in Syrup (page 185) or Candied Cherries (page 215) into the just-churned ice cream.
• For Black and White Chocolate Ice Cream, layer one recipe of Fudge Ripple (page 210), Dark Chocolate Truffles (page 211), or Stracciatella (page 210) into the just-churned ice cream.

CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Crush 20 of the cookies and mix the crumbs with the butter.
• Pat mixture on the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan and put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Now make a fudge sauce by putting the cream, chocolate and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan and stirring constantly over low heat until the chocolate is melted.
• Add rum if desired.
• When the fudge sauce is cool, use about half of it to spread over the cookie crumb crust.
• At this point, you also take the remaining chocolate chip cookies and stand them up along the edge of the pan.
• Put the mixture back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Take the ice cream out to soften at this point and start making the strawberry sauce.
• Put the strawberries, two tablespoons of sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and heat-- stirring occasionally-- until the strawberries form a thick sauce.
• When the ice cream is fairly soft, take the pan out of the freezer and start spreading the ice cream in the pan.
• You want to create a marbled effect by lightly mixing the two ice cream flavours together, but not so much that they become all one colour.
• Swirl in the strawberry sauce.
• Pour over the remaining fudge sauce and return to freezer until everything is firm, at least two hours.
• To serve, remove the edge of the pan and let soften for 10-15 minutes.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY CHIP CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, soda and salt.
• Add eggs, coffee, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat until smooth (batter will be thin).
• Fold in cherries and chocolate chips. Pour batter into 9x13 inch pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean. It's best to leave it in the pan, because the chips and the cherries sort of sink to the bottom and solidify and will stick big time! Frost with white buttercream.
• For the frosting: In a large bowl, combine butter, confectioners sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and vanilla. Cream with an electric mixer. Add milk by the tablespoon until frosting is smooth.
