I'm trying to make somthing delcious for my bf. INCLUDE RECIPE! thankyou :)10 POINTS!- What is your F A V O R I T E dessert recipe?
If your boyfriend likes chocolate, he'll love GANACHE.





Chocolate Ganache is so great and so easy to make!


It is a terrific filling for cakes and it is also a great, yet very rich, dessert on its own. I love it topped with Oreo crumbles.





1 large bag milk chocolate chips


2 high quality dark chocolate bars, broken into pieces


1 cup heavy cream





Heat the heavy cream to hot. Do not boil, but make it very hot.


Put the chocolates into a blender.


Pour the heavy cream on top of the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute.


Then, blend on high for about 45 seconds until emulsified.





Pour into serving dishes and chill for about 2 hours, covered in saran wrap.





Top with crumbled oreos and whipped cream (optional).





You can also eat with fresh strawberries, raspberries, other kinds of cookies, in cakes, etc.10 POINTS!- What is your F A V O R I T E dessert recipe?
Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes











1 陆 cups semisweet chocolate chips


1 stick butter


1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


1/2 cup sugar


3 tablespoons flour


1/4 teaspoon salt


4 eggs


butter cooking spray


1 tablespoon cocoa powder


8 strawberries, cut into slices- optional





Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.


Microwave the chocolate and butter in the bowl for 2-3 minutes or until melted. Stir in vanilla.


In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt. Sift these into the chocolate and mix well with electric hand mixer. Add eggs one at time, fully incorporating each egg before adding the next. Beat at high until batter is creamy and lightens in color, approximately 4 minutes. Chill mixture for at least 2 hours.


Coat the top and each cup of the muffin tin with cooking spray. Dust with the cocoa powder and shake out excess. Spoon mixture into pan using a 4-ounce scoop or ladle. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes. Outsides should be cake-like and centers should be gooey. To remove: flip over tin onto a hard surface covered with wax paper. Top with strawberries.


*If serving, melt 陆 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and then drizzle over muffins; sprinkle with powdered sugar.









CREME CARMAEL (this is my bfs favourite)





Cooking Time 60 minutes





Ingredients (serves 6)


1 cup white sugar


600ml thickened cream


3/4 cup milk


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


3 eggs


2 egg yolks


1/2 cup caster sugar


Method


Make caramel: Place white sugar in a small, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring with a metal spoon, for 4 to 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves and turns a deep caramel colour. Tilt pan, swirling sugar to caramelise evenly (watch caramel, as it takes seconds to burn).


Pour caramel into a 7cm deep, 16cm (base) ovenproof dish, tilting dish so caramel flows evenly over base and a little up the sides.


Preheat oven to 180掳C. Combine cream, milk and vanilla in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until hot and small bubbles form at edge of pan. Remove from heat.


Whisk eggs, egg yolks and caster sugar in a large bowl until pale and creamy. Slowly add hot cream mixture, whisking constantly. Strain custard into a large jug.


Place a folded tea towel in base of a roasting pan (to stop dish base overheating, causing custard to bubble around edges). Place dish on tea towel. Pour in custard.


Pour boiling water into roasting pan so it comes half way up sides of dish (known as a 'water bath'). Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove dish from water bath. Set aside at room temperature to cool. Refrigerate overnight. Run a thin knife around edge of custard and invert onto a 1cm-deep dessert plate.Slice and serve.





CHOCOLATE PUDDING BAR


Ingredients (serves 6)


250g packet malt biscuits


3 x 80g Crunchie bars, refrigerated


395g can sweetened condensed milk


600ml thickened cream


drinking chocolate, to serve (optional)


Method


Line a 3cm deep, 26cm x 16cm (base) lamington pan with non-stick baking paper. Layer malt biscuits over base of pan, cutting to fit if necessary, so base is completely covered.


Wrap Crunchies, still in their wrappers, in a clean tea-towel. Using a rolling pin, bash chocolate bars so they are broken into small pieces.


Using an electric mixer, beat sweetened condensed milk and cream in a large bowl until thick and pale. Stir through Crunchie bar pieces.


Spread cream mixture over biscuits. Top with another layer of biscuits. Cover. Freeze overnight, or until firm. Cut into squares to serve. Dust with drinking chocolate, if desired.





CHOCOLATE SWIRLED BAKED CHEESECAKE


Ingredients (serves 8)


250g pkt Arnott's choc ripple biscuits


100g butter, melted


500g cream cheese


300g sour cream


3/4 cup (175g) caster sugar


3 eggs


100g dark chocolate, melted


Method


Preheat oven to 160掳C. Process 250g pkt Arnott's choc ripple biscuits until crumbs form. Add 100g butter, melted. Process until combined. Press crumbs two-thirds of the way up side and over base of a 22cm springform pan. Refrigerate.


Process 500g cream cheese, 300g sour cream and 3/4 cup (175g) caster sugar. Beat in 3 eggs. Transfer 1 1/3 cups to a bowl. Add 100g dark chocolate, melted.


Pour half of plain mixture into base. Dollop with half chocolate mixture. Repeat. Use knife to swirl. Place on baking tray. Bake for 1 hour. Cool slightly in oven. Refrigerate.

German Sweet Chocolate Pie


I usually make everything homemade but here's the easy version:


Buy pie crust, combine pecan pieces, brown sugar and butter into a crumble-type mixture and press into the uncooked crust. Bake til crust is golden brown. Cool, and fill with chocolate (not instant) pudding. Cool, and top w/ whipped cream. Garnish with a little of the pecan mixture. It's really, really good!
I recommend white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Look it up on foodnetwork, it's difficulty is easy, and it's by santacafe. Sorry I couldn't include the link but my computer freaked out.
I love this recipe - it comes out great! Pretty easy, too.





Peach %26amp; Blueberry Pie. Yum!
