Are you a banana cream pie aficionado? If you are, try this updated version featuring a surprise semisweet chocolate layer, chocolate-hazelnut custard filling and bourbon whipped cream.
Pour this warming treat into a heated vacuum bottle to take to the rink. Whipped cream and crushed chocolate-covered malt balls would make it even more special. Quality chocolate (such as Lindt) gives the creamiest texture.
Chunks of chocolate cake doused in hazelnut liqueur and layered with dollops of chocolate-hazelnut pastry cream make a spectacular dessert. Gold leaf, which adds a touch of elegance, can be found in many baking supply stores.
This impressive double chocolate dessert is easier to make than it looks.
The crunchy coating for these dark chocolate truffles is made from finely chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans. If you can't find them, roll the truffles in cocoa powder instead.
Intensely flavoured cookies are just the thing when you want a chocolate fix. To avoid sifting when making them, separate the chocolate chips from the other ingredients with waxed paper.
The decadent flavour of this honey-infused pecan pie filling is made even more addictive when topped with chunks of dark chocolate. We've added cocoa powder to the crust for a sinful double dose of chocolate.
