CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

 

 


BY CHEF MICHAEL SMITH

Ingredients
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 cup 35% whipping cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 cups rice krispies

Instructions

For the Filling:
Chop chocolate into small, even pieces.

Heat cream in a small saucepan to just below a simmer.  Pour over chocolate, let sit for 30 seconds and then begin to stir until smooth and glossy.  Set in a refrigerator, overnight.

For the Chocolate Coating:
Roll truffle filling into balls, using a melon baller or teaspoon.

Pour rice krispies into a shallow pan.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler.  Dip truffles into the chocolate using a fork and drain some of the excess chocolate, letting it drip through the tines of the fork, and then roll in rice krispies.  Set on a rack or baking sheet and put into the refrigerator to set.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS COOKIES

BY CHEF MICHAEL SMITH

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.

Using a stand mixer or a food processor, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. If you don’t have a stand mixer, beat vigorously by hand in a large mixing bowl.

Add the corn syrup, egg and vanilla and continue beating until well combined. Scrape down the bowl and gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Using a spoon, scoop out a ball of the dough, roll it for a moment in your hands and then drop it onto a lightly greased cookie tray. Slightly flatten the balls but leave lots of room in between to allow the cookies room to expand.

For a soft, chewy cookie, bake for exactly 12 minutes. For a cookie with a bit of crispy crunch, bake for exactly 15 minutes.

Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet and then remove and cool further.

BROWNIES



Ingredients

8 ounces dark chocolate
1 cup Butter
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
4 eggs
2 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

To protect the chocolate from direct heat, melt it and the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a small pot of simmering water, stirring constantly. When the chocolate and butter have melted, whisk until smooth.

While the chocolate mixture cools slightly, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the eggs, sugar and vanilla to the chocolate and mix thoroughly. Stir in the flour mixture and chocolate chips until incorporated.

Pour batter into a lightly oiled and floured 9- x 13-inch (3.5 L) pan. Bake for exactly 25 minutes.
