Black Forest Frozen Dessert Recipes

BLACK FOREST DESSERTS | SLIMMING & WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC and line a muffin tin with 6 paper cases.
• Place the eggs, sweetener, sugar and vanilla into a mixing bowl and mix with an electric whisk until the mixture is thick and has tripled in size. This will take about 4 minutes and you should see ribbons on top of the mixture when you lift the whisks out.
• Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl and gently fold in using a spatula until it's all fully incorporated into the egg mix. Be careful not to overmix and knock out all of the air.
• Pour the mixture into each paper case and flatten out. Bake for 12 minutes. You'll know they're done if you can put your finger on the top of the cakes and it doesn't leave an indent. If it does leave them in the oven for another 2 minutes. Leave to cool.
• Whilst the cakes are baking, make the chocolate filling. Add the Greek yoghurt, cream alternative, cocoa powder, honey and vanilla to a bowl.
• Whisk together using an electric whisk until the mixture is glossy and thick. Leave to chill in the fridge until you are ready to assemble.
• Once the sponges have cooled, remove from the paper cases and cut each cake in half horizontally to create 2 circle pieces. Put to one side.
• Now you are ready to assemble. Add a few of the frozen cherries to the bottom of your serving dishes then top with some of the chocolate dessert before adding a piece of the chocolate sponge on top.
• Continue to layer up with the cherries, dessert and sponge until you are at the top of your serving dishes.
• Add a swirl of aerosol cream and sprinkle over the dark chocolate. Finish with 1 fresh cherry on top of each dessert.

BLACK FOREST CAKE FOR TWO

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a quarter-sheet pan with parchment paper overlapping the longer sides, then spray with baking spray, ensuring the exposed sides of the pan are well-greased.
• Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl. Stir together and set aside.
• Mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and egg in a small pitcher. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the cocoa. Whisk together to combine. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil, then cook for 10 to 15 seconds. Add the chocolate mixture to the flour and stir together for a moment to cool slightly. Add the egg mixture and stir until smooth. Add the batter to the prepared pan and bake until cooked through in the center, about 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• For the cherry sauce: Combine the cherries, granulated sugar and liquor in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes,. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• For the whipped cream: Whip together the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla with a stand mixer until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator until ready to build the cake.
• Once the cake has cooled completely, flip it onto a cutting board and remove the parchment paper. Cut the cake in half, then cut each piece in half again, giving you 4 equal pieces.
• Carefully put the first piece of the cake on a cake stand or platter. Spread a quarter of the whipped cream on top, then scatter a third of the cherry mixture over the top. Repeat two more times, trying to build the cake layers as straight and even as possible. Place the final piece of cake on the top and spread the remaining whipped cream over the top. Grate the chocolate bar over the top of the whipped cream for the finishing touch.
• Chill the cake for 20 minutes to help firm up the whipped cream before slicing and serving.

• For the pudding: Mix together the pudding and whipped topping in a small bowl.
• For the cake: Spread the butter generously on both sides of the pound cake slices. Toast the cake in a dry frying pan over medium-low heat, 1 minute per side.
