CHOCOLATE CHERRY BOMBE

Steps:

• Line bowl with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang all around.
• Stir walnuts and chocolate cookies into cherry ice cream in another bowl. Transfer ice cream to lined bowl and spread evenly over bottom and up sides, leaving a crater in center. Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Scoop chocolate ice cream into crater in cherry ice cream, then smooth top with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, melt chocolate with butter and oil in a heatproof medium bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
• Invert bombe onto a rack set over a baking sheet and remove plastic wrap. Make a small indentation in top and place maraschino cherry into ice cream so that the cherry is submerged but stem sticks straight up (like a fuse).
• Ladle chocolate sauce on top of bombe (avoiding cherry stem), letting it drip over sides to coat thoroughly. Freeze until chocolate coating is set, about 30 minutes.
• To serve, cut into wedges.

CHOCOLATE PYRAMID RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat oven to 400º. Line a half sheet pan with parchment. Do not spray with non-stick spray. In the bowl of a food processor fit with the blade attachment, combine the egg whites and almond paste. Process until the two are combined and the almond paste is soft. In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment, combine the egg yolks and 1/4 of the sugar and beat until the mixture thickens but isn't stiff. Switch to the paddle attachment and add the almond paste mixture a small bit at a time to avoid getting lumps. Transfer this mixture to a mixing bowl and clean the stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment thoroughly. In the clean bowl of your stand mixer, combine the egg whites and salt. Whisk until the egg whites become white and foamy. Slowly add the remaining sugar and whisk until the egg whites form stiff peaks. (Be careful not to whip to the point that they become chunky and dry.) Fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture to lighten. Add the remaining whites and gently fold until the two are incorporated. Whisk together the flour and cocoa. Sift the flour mixture over the egg mixture and fold together with a large rubber spatula. Spread the batter onto the prepared sheet pan in a very even layer. Bake for 10 minutes or just until it springs back when gently poked. Make the buttercream: In a heavy saucepan, combine the granulated sugar with 1/4 cup (60 ml) water and stir constantly over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stop stirring. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and cook until the sugar syrup reaches 240°F (116°C). Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the eggs, vanilla bean paste, and salt. Whisk until the eggs are broken. When the sugar has reached 240°F (116°C), continue whisking the egg mixture on medium speed and slowly pour the sugar syrup in a slow stream down the side of the mixing bowl. Once all the sugar is added, increase the speed to high and whip until the bowl is cool to the touch. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the butter, a few cubes at a time, until it has all been incorporated. Transfer a large spoonful of this mixture to the melted chocolate and stir vigorously until incorporated. With the mixer running on medium speed, add the chocolate to the remaining buttercream mixture. Make the simple syrup: In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar with 1 cup (240 ml) water and stir over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Let cool slightly. Assemble the layers: Once the cake has cooled, use a pastry brush to gently brush off the top "skin" of the cake. Trim the edges of the cake, then divide the cake into 4 even strips, each approximately (or slightly less than) 4 by 12 inches (10 by 30.5 cm). Transfer a cake layer to a serving platter. Using a pastry brush, brush a layer of simple syrup over the entire cake surface. Spread a thin layer of buttercream over the sponge layer, spreading it as evenly as possible, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Top the buttercream with the second cake layer, pressing gently to adhere. Brush with simple syrup and spread with buttercream. Continue layering with cake, simple syrup, and buttercream until the fourth layer is applied. Cut the cake in half lengthwise. Spread an even layer of buttercream on top of one half and place the second cake half on top so you are left with 8 cake layers. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, about 1 hour. Trim any uneven sides off the cake: Dip a long, very sharp serrated knife in scalding water and dry it off. Cut the cake in half diagonally, forming two long triangles. Flip the triangles so that the uncut sides are facing each other. Spread a thin layer of buttercream along one of the uncut sides, then press the two uncut sides together, with the buttercream acting as glue. You've now created a triangle. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Make the glaze: Place the chocolate in a medium mixing bowl. Bring the cream and butter to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, then pour the cream mixture over the chocolate. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Place the cake on a cooling rack. Spread the glaze over the cake with a small offset spatula. Sift the cocoa powder evenly over the cake to coat the glaze.

Steps:

• Add boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY BOMBE

Steps:

• Line a 1 1/2 quart glass or stainless bowl with plastic wrap, leaving enough excess hanging over the edge, and stick it in the freezer.
• In a medium pot, combine the cherries, 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, kirsch, and 3/4 cup of water. Simmer over medium-high heat until the juice from the cherries is released and the fruit is soft, about 20 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry and add it to the cherry mixture. Simmer, stirring, for another 2 minutes to thicken. Remove the cherry sauce from the heat, you should have about 4 cups. Put the cherry sauce in the freezer or in an ice bath to chill until cold.
• Using a wire whisk, beat 2 cups of the heavy cream, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and vanilla together until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into half of the cherry mixture (2 cups) to make a light mousse - don't overdo it, it's ok if there are streaks of cream in the filling. Gently fold in the pistachios. Take the plastic-lined bowl out of the freezer and spoon the cherry mousse into it, filling it all the way to the top, and spreading evenly around the rim. Freeze again for at least 8 hours, so the mousse sets up firm.
• Heat the remaining 1 cup of cream and the chocolate in a pot over medium-low flame. Stir to melt the chocolate completely and smooth it out into the cream. Cool until warm to the touch, the chocolate should still be pourable.
• Take the bowl of cherry mousse out of the freezer and invert it, bottom-side up, on a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Carefully peel off the plastic and pour the chocolate ganache over the bombe to cover it completely, allowing the excess to drip down into the sheet pan. Stick the chocolate cherry bombe back in the freezer to chill. Using a couple of flat spatulas, carefully remove the bombe from the rack and put in on a chilled platter. Cut into wedges; serve with the reserved cherry sauce.
