Chocolate Espresso Cube Recipes

ESPRESSO AND CHOCOLATE JELLIES

Steps:

• For the chocolate layer: Place the chocolate chips and cream in a small bowl. Place over a pan of barely simmering water and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture into the bottom of 6 espresso cups. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
• For the jelly layer: Pour 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and set aside for 5 minutes until softened. In a small saucepan, combine another 1/2 cup water, sugar, and espresso powder. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently, until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the espresso mixture over the gelatin and whisk until the gelatin has dissolved. Whisk in the coffee liqueur. Set aside to cool, about 15 minutes. Ladle the gelatin mixture over the chocolate layer. Refrigerate until set, about 1 1/2 hours.
• For the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream on medium speed until thick. Add the vanilla and beat until the cream holds stiff peaks.
• Let the jellies stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Dollop with whipped cream and serve.

EASY ICE CUBE CHOCOLATE CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Please be aware, you have to place the ice cube right in the chocolate as soon as you're able to remove it from its slot otherwise it will start to melt and the chocolate will not adhere.
• Fill a 12-cup muffin tin with water.
• Place a popsicle stick into each muffin cup.
• Freeze until solid.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, peanut butter, 1½ teaspoons milk, ¼ teaspoon vanilla, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and salt until smooth.
• Fold in ¼ cup (60 ML) of whipped cream with spatula. Set aside.
• Separate the cream from 12 chocolate sandwich cookies into a separate medium bowl.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, remaining 2 teaspoons milk, and remaining ¼ teaspoon vanilla to the bowl with the cream filling. Whisk until well-combined.
• Fold in the remaining cup of whipped cream with a spatula. Set aside.
• Transfer the cookies to a zip-top bag and break into crumbs with a rolling pin. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes, then let sit for 3 minutes, until the pudding thickens.
• Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Give the ice a minute to melt down just enough to remove each ice mold from the muffin cups.
• Dip 4 of the ice discs into the melted milk chocolate, making sure not to fully submerge the ice disc. Set the chocolate-dipped ice discs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Dip 4 of the ice discs in the melted white chocolate, and the remaining 4 discs in the melted dark chocolate.
• Once the chocolate has set, give the ice discs a minute to melt down slightly. Wiggle the ice disc out of the chocolate to reveal hollow chocolate cups.
• Pipe the peanut butter mousse into the milk chocolate cups. Top with chopped nuts and a mini peanut butter cup.
• Sprinkle chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs on the bottom of the white chocolate cups. Pipe the cookie cream filling on top of the crumbs. Garnish with more cookie crumbs and half of a chocolate sandwich cookie.

• Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter. Fold in chocolate chunks. Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO SOUFFLéS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line 2 espresso cups or 2 small ramekins with softened butter followed by cocoa powder. Ensure all sides are coated with the cocoa as this will stabilise the sides of the soufflé when it rises.
• In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and melted chocolate until fully combined and smooth.
• Stir in the espresso powder, followed by the water.
• Stir in the egg yolk.
• Add in icing sugar. Stir until combined and smooth.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add the caster sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form and they become glossy.
• Fold 2 tablespoons of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture and fold until fully incorporated. Gradually fold in the remaining whipped egg whites. Be careful not to over stir, as this will knock the air out, which will stop the soufflé from rising to its full potential!
• Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared espresso cups or ramekins.
• Using a knife, carefully pull across the top of each soufflé so that the top is completely flat.
• Neaten the edges of the cups by running your thumb around the rim of the cup. This will help the soufflé to rise straight.
• Chill the soufflés in the fridge for 30 minutes (optional) and then preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Dust with a little cocoa powder and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
