SAUCY CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE ICE CREAM





CHOCOLATE SAUCE


185g dark chocolate, chopped


1/3 cup water


60g butter


1/2 cup icing sugar


1 tablespoon brandy





COFFEE ICE CREAM


3 eggs


2/3 cup Castor sugar


1 tablespoon instant coffee powder


1 tablespoon hot water


2 x 300ml cartons thickened cream, whipped





For chocolate sauce:


Combine chocolate water and butter in pan, stir over low heat without boiling until chocolate is melted.


Stir in icing sugar and brandy over heat.


Pour mixture into loaf tin, cover with foil, freeze several hours or overnight.





For coffee ice cream:





Combine eggs and sugar in pan, whisk constantly over low heat without boiling until frothy and slightly thickened.


Dissolve coffee in water, add to egg mixture, cool to room temperature.


Fold cream into coffee mixture.


Pour into loaf tin, cover with foil, freeze until almost set.


Remove coffee ice cream, beat with wooden spoon until soft.


Place some coffee ice cream over base of loaf tin, then top with alternate spoonfuls of coffee ice cream and frozen chocolate sauce until both mixtures have been used.


Freeze overnight covered with foil.


The chocolate sauce remains soft during the freezing which gives it a self saucing effect. Delicious!
here is a recipe


cut bananas and put fruitrollups around it
This one is easy, but you have to make it and eat it right away. It won't travel. BANANAS FOSTER (for two)- In a frying pan, 1 tbsp Butter, 3 tbsp Brown sugar and two bananas sliced length wise and halved. Cook on moderate heat adding rum and a pinch of cinnamon until bananas soften and the sauce begins to thicken (Caramelize). Remove from heat and serve over Vanilla ice cream (in large red wine glasses is nice) and serve immediately.





Make it for your roommates a couple of times to get the hang of it before you make it for your guy.
Try whip cream very simple...
Ice cream topped with a liqueur like Godiva is delicious and doesn't get much easier.
Chocolate Pecan Pie





1 cup light corn syrup


3 each eggs


1/3 cup butter, melted


1 cup brown sugar


1 dash vanilla


1 pinch salt


2 cups pecans, pieces


1 each pie shell, uncooked


5 ounces milk chocolate, pieces





Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.





Combine the corn syrup, eggs and butter and whisk briskly. Add the brown sugar and mix well. Add vanilla, salt and pecans. Incorporate. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and drop in the chocolate pieces. Wrap a piece of foil around the edge of the pie to help keep the crust from over browning, and place in the oven on a small sheet pan for about one hour until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Best served at room temperature or warmed slightly in the microwave. And a little Ice Cream on the side won't kill you either. Changed my mind, just leave the Ice cream Container here.
My favorite is...prepare instant chocolate pudding (as directed on the box)...Once you're done beating it, add a med siz tub of Cool Whip and mix just long enough to blend all of the Cool Whip thru the pudding. It makes a fluffy, delicious dessert...almost like chocolate mousse. You can top it with a strawberry and sprig of mint for a final touch
My boyfriend says apple pie.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE





Tender, snowy white, and cholesterol-free鈥攏o wonder angel food cake is so popular.





Preparation Time: About 20 minutes


Bake: 375 degrees


Time: About 35 minutes


Makes 12 Servings





Ingredient:


1 cup sifted cake flour


1录 (one and one-fourth) cups granulated sugar


12 egg whites, at room temperature


陆 (half) teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons cream of tartar


1陆 (one and a half) teaspoons vanilla or almond extract


Powdered sugar and sliced fresh strawberries (optional)





Methods:


1. Preheat oven to 375掳F.





2. Sift together flour and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar; sift again and set aside.





3. In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites on high speed until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar and continue beating until mixture holds soft peaks. Add remaining sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture holds stiff, glossy peaks.





4. With a rubber spatula fold in vanilla. Sprinkle in flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at time, gently folding in each addition just until blended. Turn batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom; gently smooth top. Slide spatula down outside edge of batter and run around pan to eliminate large air bubbles.





5. Bake in 375掳F oven until cake is golden and springs back when lightly pressed (about 35 minutes). Invert pan on a funnel or pop bottle to keep cake from shrinking; let cool completely. Remove from pan and place on a cake plate or platter. Dust with powdered sugar and decorate with strawberries, if desired. Slice with an angel food cake knife or serrated knife.
