CHOCOLATE-CASHEW DACQUOISE
Another masterpiece from my father-in-law--chocolate buttercream and cashew buttercream sandwiched between layers of crisp meringue and coated with rich chocolate ganache. Yummy!!!!---and very time consuming. Plan on an entire day devoted to this one.

Steps:
- MERINGUE: Preheat oven to 300*F.
- Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Trace 2 8" circles on one of the sheets, making sure to leave a 1" space between them.
- Trace 1 8" circle in the middle of the other sheet of paper; turn papers over.
- In a small bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and cornstarch; set aside.
- In a large, grease-free bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, beat the egg whites until they start to foam.
- Add the cream of tartar and salt; gradually increase the speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks start to form.
- Slowly add the sugar and continue beating 3-5 minutes, or until the whites form glossy, stiff peaks.
- Fold in the cocoa mixture.
- Adhere the parchment paper to the cookie sheets by dabbing a bit of meringue under all 4 corners of the paper.
- Spread the meringue evenly into the 8" circles; bake for 30 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 200*F and bake 1 hour longer, or until the circles are stiff and dry.
- Cool on the cookie sheets on wire racks for 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the meringues from the paper.
- MAKE THE CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM: Melt the chocolate and coffee together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until smooth.
- Remove pan from heat; cool 5-10 minutes, or until tepid.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with clean beaters on medium-high speed, cream the butter and sugar together for 5 minutes, or until very light.
- Beat in the egg yolks and melted chocolate; set aside.
- MAKE THE CASHEW BUTTERCREAM: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with clean beaters on medium-high speed, cream the butter and powdered sugar together for about 5 minutes, or until very light.
- Beat in the egg yolks, vanilla, and cashews; set aside.
- ASSEMBLE THE DACQUOISE: Carefully trim any uneven edges from the meringue layers.
- Spoon the chocolate buttercream over one layer of meringue, top with another layer, and spread that with the cashew buttercream.
- Turn the last meringue layer flat-side up and gently press down into the cashew buttercream; spread any remaining buttercreams around the sides to fill up any gaps.
- Chill for 45 minutes, or until firm.
- MAKE THE GANANCHE: Place the chocolate in a medium bowl.
- In a small saucepan, combine the cream and the butter; cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Remove pan from heat; pour over the chocolate and stir until completely smooth.
- Cover the surface of the ganache with plastic wrap and chill for 20-30 minutes, or until it is spreadable.
- DECORATE THE DACQUOISE: Frost the top and sides of the cake evenly with the ganache; coat the sides with cashews, and top with a few chocolate curls.
- Serve at room temperature.

HAZELNUT-MOCHA DACQUOISE

Time 4h30m
Yield 10 to 12 servings

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, 12 to 15 minutes; let cool completely. Combine 1 cup each hazelnuts and sugar and the potato starch in a blender or food processor and pulse until very finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a bowl as a guide, draw three 7-inch circles on the parchment with a pencil (2 circles on 1 piece and 1 circle on the other); flip the parchment so the markings face down.
- Put the egg whites, 1/2 cup sugar and the salt in a large heatproof bowl. Set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff and shiny but not dry, about 2 minutes.
- Fold the milk and one-quarter of the egg white mixture into the nut mixture with a rubber spatula until smooth, then fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Divide the batter among the 3 circles on the parchment and spread evenly with an offset spatula to fill the circles. Bake 1 hour, 30 minutes, then switch the position of the pans and continue baking until firm, dry and golden, 1 to 2 more hours. (The layers are done when they easily peel off the parchment.) Let cool slightly on the baking sheets; peel off the parchment and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the ganache: Put 1 cup cream in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until very hot, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the chocolate and espresso powder until smooth. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until cold, thick and spreadable, at least 30 minutes. Make the whipped cream: Combine the remaining 4 cups cream and 1/3 cup sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until it barely holds soft peaks, 1 to 2 minutes. Finish beating the cream by hand with a whisk until soft peaks form; do not overbeat.
- Put 2 meringue layers on a baking sheet; spread half of the ganache on each, to the edge. Refrigerate until set, 15 minutes. (If the ganache is too firm to spread, microwave in 20-second intervals to soften.) Place one of the ganache-topped meringues on a platter. Spread with 1 cup whipped cream. Stack the other ganache-topped meringue on top; spread with another layer of whipped cream. Top with the last meringue, then cover the top and side of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Chop the remaining 1/3 cup hazelnuts and sprinkle on top of the cake along with the shaved chocolate. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
ALMOND DACQUOISE
I found this recipe in the cookbook that comes along with my Kitchenaid stand mixer. I've looked everywhere for variations but haven't been able to find even one. This is by no means low-cal, so portion sizes should be kept small. One thing that should be stressed is to not overcook the 'cakes'. Low temperature for a longer cooking time is preferable, especially if your oven runs hot. Also, be sure to liberally grease and flour the pan you use. One method I've developed is to cut out circles of parchment paper and lay them over an overturned cake pan. (If you put them into a cake pan you wont be able to get them out). Another tip: don't skimp on the almonds. If you don't use enough they won't turn out. This is not a smiple recipe. I have yet to perfect it :)

CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CASHEW COOKIES (WITH RAISINS)
I was having a massive chocolate attack last weekend, so I came up with this. I am normally not crazy about raisins in my cookies but I like them when paired with nuts and chocolate. This started as your standard basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, but you wouldn't know it by the end result.

DACQUOISE
I cant pronounce it right but it sure is delicious! These were the words from the original Chef. I have just adopted this recipe (3rd August 2005) and have endeavoured to adjust the steps of making so that anyone can make this great Dessert. The way the original instructions were posted you can understand why the first reviewer of this recipe said what they did. I hope I have corrected this and now this lovely dessert can be made by anyone. :) You can also use ground hazelnuts in place of the almonds for a change.
