CHOCOLATE & RASPBERRY POTS

Steps:

• Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Bring a little water to the boil in a small saucepan, then place the bowl of chocolate on top, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Leave the chocolate to melt slowly over a low heat.
• Remove the chocolate from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins. Meanwhile, divide the raspberries between 6 small ramekins or glasses.
• When the chocolate has cooled slightly, quickly mix in the yogurt and honey. Spoon the chocolate mixture over the raspberries. Place in the fridge to cool, then finish the pots with a few chocolate shavings before serving.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY POT PIES

Steps:

• Crust: Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer) until fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix. Stir the remaining ingredients together, then add to the butter mixture and mix. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour. Meanwhile, sprinkle a work surface with cocoa. Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thick, then cut rounds to fit the tops of the pies.
• Filling: Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the egg yolks, the whole eggs, and the sugar in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip until fluffy and light. Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Stir in the melted butter.
• Use a ladle or pitcher to divide the filling among 10 to 12 ramekins. Gently push 3 raspberries down into each one. Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake the pie filling for 6 minutes. Remove the pies but leave the oven on. Top each pie with a round of chocolate crust and bake another 8 to 10 minutes, until crisp. Let cool slightly and serve with whipped cream. Or let cool completely and rewarm before serving. Serve the same day.

RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE CRUNCH SUNDAE

Steps:

• MAKE THE RASPBERRY SAUCE:.
• In a food processor fitted with metal chopping blade, combine the raspberries, sugar, Chambord, and lemon juice.
• Process the mixture for 30-45 seconds, or until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine meshed sieve into a small bowl.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until chilled.
• ASSEMBLE THE SUNDAES:.
• In a chilled 4-1/2 quart bowl of a heavy duty electric mixer, using the wire whip attachement, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla at medium-high speed until slightly stiff peaks begin to form.
• Transfer the cream to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip(Ateco #7) and refrigerate the cream until ready to use.
• Spoon about 1-1/2 tablespoons of the raspberry sauce into the bottom of a large sundae glass. Add 4 or 5 raspberries.
• Coarsely crumble 2 amaretti cookies over the berries and drizzle with 1 teaspoon Chambord. Place a small scoop of the Raspberry Sorbet and Cream on top of the cookie layer.
• Drizzle about 1-1/2 tablespoons of the chocolate syrup over the scoop of ice cream. Top with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, a drizle of raspberry sauce and 4 or 5 raspberries.
• Coarsley crumble 2 more amaretti cookies over the berries and drizzle with 1 teaspoon Chambord. Top with a scoop of Raspberry Sorbet and Cream. Drizzle with some of the raspberry sauce.
