Individual Chocolate Melting Cakes
From

View Real Simple Menu

10 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Caramel sauce
Coffee ice cream

Heat oven to 325º F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable cooking spray.Melt the chocolate and butter in a large bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from heat. In another large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and melted chocolate. Mix with a spoon until well blended.
Divide the batter evenly into 8 muffin tins and bake until the cakes have just cooked through, about 15 minutes. The cakes will still look a bit moist on top. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Serve warm with the caramel sauce and ice cream.

Answer 3

Chocolate Mousse

1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Combine 1/4 cup of the whipping cream with the chocolate chips. Microwave until smooth when stirred with a spoon. 30 seconds at a time, then stir, then microwave again, then stir, and so on. Don't heat it too much or it will seize on you. Let it cool. Beat the rest of the cream in a mixer on high until stiff peaks form. (don't let it turn into butter) Fold the chocolate mixture in to the whipped cream a little at a time. Mix gently so you don't deflate the mousse. Chill well and serve. You can add a dollop of whipped cream on top, as well, and even sprinkle a little chocolate shavings on top.

Answer 6

Macerated fruit--(change according to what's in season) sliced peaches, sliced/quartered strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries.

Add sugar, let sit until a syrup forms (no need to cook.) I prefer the fruit in the fridge, but if you let it sit on the counter for about 10 minutes, it's pretty much the same deal.

Add whipped cream IF you didn't just eat something creamy. You don't want cream with cream for dessert.

Add cookies or angelfood cake (I love those butter wafers that are like waffle cones, or whatever, just not, like, Oreos or chocolate-chip cookies. Maybe amaretti or butter cookies, something like that. Biscoff are good, too.)

Or gelato or sorbet--that's good, too. I also love sherbet.

Answer 7

Divide a made up packet of chocolate Angel Delight between six glasses. Leave it for a few minutes to set. Top it with a tin of cherry pie filling (again divide it equally). Top this with a squirt of whipped cream and a few chocolate sprinkles. Leave it in the fridge while you eat your dinner to chill. And Bob's your uncle.
