Courtesy of Rachael Ray. If you use teacups, this recipe will yield 2 cups, rather than 4. Ingredients:
2/3 cup whole milk |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons hazelnut-flavored liqueur or 2 tablespoons dark rum |
1 cup whipping cream |
2 tablespoons sugar |
mint sprig, for garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. When planning your menu, make this dessert first to allow these chocolate cups to set and chill.
2. Heat milk in a small pan over moderate heat until it comes to a boil.
3. In blender or food processor combine egg, sugar, a pinch of salt, semisweet chips and liqueur.
4. Run processor or turn on blender to low setting.
5. Pour in boiling milk in a slow stream. The hot milk will cook the egg and melt the chocolate.
6. Process or blend 1 minute, until smooth.
7. Spoon chocolate into 4 demitasse cups and chill.
8. After dinner, beat cream until soft peaks form.
9. Add a little sugar and beat to combine.
10. Top the chocolate cups with a dollop of cream and garnish each cup with mint sprigs.
11. Place cups on saucers and serve with demitasse spoons.
