Chocolate Indulgence
- Ingredients for 16 chocolate indulgences:
- For the Muffins (taken from "on the table" Israeli food magazine):
- 2.5 cups flour (350g)
- 1/2 cup cocoa (70g)
- 1/2 ts salt
- 1 pack baking powder (10g)*
- 1 2/3 cup of sugar (320g)
- 2 eggs beaten
- 3/4 cup oil (180 m"l)
- 2/3 cup of water or milk (160 m"l)
- For the mousse:
- 212 m"l whipped cream
- 200g dark chocolate
- For the coating:
- 200g dark chocolate
- canola oil
- Preparation:
- We start with the mousse:
- Whip the cream for a solid cream. Melt the chocolate on a microwave
- and fold the chocolate to the whipped cream. Let it cool in the fridge
- and continue with the muffins.
- To the Muffins:
- Sift together flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Add the sugar and mix
- together. Create an hole in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour
- in the eggs, oil and milk (or water). Mix just untill well blended.
- Fill a muffin pan with the mixture- just 2/3 of the way.
- Heat oven to 180C and bake for 15-20 minutes or untill a toothpick iserted to the middle
- of the muffin comes out with a moist crumbs.
- Let the muffins cool and then take off their mushroom heads.
- Put the "heads" in a bowl and crumble it. Mix the crumbled "heads" with the mousse.
- Now comes the dirty part: shape with the mousse a Crembo like hill using your hands
- and place it on each bottom of a muffin. Continue with all 16 muffins.
- After done, let the Crembos rest in the fridge for an hour.
- Melt the chocolate and add about 2-3 spoons of canola oil.
- Coat each Crembo with the melted chocolate using a spoon.
- Good Luck :)
- Couple of notes:
- * I used baking soda instead of Baking powder because i didn't have any at the time
- - You can make this switch only if you use a cocoa powder that has a great amount
- of acidity so that the baking soda can neutrilize it's acidity.
- **The baking time of the muffins in my oven took beyond 20 minutes.
