City Chocolate con Kaluha
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua
- 1 pound 2 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1 3/4 cups (3 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 10 eggs, separated
- Espresso Creme Anglaise
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Line a 12 1/2 x 4 1/2inch sharpedged loaf pan with enough foil to hang over the sides about 3 inches.

- Remove from the heat and stir in the Kaluha.
- Whisk in the egg yolks until well combined.
- Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whites into the chocolate mixture in two stages.
- Pour into the prepared pan, tap on the counter to remove air, smooth top, and cover with plastic wrap touching the top surface.
- Chill 6 hours or overnight.
- To serve, remove the plastic wrap and invert onto a serving platter.
- The chocolate should release easily.
- Remove the foil.
- Coat dessert plates with Espresso Creme Anglaise.
- Top each with a slice of chocolate.
- (This slices most easily with a long, thin knife that has been dipped into hot water.)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.
- Line a sieve with a paper coffee filter.
- Combine the milk and coffee in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Pour the hot milk and coffee through the sieve and into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.

- Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Stir in the vanilla and chill.
