Lace Cookies with Gooey Center
- 4 cups cream
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fresh decaffeinated espresso beans, crushed in a mortar or coarse-ground in a grinder 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 pint raspberries
- Powdered sugar
- The day before, make the ganache center: In a saucepan, heat the cream until boiling and pour over the chopped chocolate.
- Whisk to combine and then strain.
- Chill overnight.
- The next day, whip the ganache in a mixer with a whisk attachment until almost stiff, but still a little gooey.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixer with a whisk attachment, combine the salt, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
- Add the flour, butter, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
- Add the espresso and pecans and mix just to combine.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dollop large tablespoonfuls of batter onto the parchment paper, leaving plenty of room between them as the lace cookie tuiles will spread out as they bake to about 5-inches in diameter.
- Bake until the edges are browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- When done, the tuiles will be bubbly and flat.
- Once the tuiles are baked, and while still hot but cool enough to hold together, individually peel the tuiles off the parchment paper, and drape them over a short, 3 to 4-ounce rocks or lowball drinking glass and leave them to cool.
- Repeat until all the tuile batter is used up.
- When cool, store carefully in an airtight container.
- When ready to serve, fill lacey tuile-cookie cups with the ganache, and dot with raspberries then give them a dusting of powdered sugar.
