I'm fanatical about chocolate desserts, but don't know enough about the chemistry involved to get what i want all the time
this warm chocolate torte recipe turns out very well, but it's not quite what i'm looking for ... it's basically a souflee ... very light and fluffy. i'd like a bit more bitter chocolate intensity, and also some more density ... more melt-in-your mouth lusciousness, compared with its current evaporate-into-thin-air mouth feel
my first instinct is is to up the amount of chocolate by adding 1/2 oz more bittersweet chocolate and 1 oz of unsweetened chocolate--a 40% increase in chocolate relative to other ingredients. any thoughts from the baking gurus
--------
3-1/2 ounces valrhona guanaja, coarsely chopped ?3-1/2 ounces sweet butter, soft 3 egg yolks,2TB + 2tsp granulated sugar, 2 egg white
Prepare in 6" cheesecake pa
Preheat oven at 300 degrees.
Butter the inside of pan
Melt chocolate on low heat or in double boiler. Set aside to cool. Cream the butter in an electric mixer. Beat in the cooled chocolate.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with 3 teaspoons sugar until lemony colored. Beat in the chocolate mixture.
Beat egg whites to form soft peaks. Add the remaining sugar and beat at high speed to hold soft peaks. Fold in the chocolate mixture.
Fill pan 1/2 full. Recipe can be made 3 hours ahead to this point
Bake 15 to 25 minutes. It's done when top looks dry and when torte doesn't jiggle when shaken
Set baking sheet on a rack to cool. After 10 minutes.
Transfer to dessert plates. Dust with sugar
(this is a reduced recipe for my experimental purpose. full reciipe is for 10oz chocolate and 10-3/4 pastry ring)
