CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY TRUFFLE ICE CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut parchment paper and foil into 3 five inch squares each. Place the parchment on top of the foil.
• Place 3 inch baking rings on top of the parchment and bring the parchment and foil up over the sides of the rings to create a pan. Brush the parchment and the rings with butter and dust very lightly with flour or cocoa powder.
• Heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the melted butter and chopped chocolate in a bowl and microwave for about 60 to 90 minutes. Stir until smooth. Add the Kahlua and whisk.
• In a small bowl, add the egg, egg yolk, and sugar and beat with a hand mixer on high for about 5 minutes, until tripled in size.
• Add 1/4 of the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir.
• Fold all of the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and then divide the mixture among the three prepared baking rings placed on a baking sheet.
• Bake the cakes for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes in the rings on a wire rack.
• Remove the cakes from the rings and onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Place the confectioner's sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and instant espresso powder in a small bowl.
• Gradually whisk in the whipping cream.
• Whip with a hand mixer until you have stiff peaks, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Let cookie dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften. Heat oven to 350°F.
• In large bowl, mix cocoa, whipping cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt with wooden spoon until well blended. Crumble cookie dough into cocoa mixture; add chocolate chips, and stir until well blended. Place dough in freezer 15 minutes for easier handling.
• Using measuring tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, shape dough into 30 balls. Freeze 15 minutes. Place 1 caramel inside each dough ball, covering completely and reshaping ball around caramel. Dough will be sticky; wet hands slightly if helpful. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 9 to 13 minutes or until edges of cookies are set. Cool on cookie sheets 2 minutes; remove to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small microwave bowl, microwave 20 caramels and 2 tablespoons whipping cream uncovered on High 45 seconds to 1 minute 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds or until caramel is melted and mixture is smooth.
• Spoon or drizzle caramel over cookies. Just before serving, sprinkle with salt.
