Diets Two of my favorite foods combined in one dessert! This dessert starts with a fudgy chocolate layer, topped with a cream that’s laced with coffee and a ganache with coffee undertones. Impressive but simple to create.
2 (3-and-1/2-ounce/100-gram) bars Elite Bittersweet Chocolate
3/4 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (I used Sabra)
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup Glicks Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8-ounce/225-milliliter) container parve whipping cream
2 tablespoons Gefen Instant Vanilla Pudding or other vanilla-flavored instant pudding mix
1 tablespoon Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1/2 cup parve whipping cream
1 (3-and-1/2-ounce/100-gram) bar Elite Bittersweet Chocolate
1 tablespoon Sabra Coffee Liqueur
crushed chocolate-covered coffee beans or chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Melt chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in increments of 30 seconds or in a double boiler. Add coffee liqueur at the end. Stir and set aside.
Beat eggs with salt and sugar until light and lemony, about three minutes. Add the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Add the chocolate mixture and mix together. Pour into a greased nine- or 10-inch (23- or 26-centimeter) pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 30–32 minutes, or until done. Cool.
Beat all the ingredients together until they become a spreadable cream. Spread on cooled cake. It will be a thick layer.
Heat pareve whipping cream and chocolate in the microwave or double boiler. Whisk together until well combined.
Remove from heat and add coffee liqueur. Stir to incorporate. Spoon over cream, taking care to cover it completely.
Garnish if desired. Refrigerate or freeze until serving.
