So, here I am, a day late yet again for my TWD posting. I just can’t help it… By the time I got these beauties covered in chocolate and their pics taken, I had to leave the house to deliver them to my chocolate loving nieces and get to my martial arts classes. So, I post late again. Better than not posting at all, yes?
This recipe was super easy and just uses one bowl. I made some slight modifications. I left out the orange zest because I had no oranges. Instead of 2.5 oz. of bittersweet chocolate, I used 1 oz. bittersweet and 2 oz. semi-sweet. I am not a huge lover of dark chocolate so I had to kick up the sweetness level a bit! Also, I didn’t have any white chocolate as that darn stuff tends to jump into my mouth everytime I buy some. What the heck? LOL. So I melted some regular chocolate chips and used those with some cutie star sprinkles. These were a HUGE hit with my sister and her girls. I will be making them again! Next time I will make a variety of flavors like cherry, mint, and peanut butter. YUM!!
Thanks to Jayma of Two Scientists Experimenting in the Kitchen for this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie selection. Check out the blogroll to see how others did with this week’s recipe!
One of the world’s best pairings is chocolate and mint. Its almost as great as chocolate and peanut butter! I started making this as a regular chocolate ganache ice cream (because that’s very common, you know) but at the last moment, I had to add the peppermint. It really took it to the next level!
I had 3 egg whites sitting in my fridge from some honey peach (TWD) ice cream I made. I didn’t enjoy that one and the whole tub went to my parents. I saw a recipe for 6 egg angel food cake and was very interested in trying it. I needed 3 more egg whites. I am the type of girl who loves angel food cake enough that I will sacrifice the yolks for the cake. It seems the recipe came from someone looking to use leftover whites because of all the ice cream she was making. Well, it did not meet my standards. It was dry and sunk in the middle. It was too dense and it was square. I should have known not to make an angel food cake in a square pan…
Anyways… I figured I might as well make some more ice cream to use the yolks I would have on hand, especially since my ice cream maker bowl was already frozen. Turns out, that after thought of ice cream was a ton better than the cake it started with! Go figure, right?
The recipe originally suggested bittersweet chocolate but that is not my style. I think the bitterness of the semi-sweet was what made me want to add the peppermint. Guess I just like my chocolate extra milky? haha.
