Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For the cookies:
  2. Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange the rack in the middle.
  3. Melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, in a small saucepan over low heat; set aside.
  4. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder in a medium mixing bowl to aerate and break up any lumps.
  5. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and butter at medium speed until light in color.
  6. Beat in vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
  7. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl; add melted chocolate and mix until smooth.
  8. Add dry ingredients and beat at low speed just until incorporated.
  9. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake until cookies are puffed and set, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  10. Transfer cookies to a rack and let cool to room temperature.
  11. (Makes 36 cookies.)
  12. For the chocolate crème anglaise:
  13. Combine cream and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  14. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat.
  15. Whisk together remaining sugar and egg yolks until pale and well incorporated.
  16. While constantly whisking, slowly pour in 1/2 of the hot cream.
  17. Pour egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan with the hot cream and place over low heat.
  18. Stirring constantly, cook mixture until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  19. Melt chocolate over low heat and whisk into crème anglaise.
  20. Cool and refrigerate.
  21. For the garnish:
  22. Combine cherries and lambic in a medium bowl, and set aside until cherries rehydrate, about 15 minutes.
  23. Drain cherries and reserve lambic.
  24. Whisk lambic and cream together, and beat to form medium peaks; refrigerate until ready to use.
  25. To assemble:
  26. For each serving, break up three cookies and set aside. In a 4- to 5-inch-tall glass (with a 2-1/2- to 3-inch diameter), layer 1/3 of the cookie pieces, a rounded tablespoon of the whipped cream, 1 tablespoon of the crème anglaise, a few soaked cherries, and a bit of the chopped chocolate.
  27. Repeat twice to make three complete layers.
  28. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  29. Note: After assembling your desserts, you’ll have some leftover chocolate cookies.
  30. We’re sure you’ll figure out what to do with them!
