Chocolate-covered candied ginger is one of my favorite treats, so I knew this recipe was for me! Every bite of this cool, creamy custard is rich, smooth and decadent.Elise Lalor, Issaquah, Washington Ingredients:
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
1 vanilla bean |
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
6 egg yolks, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup minced crystallized ginger, divided |
heavy whipping cream, whipped, optional |
Directions:
1. Place cream in a small heavy saucepan. Split vanilla bean and scrape seeds into cream. Add bean. Bring cream mixture to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Discard vanilla bean.
2. Stir in chocolate until melted. Stir 1/2 cup chocolate mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan. Cook and stir until mixture reaches 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons ginger.
3. Pour into 12 demitasse or espresso cups. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, garnish with remaining ginger and whipped cream if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
