My adaptation of my grandmother's signature dessert always garners oohs and aahs. It's pretty and deliciously rich and creamy. Gran and I have both considered it a favorite for entertaining because it can be made up a day ahead. Ingredients:
1-3/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin |
2 tablespoons cold water |
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided |
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
vanilla layer: |
1-3/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin |
2 tablespoons cold water |
1-2/3 cups heavy whipping cream, divided |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
strawberry sauce: |
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup cream to a simmer. Stir 1/2 cup into gelatin mixture until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir chocolate chips into remaining warm cream until melted. Stir in gelatin mixture and remaining cream.
2. Transfer to an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
3. For vanilla layer, in a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup cream and sugar to a simmer. Stir in gelatin mixture until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in vanilla and remaining cream. Carefully spoon over chocolate layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
4. For sauce, in a blender, puree strawberries and sugar. Transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until serving.
5. Just before serving, unmold dessert and cut into slices. Serve with strawberry sauce. Yield: 6-8 servings.
