Individual Chocolate Nut Pies
The rich filling for these little pies is a mixture of bittersweet chocolate, corn syrup, eggs, and mixed nuts. Baked in a classic graham cracker crust in individual ramekins, they are easy and delicious.
Chocolate Mint Trufflettes
These small truffles are especially nice to box and give to friends over the holiday season. They keep well in the refrigerator and can also be frozen.
Chocolate Soufflè Cake With Raspberry Sauce
Fluffy and delicate, this light cake contains fewer egg yolks and less butter than is customary. Serve at room temperature, with or without the sauce.
Chocolate Roll
Light, delicate, and tender, this chocolate roulade is made without flour and bakes very quickly. It is a bit fragile to roll, but the result is delectable.
Choux á la Crème
Similar to ones my mother used to prepare, these cream puffs are filled with blackberry preserves and whipped cream and served on a simple but particularly flavorful chocolate sauce.
Chocolate Paris-Brest Cake
Resembling a wheel, this French pastry is thought to have been created by a Parisian pastry chef to celebrate the famous bicycle race from Paris to Brest, in Brittany.
