Chocolate Ravioli with White Chocolate Crème Anglaise
This was a test for a possible Mother's day dessert and like NOLAGT I don't often make desserts.
Pasta Dough
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons confectionary sugar
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs
Formed into a ball, wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for about 45 minutes
Off to making the filling.
Mascarpone cheese
Sugar
Melted white chocolate chips
Grand Marnier
Rolled the dough and then started filling. I have one of the ravioli makers, but decided to use the folded sheet method.
White Chocolate Crème Anglaise
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup half-n-half
3 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 egg yolks
2 1/2 ounces chopped white chocolate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream & half-n-half in pot to simmer
Eggs & sugar in bowl and beat until light yellow in color.
Half the hot liquid into the eggs to temper and then that back into the pat with the rest of the liquid. Simmered until sauce coated back of spoon. Strained while hot and then white chocolate chips & vanilla added and stirred until chocolate melted.
Cooked ravioli in simmering pot of sugar water until they floated
Served with a sliced/sugared strawberry

Very creative idea and good execution.
Was not an original idea but ill take the execution part

I wanted the sauce thicker so it would stay in a smear-type state but since it didn't I just added some more. A full plate of it might have looked better for sure.
I think it would have held up to frying. I thought after the fact of trying to make some chocolate covered Oreos and batter deep fry dat

Chocolate Croissants
Ground cocoa nibs in milk overnight.
Made some dough with cocoa powder and the cocoa infused milk.
On the warm side for fermenting, so into the freezer it went.
Toasted some almonds and hazelnuts.
Burned two caramels before the third one was a success. Allowed to cool then made a praline' paste with all of that. It took about 12 minutes to come together.
Melted 69% chocolate with some milk chocolate.
Blended that with the praline'.
Butter layer.
First fold with the butter layer.
The chilled praline'.
Assembly many folds and chills later.
Proofing.
End result.

I'm way out of my depth with this ingredient, so no submission for me. But y'all are killing it as usual. Dropper homebrewed a Porter? Hell yea! That's an entry that speaks to me!

So I take it you didn't like the Duke's mayo thread?
There is Mexican chocolate & Rice in this thread, so we are covered for tomorrow.

It's a Silpat mat that is non-stick and can take high heat. I had it out to pour out the caramel on. I lazily used it to bake the croissants on. For baking, I normally use parchment paper.
