Berries With White Chocolate Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Once melted, add the sugar and half-and-half, and stir until well blended. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
• Line up four small bowls or glasses, and place a dollop of the chocolate sauce in each. Evenly divide the blackberries, blueberries and raspberries between the four bowls. Top each with 2 tablespoons of the chocolate sauce, and serve.

Steps:

• For the pasta: Sift together the flour, cocoa and sugar. Add a pinch salt and mound the flour mixture in a large bowl or on a clean work surface. Hollow out the center, making a well in the middle of the flour with steep sides. Break the eggs into the well. Add the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Gently mix together with a fork. Gradually start incorporating the flour by pulling in the flour from the sides of the well. As you incorporate more of the flour, the dough will start to take shape. Once it gets thick, you can use a spatula to incorporate the rest of the flour.
• If the dough is too dry, add a little water. If the dough is too wet or sticky, add a little flour. Once the dough comes together, knead the dough on a clean work surface until it becomes smooth, about 8 minutes. Shape into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Divide your rested dough into quarters and work with one piece at a time, covering your other pieces to keep them moist. Flour each piece lightly, shape it into a rectangular shape and put it through a pasta sheeter attachment, starting at the widest setting. Run the dough once through the largest setting, fold it into thirds and run it through one more time. Then run the pasta through the sheeting attachment once on every number, stopping at 5 or 6, depending on how thick you would like it. Lightly flour the rolled out pasta sheet and fold in half. Take your chef knife and cut ribbons about a 1/2-inch thick, then unravel the pasta ribbons and place on a floured baking sheet to keep from sticking.
• For the sauce: Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and stir in the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Add a pinch salt and continue whisking until the sauce is creamy. Remove from the heat and reserve.
• Cook the chocolate pasta in a large pot of boiling water, 3 minutes. Immediately remove the pasta from the water and toss gently with the sauce and a little of the pasta cooking water to help with the consistency.
• Mound the pasta and sauce on dessert plates and garnish with the fresh berries, a dollop of creme fraiche, white chocolate shavings and skinless toasted chopped hazelnuts, to garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Set angel food cake slices on a baking sheet and toast in oven to make less spongy. Rinse and hull the strawberries and cut them in half (or rinse and dry the raspberries.)
• Bring sugar, rum, water and chocolate to a simmer (sauce will be thin.) Remove from heat, add butter and cream.
• Set angel food cake in center of plate; top with strawberries. Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat cream to simmering over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and whisk in chocolate until melted. Gently simmer sauce for 10 minutes. Set aside. Make a light sugar syrup by heating the water and sugar together in a medium size saute pan, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon juice and berries to syrup and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan gently to coat the berries with syrup. Add the butter and continue to cook, swirling the berries and butter around the pan, until butter is melted. Cook for another 5 minutes. Spoon berry compote into ramekins, drizzle with white chocolate sauce and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate, heavy cream, and the vanilla in a heat-proof bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate melts.
• About 5 minutes before serving, remove the berries from the freezer and place them on individual serving plates. Ladle the warm chocolate sauce over the berries and serve.
• Yield: 8 to 10 servings
• Note: You can either buy frozen berries, or freeze your own by placing the berries on a flat tray in layer. When the berries are fully frozen, keep them a plastic bag in the freezer. Larger berries, such as strawberries, do not freeze well.

Steps:

• Combine the strawberries and blueberries together (gently) and divide among 4 bowls or glasses.
• Bring the cream to a boil in medium saucepan, remove from heat and add chocolate, stir until smooth.
• Stir in the Malibu liqueur.
• Pour the warm sauce over the berries and serve.

Steps:

• Line bottom of 9x5x3-inch loaf pan (with 7-to 8-cup capacity) with aluminum foil, extending foil over shorter ends. Puree strawberries in processor. Transfer 1 1/4 cups puree to small bowl; reserve remaining puree for another use. Stir white chocolate in top of double boiler set over barely simmering water until melted. Remove pan from over water.
• Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in heavy small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil until candy thermometer registers 250°F, tilting pan if necessary to submerge bulb of thermometer and occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add boiling syrup to whites, beating until firm peaks form and meringue is cool, about 5 minutes. Fold white chocolate into meringue.
• Beat cream and vanilla in large bowl until medium-firm peaks form; fold into white chocolate mixture. Transfer 4 cups white chocolate mousse to medium bowl. Fold 1 1/4 cups strawberry puree and Grand Marnier into 4 cups mousse.
• Spread half of strawberry mousse in prepared pan. Chill remaining white chocolate mousse and remaining white chocolate mousse and remaining strawberry mousse. Freeze strawberry layer until almost firm , about 15 minutes.
• Spread white chocolate mousse over strawberry layer. Freeze until almost firm, about 25 minutes.
• Spread remaining berry mousse over white chocolate layer. Cover terrine with plastic and freeze overnight. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
• Uncover terrine. Cut between foil and pan side to loosen terrine. Invert onto platter. Lift off pan and peel off foil. Serve with Dark Chocolate Sauce.
• To make chocolate sauce:
• Combine half and half, sugar, cocoa, butter and espresso powder in heavy small saucepan. Whisk over low heat until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Increase heat to medium and whisk until sauce just begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Mix in vanilla. Cool sauce.
