Chocolate Chicory Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, oil, vanilla, melted chocolate and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until incorporated.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, chicory and salt in a separate bowl.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Add the powdered sugar to a small plate.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop up about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll in the powdered sugar until thickly coated, then place on the prepared sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
• Bake until set around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove from the sheet tray to cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Put chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine cream, coffee, and cinnamon stick; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate.
• Let stand, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick; whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is blended and smooth.

Steps:

• Combine flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa, chicory, and baking powder in the bowl of a mixer. Add butter and beat on medium speed until sandy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and gradually beat in eggs and 1 egg yolk. Add chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
• Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 1 1/2-inch-thick log (about 12 inches long) on a lightly floured surface. Wrap each log in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Unwrap logs; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Whisk together remaining egg yolk and cream. Brush tops of logs with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Bake until firm, about 35 minutes.
• Transfer logs to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut each into 1 1/4-inch-wide wedges with a serrated knife by alternating the angle of the knife as you slice crosswise.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray the insides of 6 large oven-safe coffee cups or six 6-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• To make the cocoa sprinkle, whisk 1/4 cup of the sugar, the light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder in a small bowl until most of the brown sugar lumps are broken up, and set aside.
• Using a stand mixer (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer), blend the butter and remaining sugar together on medium speed until the sugar looks like wet sand, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the cream and vanilla, mixing until well blended, using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Whisk the flour, the remaining cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl and then add it to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until a stiff dough comes together, then increase the speed to medium and beat for 15 seconds.
• Divide the batter between the coffee cups, filling each one about half full, using the back of a spoon to press the batter into the cup. Top each with 2 tablespoons of the reserved cocoa sprinkle and then pour 21/2 tablespoons of coffee over the cocoa. Bake until the cakes soufflé up and the top of each cake is crusty and dry on top with no visible wet spots, about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
• Make ahead:
• This cake is best eaten warm within a few hours of baking. If you have some left over the next day, you can heat it up in the microwave before serving to get its gooey quality back.

Steps:

• Place sugar, flour, and cocoa powder into a bowl. Whisk together to remove lumps.
• Heat milk, butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat until butter melts.
• Whisk dry ingredients into the milk mixture a little at a time. Increase heat to medium-high until mixture comes to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, turn off heat. Whisk in a pinch of salt.
• Pour hot over ice cream or store in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
