These easy homemade candies are reminiscent of fancy dipped chocolates. They may not look as pretty, but they are filled with the fresh, pure flavor of dark chocolate and sweet, boozy raspberries. Gussied up in paper liners and arranged in...

Raspberry Liqueur Chocolates Recipe

sugar

light cream

corn syrup

raspberry liqueur,

chocolate chips

solid vegetable shortening, unsalted butter, or flavorless oil

Combine sugar, cream, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water in heavy medium-large saucepan. Boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon until sugar dissolves. Clip candy thermometer to side of saucepan.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thermometer reaches 240ºF (soft-ball stage), 20 to 30 minutes. Watch mixture carefully. If it bubbles too close to surface of saucepan, stir gently until it recedes. 

Remove saucepan from heat. Cool, without stirring, to 110ºF, about 40 minutes. Remove thermometer. Add raspberry liqueur and beat with wooden spoon until fondant mixture is creamy, thick, and quite stiff, 10 to 12 minutes.

Form the fondant into 1-inch balls and arrange on baking sheet lined with wax paper. Let stand until dry and firm, about 30 minutes.

Melt chocolate and vegetable shortening in heatproof bowl set over pan of simmering water. When chocolate is completely melted and smooth remove bowl from pan. Using two forks, carefully roll balls in chocolate. Return balls to baking sheet lined with wax paper and let stand until dry, about 2 hours. Store, tightly covered, in a cool place for up to two weeks.

Microwave for 1 minute on full power until the cake has risen and there is no raw batter on the top of the cake. You can quickly stick a fork or spoon into the centre of the cake to see if it cooked through. Cook in further 10 seconds bursts, if needed (but be careful not to overcook). Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

This really is the ultimate chocolate mud cake. This high-rise mud cake is ridiculously dense, rich and fudgy. A silky chocolate ganache topping makes this cake the perfect chocolate indulgence.

Pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 80-90 minutes (1 hr 20 mins - 1 hr 30 mins) or until a  skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Avoid opening the oven door during cooking as much as possible or the cake will sink in the middle.

Place the finely chopped chocolate in a separate small bowl. Pour the hot cream and milk over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir together until smooth and well combined. If the chocolate doesn't melt completely, microwave the ganache in 10 seconds bursts until smooth.

Using a large serrated bread knife, level out the top of the cake so it is completely flat. Pour the ganache over the top of the cooled cake, using the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over the sides of the cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until ganache is firm and matte. The ganache can also set at room temperature (if your house is reasonably cool), but it may take longer.

Slice up and enjoy! I find that this cake tastes even fudgier on the second day.

How to make vegan white chocolate at home that is creamy and rich with just 5 ingredients. The recipe is dairy-free and super easy to make, anyone can do it!

Vegan White Chocolate

3.5 oz cacao butter ((food-grade))

cashew butter (or coconut butter)

powdered sugar (or powdered Erythritol)

tsp clear vanilla extract

salt

You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Melt the cacao butter in a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally. I simply added the cacao butter to a ceramic bowl and put the bowl into a pan filled with a little hot water. It&#39;s important that you turn off the heat once the water in the pan starts simmering, to avoid drops of water getting into the bowl.

Keep stirring until it&#039;s completely melted, then add the cashew butter (or coconut butter) and stir to combine.

Finally, sift in the powdered sugar, and also add the vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Prepare two silicone molds and use a spoon to fill the white chocolate mixture into the molds.

Transfer the silicone molds into your fridge for about 1-2 hours (or into your freezer for about 20-30 minutes) until the chocolate firms up.

Remove from the mold and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.

Thanks for this great recipe! Finally, I can make my own white chocolate without refined sugar and preservatives.
