RCP: Chocolate Fury

by Robert J. » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:56 pm

Chocolate Fury

1 1/2 lb. best-quality bitter chocolate, broken into pieces
1 1/2 c. (3 sticks) cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
9 eggs

Heat oven - 425 F.
Butter- 12-inch cake pan that is 2 inches deep. Line it with parchment.

Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl over hot water until smooth. Cool slightly.

Beat -eggs in a bowl over simmering water until they start to thicken. Remove from the heat and continue beating until soft peaks are formed.

Fold half eggs into chocolate, combine, then fold in remaining eggs.

Pour - into cake pan, cover with buttered foil, place in a bain-marie of very hot water. They say water must come up to the rim of the pan.

Bake - 5 minutes. Remove foil, and bake for 10 more minutes or until just set.

Cool - it will continue to set as it does so - unmold onto a plate.

*Note*: Let it sit out on the counter for six weeks and you can call it Chocolate Furry.

Robert this sounds really interesting. What's the consistency? Like flourless chocolate cake, or a chocolate pate' or something else completely? I'm interested because this would work for our Christmas dessert...one of our guests has celiac disease. Oh, damn, he can't eat eggs either---just remembered. BUT, I'm still interested!

It tends to be on the dense side though I have managed to whip the eggs enough to get it a little lighter. Your pâté descriptor is pretty good. This thing is very, very intense!
