Tips for Pairing Fruit with Chocolate

August 9, 2010 – 11:31 am | by admin

This post is brought to you by Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate. Chocolate covered strawberries, a classic. [ Flickr: somegeekintn ] I was surprised to learn, while I was working at Roni-Sue’s a couple years ago, that there were people who didn’t like fruit-flavored truffles. Not really so much surprised at the fact itself, but more the amount of people who weren’t fans of, say, the combination of raspberry and dark chocolate (one of my all-time favorites) or the pomegranate truffles. I humbly submit that it’s a matter of bad history involving fruit-related chocolates (mass-produced orange cream bonbon, anyone?). Since the farmers’ markets and grocery stores are exploding with delicious summer fruit right now, here are some ways you can enjoy chocolate and fruit in a classy, delicious way —and leave all the bad memories of fake, overly-sweet fondant firmly in the past. Hot fudge sauce on berry sorbet. [Photograph: Liz Gutman] Dark Chocolate I think dark chocolate pairs well with almost every fruit. From the sweet (banana, mango) to the tart (raspberry), everything seems to go well with dark chocolate. Good thing, since it’s more popular than ever. As a kid, one of my favorite summertime treats was a smoothie made…

Ben and Jerry’s Flavor Graveyard

April 14, 2010 – 7:15 pm | by admin

VIEW SLIDESHOW: Ben and Jerry’s Flavor Graveyard One of the best and worst things about Ben & Jerry’s: they’re always introducing new flavors. But with that comes some rough goodbyes. Just when you start falling for Bovinity Divinity (milk chocolate ice cream and white chocolate cows swirled with white chocolate ice cream and dark fudge cows—retired in 2001) it’s nowhere to be seen in freezers. Just like that. Gone. Forever. You and your spoon, so alone. If you ever tour the Ben and Jerry’s factory in Waterbury, Vermont, stroll over to their Flavor Graveyard. It’s an actual graveyard—as in, there are headstones and it’s on a grassy knoll. And if you really wanted to, you could probably leave a bouquet. So let’s take a moment of silence to remember these late flavors. Will they ever come back? Why must they leave? Ben & Jerry’s Grand Poobah of PR (seriously, his business card says that) Sean Greenwood says probably not. Unfortunately, these flavors just didn’t sell as well. However, some of them might still be available at Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops, just not in pints at stores (like Coffee, Coffee, BuzzBuzzBuzz!). If you can’t make…

Cupcake report from Hong Kong: Cupcake shopping break

March 17, 2010 – 10:51 pm | by admin

This post is by our friend and Asia Correspondent Heidi: Cupcake Shopping Break Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui is a great place to shop ’til you drop. But why drop when you can re-energize at Coco Coffee and Chocolate, the stylish dessert bar in the Mira Hotel? When I stopped in they had six different flavors, three “traditional” and three “exotic”. I went for the Pistachio Bliss, which was vanilla cake filled with and piled high with pistachio white chocolate mousse. The cake was dense and moist-almost a pound cake texture- and very good. The mousse was light, and not overwhelmingly sweet, although not very pistachio-y either. (They are served with a fork, which confused me at first but then made total sense- if you try to bite into these you will get mouse all over your face.) Overall I felt like I was indulging but also eating “real food”, which you can’t always say about cupcakes. The other flavors that were available were: Mango Margarita-Vanilla and Cointreau cake with mango and tequila mousse Go…

White Chocolate Coconut Blondies

February 4, 2010 – 9:01 pm | by admin

Would you believe it if I said I’ve never made Blondies before? I’ve never eaten one either. I know – how horrible. That’s what you’re thinking isn’t it? Because that’s what I’m thinking now that I’ve eaten one. Or a few. Or maybe one more than what a “few” means. So when I saw this recipe on my friend Jane’s site (If you like meal planning, head on over there sometime because Sunday nights she posts her weekly menu. Every single week. So fun!), I thought that I better make them. You know what was one of the most fun things about today though? I got to use my new camera to take pictures of this new (to me) recipe. And my very favorite 2 year old is finally interested in helping me out in the kitchen. I’ve enjoyed these fun times with Logan for several years that now I can share with Madeline too. I think she just does it because she’s finally realized that I let her lick the bowls, spoons, and whatever else she can get her tongue on. She’s a smart one. Picked up on that little tidbit from her brother, I think. I have now been initiated into Blondie…

February 4, 2010 – 5:04 pm | by admin

Melody Brandon at Sweet & Saucy Shop in Long Beach, California, has created some truly beautiful pieces of art in the form of cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. I love the creative use of toppings and artistic design, and cupcake wrappers, to create cupcakes that I’m sure anyone receiving them would swoon over. You can see even more at her blog My Sweet and Saucy . You can also follow @mysweetandsaucy on Twitter for updates. We are selling the jewel accent cupcakes in packs of two for $8, packs of 4 for $16, packs of 6 for $24, and packs of 12 for $48. The sugar flower cupcakes are $10 each. Mini cupcakes with conversation hearts She told me about the jewel accents seen below: As for the jewels they are made out of white chocolate (you could use fondant or sugar paste as well) and poured into silicone jewel molds. Then I sprayed them with luster dust to make them shimmer. The purple flowers are sugar flowers and are edible too.
