- - to make
- Serves 6
This easy yet elegant recipe is from Food & Wine magazine. I sometimes add 1/2 c of natural coconut flakes to add another dimension.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chilled heavy cream shopping list
- One 10-ounce jar bittersweet chocolate sauce (1 1/4 cups) shopping list
- One 9-ounce package chocolate wafers shopping list
- Shaved bittersweet chocolate, for garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Beat heavy cream with the chocolate sauce at medium speed until firm peaks form.
- Put some saran wrap in a loaf pan with edges hanging out.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of the whipped chocolate cream on a long rectangular platter, to form a rectangle.
- Using a small offset spatula, spread 1 tablespoon of the remaining chocolate cream on 35 chocolate wafers and arrange them in 5 stacks.
- Top each stack with a chocolate wafer (you will have 6 or 7 wafers left over).
- Arrange the wafer stacks on their sides as close together as possible on the chocolate cream on the platter.
- Spread all but about 1/2 cup of the remaining chocolate cream all over the cake, fixing any wafers that tilt or slide.
- Press a long sheet of plastic wrap over the cake, flattening the top and sides gently.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerate the remaining chocolate cream.
- Remove the saran wrap and frost the cake with the remaining chocolate cream.
- Garnish with the chocolate shavings.
