APPLEBEE'S DEADLY CHOCOLATE SIN by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)
APPLEBEE'S DEADLY CHOCOLATE SIN
A decadent chocolate cake drizzled with raspberry coulis.
Cake
2 tablespoons butter
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 ounces bitter chocolate
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs, room temperature
4 egg yolks, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
6 tablespoons cornstarch
Raspberry Coulis
One 10-ounce package frozen raspberries in heavy syrup, thawed
Garnish
1 pint fresh raspberries
12 sprigs fresh mint
12 triangular cookies or chocolate pieces
Special Equipment
Twelve 4-ounce ovenproof ramekins
1. Do ahead: Make the raspberry coulis. Process the thawed berries in a blender and strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Refrigerate until needed.
2. Butter the bottom and sides of each ramekin and set them aside on a baking sheet.
3. Make a double boiler and add the semisweet and bitter chocolates, butter, and vanilla. Stir until melted. Keep the flame low so the butter and chocolate melt slowly--if the pan is too hot, the butter will separate into oil and the chocolate will taste burnt.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar. Beat at high speed until thickened and increased in volume, about 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and slowly incorporate the
cornstarch, one tablespoon at a time, then turn the mixer back up to high and continue to beat until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 275*F.
6. Gently fold the chocolate into the beaten eggs, using a rubber spatula, until well blended. Spoon the mixture into each of the prepared ramekins and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool when finished baking. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
7. To serve: Dip a dinner knife in hot water and run it around the sides of each ramekin and invert it onto a serving dish--gently remove the ramekin from the plate and spoon the raspberry coulis around the cake. Garnish with the fresh raspberries and a mint sprig, or cookies and chocolate pieces if you prefer.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
