Jaybee Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've never made it, but I saw this posted on fb today: http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com/mounds-layer-cake/ I'm pretty sure I want to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I love a Boston Creme Pie kind of thing. I make a single layer of cake (round) and make a vanilla custard to fill it. Then cover the whole thing with ganache. And chill it until you serve it. Man I love cold cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 How about making some ganache.... cooling it.... and then have a make your own truffle type thing? Different toppings and such that they can roll balls of ganache in? This is my dream dessert. I've never made it from scratch, but I hope to some day. https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/7213-chocolate-espresso-dacquoise or maybe this: http://www.patisseriemakesperfect.co.uk/opera-glazed-chocolate-coffee-layer-cake/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storygirl Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-chocolate-lovers-cheesepie-366632 This is one of my go-to recipes. It's easy, impressive, and delicious. Sometimes I have made two and frozen one to use later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I just love little petit fours. They are yummy if you use white cake cut into 2" squares and pour over with ganache. Pipe a little rosette on top. They always seem special to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Fruit fondue-type plate! Thin the ganache enough for dipping and serve it in shot glasses! If it's chocolate ganache I'm gonna want at least a highball glass. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to get to costco, make some shortbread, make ganache . . . my son keeps pushing for brie and baguette. . . (and he won't be here.) maybe some mango juice.
