Pictured above is a Mimosa created with our ChocoBlanka, Orange Puree, and your favorite Champagne. Disolve 1 Ounce of our ChocoBlanka with 1 ounce or more of orange puree in the bottom of your glass. You can make this ahead then add just about half the Champagne and stir. Top the glass off and add your preferred garnish. Of course you can adjust this recipe anyway you like adding more or less Champagne, ChocoBlanka or Orange puree.

As you can see, there are so many desserts that can be created using our Seattle Silk ChocoBlanka and or ChocoScura, your imagination, glassware from your bar and adding our “Fabulous” base will be all you need to dazzle the customer.

Did You Know?

With our ChocoBlanka (white chocolate Alaska Silk) you can create almost any flavor salad dressing you can think up. All you need to do is subsitute the oil or fat in your recipe that is used to emulsifie the dressing with our ChocoBlanka. This is a discovery I made several years ago but am just now starting
to develop some recipes. I’m working on savory recipes that our ChocoBlanka can be incorporated into.
I forgot to mention that all of Seattle Silk is “Gluten-Free” prepared in our dedicated Gluten-Free kitchen.

Pictured above is our White Chocolalte Meyers lemon salad dressing. I’m working on the exact
recipe. I had a dinner party the other night and when I was ready to serve the salad, I had for-
gotten to make or buy a salad dressing so I just winged it. I had some ChocoBlanka handy, and
all the ingredients listed below but I was literally just adding, tasting, and adding again until I
liked the flavor. Bear with me because this weekend I’m working on this recipe, a mango sauce
for halibut, and a red raspberry pink peppercorn sauce for salmon.

Meyers Lemon Juice
Rice Wine Vinegar
Rose Wine
ChocoBlanka

Coleslaw Dressing:

This is one of my favorite Coleslaw dressings

1/2 Cup ChocoBlanka
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons grated Spanish onion
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Heat your ChocoBlanka just enough to turn it into a liquid, add sour cream, onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, and whisk together. If it’s too thick for your liking add a bit of milk to thin it. Add your dressing to your cabbage mixture. Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning; add more salt, pepper, or sugar if desired.

Baked Alaska

We have been playing around here in the bakery with our ChocoBlanka trying to make a fun “Baked Alaska” and creating a recipe for you our valued audiance.  We have developed a passion fruit, strawberry and chocolate baked Alaska which I am calling the Mt. Denali.  We made a passion fruit and a strawberry mousse then finished them with a chocolate fudge truffle cake base.  We have prepared them in our Demarle 1/2 Sphere molds and have frozen them overnight in our -20 freezer.

Passion Domes not glazed

Once they were frozen we popped them out of the molds and piped them with a French Meringue then once again placed them in the freezer overnight.  We then took our torch and fired the meringue.

Baked Alaska

We are now going to flambe the Baked Alaska with combination of Grand Marnier and Meyers dark Rum.  We have posted the recipe for the mousse dome below.

This recipe will make 24/4 oz. passion fruit and strawberry mousse domes.

Granny Smith Cream Brulee

Granny Smith Apple Hollowed out.jpg

Well I have been experimenting with a Granny Smith Apple and our ChocoBlanka creme brulee batter.  I hollowed out an apple then placed our ChocoBlanka creme brulee batter into the apple to be baked.

Here it is filled and ready for the oven.  I baked it and it was delish but the apple wasn’t quite baked enough.  I had cut the bottom just slightly so that the brulee batter wouldn’t spill out and the apple would sit level for baking.  Below is the finished apples after I had bruleed them.

Bruleed Apple

So here it is fresh out of the oven.  I bruleed it just after it had come out of the oven.  The apple was a bit aldente and a little too much so for my liking.  Next attempt I will par bake the apple then fill it and try again…..stay tuned for the new and improved version.

Again, this was just my 1st attempt at it and I must say, even though the apple was not quite as baked as I would have liked, it was pretty tasty.  Next time I’m going to add vanilla bean to the ChocoBlanKa cheesecake batter….YUMMMMMMMMMMM! I’ll bet you could add lots of interesting flavors to this dessert.

Let me know if you have any ideas for me to try on this dessert.  I think that once it’s perfected it will be quite tasty!  What do you think?
