Delicious Chocolate Recipes to Impress: Fondu, Pie, and More!

[Chef Stacy Edwards]

Hi, I am doing a show where the Host wants to do all the chocolate recipes in her PC products she has.(Fondu, chocolate pie in SW Pie dish, etc.) My problem is now what recipe can I do to go with that? Could use some Ideas.

The Chocolate Pecan Lattice Tart. It's been a hit at my shows. I also like to get the host to buy some cool whip and use the EAD.

And it shows off stoneware

Love your photo BTW!

 

[Chef Stacy Edwards]

Thanks Lisa, I guess I didn't explain it very well, The host is doing these recipes on her own to have for her guests. Do I just go along with what she has and do another Chocolate recipe, or do a Appitizer/Main Dish recipe?

 

[dannyzmom]

I think if she is making ALL chocolate stuff you shoudl make something savory

 

[lisacb77]

It depends. If you are billing it as Death By Choc then I would do a chocloate recipe. JMHO. But I love choc too!!

 

[chefann]

Make sure you tell her to make only 1 or 2 other things - it shouldn't look too hard to host, or she won't have any bookings!

 

[Chef Stacy Edwards]

When she booked her show with me, I was stating at my shows how Feb was Death by Chocolate and all my recipes/drinks would be chocolate etc..
Then when we were doing host coaching calls, she told me that she loved to cook as well and wanted to do the same (death by chocolate) with her PC products she had. Of course I didn't want to bust her bubble and tell her she couldn't.
I agree on the whole making it look easy for future host and that is why I thought maybe I should do something other then Chocolate. I don't know I am confused.
I still have one more coaching call to do with her. I just don't want the guest to go home throwing up because they ate so much chocolate.....

Well the guests should know their chocolate limits and only sample a little of each!!You can have her make things, and don't make a big deal about it...a lot of the customers may not even realize what she made vs what you made!!

 

[Chef Stacy Edwards]

So now my question is if anyone can help, is do i stay with my theme and still do chocolate, or like dannyzmom suggested and do something savory or maybe a Dip recipe?

 

[chefbritt]

If you told everyone you were doing a Death by Chocolate theme, I'd stick with a chocolate recipe. I second the chocolate pecan lattice tart, it's my favorite dessert recipe. It's easy to make and it shows off the stoneware and other tools. Plus, it's not overwhelmingly chocolatey, so it would be great for any guests who don't like a lot of rich chocolate.

 

[Chef Stacy Edwards]

Thank you, I have decided to do that or the Banana split Brownie. Leaning towards the Chocolate Pecan Lattice Tart.

Let her do the work. It would be easier on you. Use her participation as a way to show her guests how easy it is to create wonderful food using PC products. Maybe talk to her about becoming a consultant and using this as her first show. I love making the Warm Hazelnut Chocolate Cake in the Rice Cooker Plus. I use almonds instead of hazelnuts, but people are quite impressed with what can be made in the microwave.

Hi Lisa,I was looking for the chocolate pecan lattice tart recipe but could not find it.
I was wondering if you could help me with it. I'm a newbie and doing a Death by Chocolate party. I found a chocolate martini witch I'm going for. And the chocolate lava cake.

here it is.....

The Pampered Chef ®
Chocolate Pecan Lattice Tart
Recipe


1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup pecan halves
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon Double-Strength Vanilla
1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on package
Additional pecan halves and vanilla ice cream (optional)



Preheat oven to 375°F. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine chocolate morsels and butter. Microwave on HIGH 20-40 seconds until melted and smooth, stirring after each 20-second interval. Finely chop pecans using Food Chopper. Add pecans, brown sugar, egg, corn syrup and vanilla to chocolate mixture; whisk using Stainless Whisk and set aside.


Unroll one pie crust onto lightly floured Large Round Stone and roll to a 13-inch circle using Baker's Roller®. Unroll second pie crust and gently fold in half. Starting in center, cut folded crust crosswise into twelve 3/4-inch-wide strips using Crinkle Cutter; discard ends so all strips are crinkled.


Spoon pecan mixture over center of crust on baking stone using Small Mix 'N Scraper®; spread to a 10-inch circle. Carefully twist six of the pie crust strips and place evenly over filling in horizontal rows. (Place longest strips across widest point.) Twist remaining strips and lay over filling in vertical rows, forming a lattice pattern. Firmly press ends of strips onto edge of crust. Fold edge of crust over ends of strips, pinching edges to seal. Place additional pecan halves between lattice strips, if desired.


Bake 28-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes. To serve, cut into wedges using Utility Knife and serve using Mini-Serving Spatula. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
