Answer 6

A good dessert will be chocolate Mousse

4 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, diced

2 tablespoons espresso or very strong coffee (I used decaf espresso from a local Starbucks)

1 cup cold heavy cream

3 large eggs, separated

1 tablespoon sugar

(Optional) Raspberries and extra whipped cream

Method

1 Whip the cream to soft peaks, then refrigerate.

2 Combine the chocolate, butter, and espresso in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not simmering, water, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool until the chocolate is just slightly warmer than body temperature. To test, dab some chocolate on your bottom lip. It should feel warm. If it is too cool, the mixture will seize when the other ingredients are added.

3 Once the melted chocolate has cooled slightly, whip the egg whites in a medium bowl until they are foamy and beginning to hold a shape. Sprinkle in the sugar and beat until soft peaks form.

4 When the chocolate has reached the proper temperature, stir in the yolks. Gently stir in about one-third of the whipped cream. Fold in half the whites just until incorporated, then fold in the remaining whites, and finally the remaining whipped cream.

5 Spoon or pipe the mousse into a serving bowl or individual dishes. If you wish, layer in fresh raspberries and whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. (The mousse can be refrigerated for up to a day.)

Serves 5-8, depending on the size of the servings.

Answer 12

crepes.

2 large eggs

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1 cup flour

3 tablespoons melted butter

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp vanilla

put it all in a blender for 10 seconds. then stir by hand a few times, to pop some of the bubbles. heat a pan on medium low heat, grease the pan with butter. put a little batter in (just enough to cover the pan in a thin layer), move the pan around to spread the batter, then cook for 30 seconds. flip, then cook for another 10 seconds. then transfer it to another pan.

the first crepe doesnt work out very well, but the ones after that should work.

serve with ice cream, chocolate sauce, maple syrup, fruit, etc.

the kids would have fun putting their own toppings.

if you want a different syrup, you can make your own.

1/3 cup fruit juice (or 1/2 cup liqueur or rum- its ok for kids, the alcohol evaporates easily while cooking)

and 2 or 3 tablespoons brown sugar.

put the sugar and the liquid in a small saucepan. heat to boiling, then reduce to low heat. add about half a stick of butter, keep stirring, it will thicken. then pour over crepes and icecream
