    Talking The Chocolate Decadence Thread - for genuine chocoholics!

    Feral had the brilliant idea of starting a decadence thread So this is for all the serious chocoholics! Share anything chocolate-related....news about the benefits of chocolate, recipes, cartoons, jokes, or just your blissful experience when you're in the middle of eating chocolate

    *blushes with false modesty at the recognition*

    I have to confess hubby is at football tonight and I am being kept company by a bar of G&B's cherry.

    Looking forward to some chocolate recipes

    OOh what a great thread. Ok off the top of my head. Chocolate mousse: Melt some Green and Blacks cooking chocolate in a bowel over a saucepan of boiling water. Add soya cream and sugar (if u want) and some liqueur if u want. Whisk it all up and pour into small bowels before putting in the fridge to set. MMMM!!!!!!

    Oh, that mousse sounds great I have a different variation for mousse:

    Melt 12 oz. chocolate chips over a double boiler (as Saucy described)
    Get a container of non-dairy whipped cream (I think it's 12 oz too)
    Add 1 or 2 tbsp. raspberry liquer
    Mix all the ingredients very well
    Put into individual cups (wine glasses work great)
    Refrigerate for about 2 hours
    Enjoy!!!

    Mmm mm mmmm I just know this thread is gonna be so bad for my butt!

    Ok here's mine.

    Melt your favourite chocolate.
    Mix in seeds, crushed/flaked nuts and raisins.
    Spread the mixture onto a sheet of greaseproof paper.
    When set, cut into bite sized chunks.
    Put into the freezer.
    When the call of the chocolate gets too much eat straight from the freezer, lasts much longer and you're getting the goodness of the seeds etc

    I would have happily married you Feral, but you are very quick to go off with Saucy minx face vegan just because she offered you chocolate. I could have offered you chocolate

    Ps I cant eat chocolate any more since being vegan it gives me terrible headaches I do crave it though. I shant come here anymore though

    I dont know if it does, but I have checked the ingredients on an actual bar.

    Also in the Galler shop in Antwerp, the lady serving confirmed they dont use dairy products in the Dark chocs.

    Actually dark chocs, are supposed to be of higher quality, and regarded as the best chocolate.

    I have been meaning to try this recipe for the longest time now but I keep on forgetting!

    Chocolate Mocha Fondue
    In a small saucepan set over low heat, stir in 1/2 cup of strong coffee with 3 tbsp sugar until dissolved. Stir in 8oz (225g) chopped semi-sweet chocolate (Tigerlily Note: I think chocolate chips would work too) and 2 tbsp vegan margarine. Stir often until smooth and hot. Then stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Pour into a bowl, dip your fruits, etc in.
    Peace, love, and happiness.

    CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA CAKE

    230g raw sugar
    8 tbsp cocoa powder
    1 tsp sea salt
    3 cups wholewheat flour
    2 tsp baking soda
    2/3 cup canola oil
    1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    400ml cold water
    2 tsp vanilla essence
    100g macadamia nut butter
    vegan chocolate frosting of choice (I use Sweet William Chocolate Spread)
    1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts

    1) Combine the sugar, cocoa, salt, flour & baking soda together in a mixing bowl, and mix well with a fork.
    2) Pour all of the wet ingredients (oil, water, vanilla & vinegar) over the mixture, and mix well using the fork. It is important not to beat it.
    3) Pour into two greased 9-inch springform pans, and bake at 350F/180C until a knife comes out clean in the centre. This takes between 35-45 minutes, but keep checking just in case.
    4) Cool the cakes down on a cooling rack. Once cooled spread one of the cakes with the macadamia butter liberally. You can make it as thick as you like. I like it thick
    5) Sandwich the other cake ontop of the one that has macadamia butter on it, and cover with lots of frosting.
    6) Sprinkle the macadamia nuts on top so it looks pretty.
    7) Binge

    This recipe was adapted from Leah Leneman's Easy Vegan Cooking.

    Ummm, Cherry, how do I melt a candy bar? I have some 80% dark chocolate bars. Can I just nuke them in the microwave? Maybe this isn't such a good idea?

    Microwaves are for losers :P

    I don't have a real bain-marie but I snap it up and melt it in a pyrex bowl over a pan of hot water.

    It's therapeutic to stir it as it's melting (mmmm chocolate) and has the added benefit that it can't burn. Oh yeh, and you don't need a microwave!

    I got rid of my microwave after reading up on all the scary stories about them. (Although it was supposed to be dairy that was worst affected by the waves, so I guess that's something!!)

    Now I need to talk about chocolate seeing as I'm here...looking forward to my parcel from Animal Aid which will contain LOTS of chocolate.
