Dessert help
So, I'm hosting Thanksgiving -- no surprise, I always host, and I'm looking for an appropriate chocolate dessert. I've done this white and dark chocolate mousse chocolate cake before but I remember being underwhelmed by the cake and the white chocolate mousse has gelatin, a non-starter. I've tried this chocolate almond torte over the weekend and was underwhelmed with the flavor and it stuck in the pan and I had to toss it.
I've made this hazelnut malt tart which was OK, except for the malt and the milk chocolate. Dairy, gluten, and eggs are fine -- preferable even. Nuts are OK too. Gelatin is not. I would prefer if eggs were cooked as I prefer to avoid foodborne illness. I'm obviously fine with something with some complexity. Also, do you have an amazing lemon tart recipe you love? Let me know!
Also, I baked these over the weekend for the first time and really enjoyed them if you are fan of spicy ginger cookies. I didn't boil down the ale and used King Arthur boiled cider and so reduced the sugar a little bit. They were delish.
