20 chocolate winter recipes to cheer you up

Winter flavors

If chocolate is sufficient in itself, it works wonders when combined with other flavors such as coffee, praline, chili pepper, black sesame, or other spices. In a semi-cooked version, fondant cake, chocolate tart, dessert cream, mousse, or spread, all the mixtures are imaginable.
In winter, we love the comfort of a chocolate sauce served warmed with churros, crepes, or a stack of pancakes. Another idea in keeping with the season: salted butter caramel sauce, which accompanies any chocolate and mousse cake. The Chantilly is not left out to soften the strength of the chocolate.

The right cooking

Most chocolate cake recipes contain dark chocolate, butter, eggs, sugar and flour. The result depends on the possible addition of other ingredients, the order of mixing, but above all on cooking. The shorter it is, the runnier the center of the dessert will be! We think in particular of the essential semi-cooked chocolate created by Michel Bras in the early 1980s, which still seduces crowds today and can be found on the menus of many restaurants. Is it still homemade? This is another debate… Good to know, to be sure to obtain the famous runny heart post-baking, you can insert one or two squares of dark chocolate in the heart of the dough in your muffin mold before baking. .
