Chocolate Stiletto
Black Label Toffee
Mignardises
Method
Chocolate Stiletto
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased stiletto-shaped mold or a cake pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly gooey.
Cool and Serve
Allow to cool before carefully removing from the mold. Serve on the dessert platter.
Black Label Toffee
Prepare the Toffee
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture boils.
Cook the Toffee
Continue to cook, without stirring, until the toffee reaches a deep amber color (about 300°F or 150°C on a candy thermometer).
Add Chocolate
Remove from heat and quickly stir in chocolate chips until melted. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt before cooling.
Break and Serve
Once cooled, break into pieces and arrange on the dessert platter.
Mignardises
Arrange the Mignardises
On the dessert platter, artfully arrange the mini macarons, petit fours, and chocolate truffles.
