Method

Flourless Chocolate Cake

  1. 1

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, melt dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a pot of simmering water until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, cayenne pepper, and salt until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool before serving.

Miso Caramel Ice Cream

  1. 4

    Prepare Caramel

    In a saucepan, combine sugar and a little water, cooking over medium heat until it turns to caramel. Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream, milk, miso paste, and vanilla extract.

  2. 5

    Make Custard

    In another bowl, whisk egg yolks. Gradually add the warm caramel mixture to the yolks, whisking continuously. Return to heat and cook until slightly thickened.
