Foodie Friday:: For The Love Of Chocolate



Chocolate isn't just for Valentine's Day, but it sure makes that holiday sweeter. So today's post celebrates love - the love of chocolate. Some might call me a choco-holic, and that would be true. Thanks to Gabriella Eva Pirisi, the founder and pastry chef of the brand, MadCharlotte, I can get my chocolate fix via her Instagram feed, without indulging. She's one to follow, and to visit next time you are in Versailles, France. Above are a few examples of the magic she creates with chocolate. Until your visit to this exquisite Patisserie, make your own chocolate with this recipe roundup.

HERE: 14 Fabulous Chocolate Recipes

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake 
Strawberries and chocolate go together like PB & J. This recipe features both a chocolate crust and chocolate ganache. Just Yum!
Life, Love & Sugar

Chocolate Truffle Martini
Cheers to all of the chocolate lovers out there. Is this a cocktail or dessert? I think both. Dulce de Leche rum butter truffles have been added to the mix to make this cocktail chic!
Half Baked Harvest

Chocolate Coconut Raspberry Cake
Vegan and Gluten Free
I am not sure that I have ever seen a prettier cake.  And that Chocolate Coconut Ganache is well....the icing on 
the cake!
Heather Christo

Salted Dark Chocolate and Amaretto 
Pots de Crème
One of the most fabulous French desserts I have ever had. Second only to Chocolate Mousse, my all time favorite way to end a meal! The Amaretto puts this recipe over the top.
Williams Sonoma Taste

Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding
A custard based dessert (or breakfast) with a silky center and a crusty top.
Bakers Royale


Homemade Chocolate Truffles
Have you ever made a truffle? I have not, yet they are one of my favorite candies. My Mother made them so they can't be that difficult. Don't be intimidated, there's a wonderful video that you can follow along.
Sally's Baking Addiction

 Chocolate Fudge Pie
Oh my oh my! This will have to be made this weekend. The chocolate steals the show 
in this recipe!
Broma Bakery

Tricolor Chocolate Mousse
Contrary to what it might look like. This is not a cake, but rather three different colors and kinds of mousse. It's made in a springform pan! A must make for me.

Chocolate S’mores Cupcakes with Whipped Ganache Frosting
No fire needed for this decadent dessert. "These easy chocolate cupcakes are given a s’mores twist with a sweet marshmallow filling, graham cracker crumbs, and whipped ganache frosting!"
A Latte Food

Chocolate French Toast
I make a version of this. Let me tell you, it is the French Toast of your dreams. At least Mr. Shop This thinks so, at midnight after traveling all day. The bread is brioche.
Gourmet Traveller

Chocolate Hazelnut Caramel Tart
With a chewy crust and a silky filling, this tart promises to be over the top. The sea salt flakes really brings out 
the flavors.
The Seaside Baker


Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I recently tried a brown butter chocolate chip cookie recipe. Of course I can't find it now. However, browning that butter made all the difference in the world. I mean it is a game changer. Try it.
Baking The Goods

Chocolate Toffee Crunch Cake
To me there is nothing better than a really good slice of chocolate cake. What makes this cake different from the rest is the buttermilk and cinnamon simple syrup. And if you think that you could never handle the piped frosting, I am sure that it will taste the
 same without it.
The Cake Blog


German Chocolate Ice Cream
Here's German Chocolate Cake's frozen cousin. How good does this look? Once you start making your own ice cream, you will never want that preservative laden stuff in cardboard again.
