After a healthy dinner of wholemeal rosemary chicken sandwiches at Cedele, my friends and I adjourned to Awfully Chocolate for awfully sinful desserts.
Best served warm, Awfully Chocolate's Super Stacked Chocolate Cake ($6.50 per 100g) features the company's signature All Chocolate cake smothered with six layers of fudge, each prepared from a different type of chocolate. My friend ordered this with a scoop of dark chocolate ice cream, and I regretted not following suit- the richness of the fudge layers was a little overwhelming when the cake was eaten on its own, but it made a great pair with the cold, creamy ice cream!
The Cold Poached Chocolate ($6.50 each) was equally indulgent. A liquid chocolate mix is poured into molds on a cold marble slab and left to solidify to form a circular base, with a texture akin to a rich chocolate mousse. The cold slab of chocolate is then topped with a generous drift of whipped cream lightly spiked with your choice of liqueur- flavors include Bailey's Irish Cream, butterscotch and Kahlua.
My friend and I shared a Cold Poached Chocolate with Kahlua cream, and while we both enjoyed it, we felt that the chocolate base was a tad too decadent for our palates. I guess this dessert is best suited for die-hard chocoholics!

I saw that cold poached chocolate! Now that you've described it, i regret that i didn't try :(
ReplyDeletethere's always another time! and i'm sure there're plenty of fine chocolate desserts in europe (:
ReplyDeleteIronically, Awfully Chocolate's normal chocolate cakes aren't quite awfully chocolate-y enough for me. But their Super Stacked Chocolate Cake is something else entirely. Love it!
