It is Dessert Wars time again!! This month we had to come up with a recipe using
dark chocolate and hearts in honor of Valentine's Day. We don't love
dark chocolate so this one was a bit of a challenge for us...
but turned out great, you get a bite of the chocolate cake, smooth chocolate glaze
and top it off with a creamy orange mousse!!
We started with a Dark Chocolate Pound Cake from epicurious.com.
The recipes will also be posted on the printable link! Very moist.... if you are a dark chocolate lover, this is a must try!Make the chocolate glaze as well (sorry, I didn't get a picture of that!)to drizzle in the layers of your trifle.
Make your white chocolate orange mousse... whisk together milk and white chocolate
pudding mix. Add cool whip and orange zest! So easy! Love the white chocolate and orange together! Yum!
Starting layering.... cake, broken into chunks, drizzle of chocolate glaze, orange mousse and repeat until you end with mousse.
Top with a chocolate dipped orange and Enjoy!!
The prizes from the sponsors for February are:
Yum! I love trifles!!! Good luck with the challenge!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks to die for!!! I love dark chocolate and orange together.
