The holidays are rolling around, so I figured I would add one of my favorite recipes into the mix for other people to enjoy. Here's what you need to make ice box cake:
Ingredients:
3-4 bars of German Baker's Chocolate
3-4 Eggs *Be sure to use the same number of eggs as chocolate bars*
2 Packages of Lady Fingers
1-2 Tbsp of Water
Steps:
1. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites.
2. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff, and then set them aside.
3. Melt the chocolate in a saucepan, but be careful not to scorch it.
4. Add water until it curdles. (Curdles: difficult to stir)
5. Remove chocolate mixture from heat and mix in egg yolks until the mixture is smoother.
6. Fold in egg whites, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
7. Line a bread-baking pan with wax paper.
8. Layer ladyfingers and chocolate
9. Chill in refrigerator and serve with whipped topping.
How to make Whipped Topping:
1. Blend whipping cream and 1 tbsp. Of sugar until stiff.
This is an old family recipe that has been a must have for my Thanksgiving dinners for as long as I can remember, and it works for any occasion. Don't be afraid to add your own mix of toppings to vary it up and be creative for the holidays, Enjoy!
