Flourless Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Raspberries

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Raspberries


Diet, Schmiet. Some foods are worth breaking New Year's Resolutions - and this cake definitely fits the bill. Delicious, decadent, and drop-dead gorgeous, this cake is one of my favorite go-to recipes whenever I need the perfect finale for a celebratory meal.





Currant, Pine Nut, and Chevre Spread

This unique combination of ingredients, inspired by cheese balls sold in Paris delis, makes for a great easy appetizer. Serve with toasted baguette slices or your favorite crackers.

8 ounces Chevre or favorite soft goat cheese, softened
2 tablespoons Crème de Cassis liqueur
3 tablespoons dried currants
3 tablespoons chopped toasted pine nuts

Mix together the chevre and liqueur until smooth and creamy. Chill for an hour. Roll into a smooth ball. Place the currants and pine nuts on a plate or piece of waxed paper. Roll the chevre ball in the currants and pine nuts. Chill for at least two hours. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Makes 6 servings.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Chilling Time: 3 hours
