• 1 whole egg<br />
• 2 yolks<br />
• 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate (66-<br />
74% cacao)<br />
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened<br />
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract<br />
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk<br />
• 1/2 cup heavy cream<br />
• 1/3 cup brown sugar<br />
• 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder<br />
• 2 tbsp. cornstarch<br />
• 1/3 tsp. ground cinnamon<br />
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper<br />
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt<br />
In a small heatproof bowl, whisk<br />
together the egg <strong>and</strong> yolks, set<br />
aside. Place chocolate, butter,<br />
<strong>and</strong> vanilla in a food processor<br />
(don’t turn on). In a medium pot<br />
over low heat, whisk together<br />
milk, cream, brown sugar, cocoa,<br />
<strong>and</strong> cornstarch <strong>and</strong> cook until<br />
it begins to boil. At that point,<br />
it will start to thicken; when it<br />
does, immediately pull off the<br />
heat.<br />
Pour a little of the hot cornstarch mixture into the<br />
eggs, stirring constantly, then whisk the eggs back<br />
into the pan with the remaining cornstarch mixture.<br />
Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until<br />
mixture just returns to a bare simmer.<br />
Immediately pour into the food processor <strong>and</strong><br />
blend until very smooth. Pour into individual bowls,<br />
teacups, or 1 large decorative bowl. Cover with plastic<br />
wrap <strong>and</strong> refrigerate until firm <strong>and</strong> cold. Garnish with<br />
whipped cream, shaved chocolate, <strong>and</strong> cinnamon.<br />

• 1 box phyllo dough, thawed<br />
• 1/2 lb. melted butter<br />
• 1 lb. nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios),<br />
chopped<br />
SYRUP<br />
• 2 cups granulated sugar<br />
• 2 cups water<br />
• 2-3 drops lemon juice<br />
Make the syrup. Bring the sugar, water, <strong>and</strong><br />
lemon juice to a boil <strong>and</strong> cook about 15<br />
minutes over medium heat. Let cool.<br />
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take the<br />
phyllo dough <strong>and</strong> layer one by one on a<br />
sheet pan or cooking tray. Spread melted<br />
butter on each layer until you’re done with<br />
half. Spread the chopped nuts on top of<br />
the phyllo surface evenly. Cover the nuts<br />
with another layer of dough <strong>and</strong> keep<br />
spreading melted butter on the layers<br />
of remaining dough until the last sheet.<br />
Leave in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.<br />
Remove <strong>and</strong> cut the baklava shape of your<br />
choosing. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until<br />
