Ingredients




10 ounces Semisweet chocolate, coarsley chopped or u
3/4 cup Strong brewed coffee
1 1/4 cups Sugar
1 1/2 stk unsalted butter at room temperature
5 Eggs
1 ounce Dark rum or coffee liqueur, (optional)
2 pints Heavy, (whipping) cream

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 5 1/2" x 9" loaf pan. In double boiler, melt together chocolate, coffee & sugar over low heat. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Turn mixture into a medium bowl, and with an electric mixer, add butter until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time. Add rum now, if using it. Pour mixture into the loaf pan; bake 1 hour until the mixture is puffed & cracked. Cool to room temp on a rack, then refrigerate overnight. 2 To serve:In a bowl, whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks. Use an ice cream scoop & shape the chocolate into balls. Fit a pastry bag with a star tip & pipe each boule with a coating of whipped cream. 3 *LAZY WAY TO SERVE********** 4 Skip the whipping cream. Buy the aerosol stuff or the tub. Have everyone scoop out what they want & squirt the whipped stuff on. 5 Tastes every bit as good if you aren't worried about presentation.
