Instructions
  1. For the crust, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
  2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse sand. (Alternatively, pulse the dry ingredients with the butter in a food processor.)
  3. Slowly drizzle in cold water and stir gently until the dough is moist enough to stay together when squeezed. (Alternatively, drizzle cold water into food processor, pulsing a few times to combine.)
  4. Quickly press the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  5. When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350° F. Roll the dough out in between two pieces of parchment and then press into tart pan(s). Line crust(s) with parchment and fill with pie weights.
  6. Blind bake the pie crusts for 10 to 12 minutes or until the crust is cooked through. Remove the pie weights and parchment and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until the edges start to brown. Set the crusts aside to cool.
  7. Heat milk, honey, and the scraped vanilla pod in a saucepan until scalding. Whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla caviar (i.e. the scraped beans from the vanilla pod), salt, and cornstarch until smooth and pale. Temper the yolks with a little of the hot milk mixture. Whisk slowly. Continue adding the milk little by little, whisking until smooth.
  8. Pour the custard base back into the saucepan and place over low heat. Cook slowly, whisking continuously until thickened. The custard should come to a gentle boil.
  9. Remove the custard from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract. Fish out the vanilla pod and sieve to remove any lumps. Cover with plastic wrap and cool to room temperature.
  10. Pour the cooled custard into the cooled pie crust(s). Cover with plastic wrap and chill completely (about 2 hours).
  11. Set the tart out at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt on low speed until well combined. Add the eggs and the milk and mix on low speed. When the dough starts to clump together, remove the paddle attachment and attach the dough hook. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until it is firm and elastic, about 2 minutes more.
  2. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add half of the butter, a few pieces at a time. After all the butter has been added, increase speed to medium and mix for 4 minutes, until the dough is smooth, soft and shiny.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it by hand a few times and then form it into a ball Cover loosely with plastic and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  4. Pre-heat the oven to 375°F and butter a regular muffin pan. Turn the dough out, smooth top down, onto a clean work surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Cover the dough to prevent it from drying out. Roll each piece of dough into a tight ball, and then into a rod and moving it in a circular motion to form the shape above.
  5. In a small bowl, make the egg wash by beating the remaining egg and a pinch of salt. Lightly brush the top of the brioches. Bake until golden-brown, or about 18 minutes. Let cool before turning them out. Serve warm.

Recipe Notes

Original Recipe:  https://showmetheyummy.com/vanilla-bourbon-salted-caramel-sauce/

Total yield is 1 Cup.

Can replace with vanilla extract to make this kid friendly & gluten free.

*You'll know the mixture is boiling when you see lots of tiny looking bubbles and the mixture starts to rise. I started the timer a few seconds after the bubbles started and then it came to a full blown boil.

** If you get any “clumps” while/after cooling, just whisk until smooth again!

*** Caramel can be stored in the fridge for two weeks.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Wrap a well-greased 9-inch springform pan in two layers of heavy duty foil. Secure around the pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and sugar and then stir in butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the greased and prepared springform pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove onto a cooling rack. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in busts of 15 seconds stirring in between each burst for 10 seconds until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  3. In a very large bowl, beat the ROOM TEMPERATURE (must be room temperature) cream cheese and sugar until smooth at consistent low-medium speeds. Be careful to not over-beat. Beat in cooled chocolate and cocoa powder.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the eggs. Add them to the mixture along with the salt and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until JUST combined. Pour this mixture into the springform pan. Place the pan in a large baking pan and add 1 inch of BOILING water to the pan surrounding the springform pan.
  5. Bake the cheesecake at 325 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until center is just set and top is not shiny. Remove the springform pan from water bath and remove the foil. Cool the cheesecake on a wire rack for 10 minutes and then gently loosen the edges of the pan with a butter knife. loosen edges from pan with a knife. Cool AT ROOM TEMPERATURE for one hour and then transfer to the fridge (covered) and chill for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight).
  6. For the ganache: place chocolate in a small bowl with the butter and heavy cream. Microwave in bursts of 20 seconds, stirring in between each burst for 10 seconds until the mixture is smooth. Let stand at room temperature for an hour before topping the cheesecake with the ganache. Spoon the ganache into the center of the cheesecake (keep it about an inch away from the edge) and let sit in the fridge for an hour (or until the ganache is firmly set).
  7. When ready to serve, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a stand mixer. Beat on high until soft peaks form and then spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the cheesecake slices. Place a GODIVA Masterpiece on top of the whipped cream on each piece of cheesecake.
Recipe Notes

Here are some tips to make the perfect chocolate cheesecake:

  • Use ROOM TEMPERATURE cream cheese: room temperature cream cheese becomes creamier when it is mixed and it incorporates much better with the other ingredients in this recipe. If your cream cheese is too cold, it tends to stay lumpy in the batter doesn’t fully mix. You’ll also likely be tempted to over-beat the batter (which is no good for a cheesecake!) to get rid of the lumps. Quick tip to get room temperature cream cheese: remove the cream cheese from the packaging and microwave in bursts of 15-20 seconds until it is room temperature (not softened or melted at all) It’s also important when you are using room temperature cream cheese that you also use room temperature eggs.
  • Use a SPRINGFORM pan: a springform pan (a pan that has a spring to hold the sides of the pan in place) is the best for cheesecakes. Because of the final texture of the cheesecake it can’t be inverted from a pan (like your typical cake) and so the removable sides of the springform pan make it easy to keep the form and shape of the cheesecake. (Still make sure to generously grease your springform pan first).
  • Line your springform pan with FOIL: since this cheesecake bakes in a water bath (I promise it’s still easy!) you’ll want to line the outside in foil (I line it twice in heavy duty foil) to ensure absolutely NO water from the water bath seeps into your cheesecake.
  • DON’T OVERMIX the batter:  it’s important to mix the cream cheese enough to remove the lumps and to combine the ingredients sufficiently, but over-mixing the batter will introduce too much air into the mixture. Too much air will cause the cheesecake to rise too quickly in the oven and then fall (how you get cracks in your cheesecake). You also want to mix the cheesecake at low and consistent speeds to again reduce the risk of beating in too much air.
  • Bake this cheesecake in a WATER BATH: the water bath is simply putting your cheesecake into a larger baking pan that is filled with about an inch of water. Why use a water bath? The water helps to evenly disperse the heat which will help to ensure your cheesecake is evenly baked. You’ll also be able to avoid the cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool COMPLETELY at room temperature: It might not seem like a big deal to expedite the chilling process of a cheesecake and put it in the fridge right out of the oven, but it you do this, the cheesecake tends to get an ugly appearance on top. This appearance comes from condensation that forms on top of the too quickly chilled cheesecake. If you chill the cheesecake too quickly, you can also get some cracks on it.
  • Slice the cheesecake with a very sharp and HOT KNIFE: To get the perfect slices, you’ll want to use a large and very sharp knife. Run the knife under very hot water, quickly (but still completely) dry it off, and then make quick cuts to get a perfect chocolate cheesecake slice.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
  2. Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
  3. Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
  4. Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
  7. Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
Recipe Notes

They recommend a chocolate cream cheese buttercream frosting, but I initially used a white cloud frosting, a whipped honey buttercream, and a whipped chocolate buttercream on small, individual cakes.  I really liked the white cloud, which cake I also added a small layer of orange marmalade between layers.  Steve really like the whipped chocolate buttercream, and I also thought it was really amazing.  We both like the whipped honey buttercream as well, but it was sort of beaten out by the other two, but it's still amazing. The link to the original recipe with frosting is here:  https://thestayathomechef.com/the-most-amazing-chocolate-cake/

I like to make these as cupcakes - you should get about 50 cupcakes. 

You can also make this gluten-free!  I substituted the flour for Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Mix, so you have a 1:1 ratio to replace the flour, and substitute plain fat-free Greek yogurt for the buttermilk.  The only way you can tell the difference between the cakes with gluten or without gluten is if you have eaten them both.  it does turn out amazing!

To make it even better, I recommend filling the cupcakes with my Bourbon Salted Caramel Sauce, and frosting with my Whipped Chocolate Buttercream.  Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Use a stand mixer. It will change your life. You can make this using a hand mixer, but it just takes time. In a clean bowl (any grease on your bowl or utensils will ruin the icing, egg whites hate grease!), beat the egg whites and salt on high speed until foamy.
  2. With the mixer still running, slowly add the sugar. Beat mixture until soft peaks form (when you pull the mixer out of the white mixture you should get a little point that bends over).
  3. Bring the corn syrup to a boil over medium heat in a small saucepan. When the corn syrup comes to a boil, remove from heat. Slowly pour the hot corn syrup into the egg mixture while your mixer is mixing on high. Beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
