Ingredients

• ✓ dark chocolate chips
• sugar
• heavy cream
• corn syrup
• butter
• vanilla extract
• semisweet chocolate chip
• shortening
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. 2 Combine white sugar, 1/2 cup cream, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cream. Cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches 242 degrees F (117 degrees C), or until a small amount of the caramel mixture forms a firm yet pliable ball when dropped in cold water. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.
3. 3 Pour caramel mixture into the prepared baking pan. Allow to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
4. 4 Remove the baking pan from the refrigerator and allow caramel mixture to warm up slightly, about 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
5. 5 Combine dark and semisweet chocolate chips with shortening in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes.
6. 6 Cut caramel into 1-inch squares. Dip caramel squares in melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. Chill until hardened, about 1 hour.

Ingredients

• ✓ dark chocolate chips
• cocoa powder
• white sugar
• egg white
• salt
• baking soda
• baking powder
• cocoa powder
• all-purpose flour
• vanilla extract
• black coffee
• butter
• brown sugar
• egg yolk
• heavy cream
• heavy cream
• white chocolate chip

Instructions

1. 1 Place white chocolate chips and 3/4 cup heavy cream in a medium microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave at 50% power until chocolate is completely melted and cream is fully incorporated, about 2 minutes, stopping and stirring every 30 seconds. Cool to room temperature, 10 to 20 minutes, then refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Meanwhile, place dark chocolate chips and 3/4 cup heavy cream in a separate medium microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave at 50% power until chocolate is melted and cream is fully incorporated, about 2 minutes, stopping and stirring every 30 seconds. Cool to room temperature, 10 to 20 minutes, then refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours, to overnight.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12x17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper; grease baking sheet and parchment paper.
4. 4 Beat egg yolks and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in butter, coffee, and vanilla extract.
5. 5 Sift flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl. Add to egg yolk mixture; mix until just combined.
6. 6 Beat egg whites in a separate clean, dry, large glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer with clean, dry beaters on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until glossy and stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 egg white mixture into yolk mixture until just combined. Gently fold in remaining egg white mixture until no egg white streaks remain. Do not overmix.
7. 7 Pour batter into the prepared baking sheet; gently spread evenly.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until cake springs back lightly when touched, about 10 minutes. Do not overbake.
9. 9 While cake is baking, lightly sprinkle a piece of parchment paper slightly larger than the baking sheet with remaining 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
10. 10 Run a table knife around edges of baking sheet to loosen cake. Invert quickly and carefully, the baking sheet will be hot, onto the prepared parchment paper. Remove and discard parchment paper the cake was baked on. Working quickly, roll cake and cocoa-sprinkled parchment paper together, starting from a narrow end. Set cake, seam-side down, on a wire rack to cool completely, 1 to 2 hours.
11. 11 While cake cools, whip white chocolate (it will be soft-set) with an electric mixer, starting on low speed and working up to medium-high, until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 3/4 cup heavy cream; beat on medium-high speed until reaches texture of whipped cream, 1 to 2 minutes more. Spoon white chocolate whipped cream into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a 1/2-inch hole cut into a corner. Refrigerate filling until ready to use.
12. 12 Whip dark chocolate (it will be firm set) with an electric mixer, starting on low speed and working up to medium speed, until it crumbles and becomes lighter in color and texture, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream; beat on medium-high speed until smooth, light, and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes (dark chocolate mixture will be slightly thicker than white chocolate mixture). Add more heavy cream if necessary to achieve desired "lightness" and consistency of whipped mousse. Spoon whipped dark chocolate mousse into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a 1/2-inch hole cut into a corner. Refrigerate filling until ready to use.
13. 13 Gently unroll cooled cake; discard parchment paper. Pipe white and dark chocolate fillings in alternating vertical stripes (about 1/2-inch thick) along 12-inch side of cake until entirely covered, leaving about 1/2-inch border on all sides. Gently reroll cake over fillings (without parchment) as tightly as possible without breaking the cake until completely rolled up. Place on a serving platter. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.

Ingredients

• ✓ dark chocolate chips
• heavy cream
• vanilla extract
• butter
• dark chocolate
• irish stout beer
• water
• corn syrup
• white sugar
• salt
• vanilla extract
• butter
• heavy cream
• salt
• butter
• brown sugar
• pretzel

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
2. 2 Mix pretzel crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt together in a bowl until mixture resembles wet sand. Pour into the tart pan, and press very firmly and evenly up the sides and into the bottom of the pan.
3. 3 Place tart pan onto a baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow crust to cool completely in pan, about 30 minutes.
4. 4 Combine heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook until butter is melted and mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, set aside, and keep warm.
5. 5 Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a large light-colored saucepan with high sides. Cook over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until mixture is amber in color, 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and very carefully whisk in reserved cream-butter mixture, as caramel mixture will bubble up and steam; stir constantly.
6. 6 Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel reaches 245 degrees F (118 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully pour caramel into an even layer in the baked and cooled crust. Allow caramel layer to cool until set, 1 to 2 hours.
7. 7 Prepare the chocolate layer. Pour stout beer into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until stout has been reduced to 1/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Pour reduced stout into a large bowl. Stir in chopped chocolate, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla; set aside.
8. 8 Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until just simmering, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour over chocolate and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Carefully pour melted chocolate over the cooled caramel layer, making sure not overflow the pan.
9. 9 Use a toothpick to pop any air bubbles that may arise. Allow chocolate layer to cool and set up completely, 1 to 2 hours.
