Cooking With Maddux

Chocolate Covered Mango and Vanilla Ice Cream Bomb

Ingredients:

Two 1-quart containers vanilla bean ice cream
1 large ripe mango (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, pitted, coarsely chopped
11 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), chopped
1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream

Method:

To assemble the ice cream Bomb:

Allow 1 quart/ of vanilla ice cream to soften slightly until it is semi-firm and a spoon can be moved through it, being careful not to melt the ice cream completely. Spread the softened ice cream over the bottom and sides of a 2½-quart/2.3-liter stainless steel bowl so that you have a 1-inch layer of vanilla ice cream.

Freeze the stainless steel bowl of vanilla ice cream for 1 hour or until it is hard. Puree the mango in a blender until smooth. Using the back of a ladle, push the mango puree through a fine-meshed strainer and into a large bowl.

Soften the remaining 1 quart of vanilla ice cream then stir it into the mango puree. Remove the stainless steel bowl of vanilla ice cream from the freezer and spoon the mango ice cream into the center. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 3 hours or until the ice creams are completely firm.

Place a wire rack atop the bowl of ice creams, and invert the bowl onto the rack. Set the rack atop a baking sheet. Using a hot moist towel, gently wipe the sides and bottom of the bowl (the heat from the hot towel will allow the bowl to be easily separated from the ice cream.

Allow the ice cream to release from the bowl and fall onto the rack. Return the ice cream bomb to the freezer and freeze again until it is firm on the outside.

Meanwhile, to make the chocolate cover:

Stir the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it nearly simmers. Slowly stir the cream into the chocolate. Remove from the heat and allow the chocolate sauce to cool to room temperature.

Once the ice cream bomb is firmly set, remove it from the freezer and place it (still on the rack atop the baking sheet) on the counter. Working quickly, poor the room temperature chocolate sauce over the ice cream bomb, allowing it to drip down over the bomb and cover it completely. Be sure the chocolate sauce is at room temperature when you pour it over the bomb or else it will melt off of the ice cream.

Immediately return the chocolate-covered bomb to the freezer for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate covering is firm. Using a large palette knife, transfer the bomb to a serving plate. Cut into wedges and prepare for your guests to go crazy!

Not only can I PvP, but I am a legend in the kitchen as well.

lol Carp.

I never knew this was one of Maddux's talents. I'd still be suspicious, he is known as a Grandmaster Poisoner.

Hmm yes but Maddux on the forums he wouldn't serve us something that would be bad? Or haha maybe he does sense you did bring it up and you know him much better than I =P

Its Dip's fault I am the killer that I have become. I could have become a Legendary Crafter, but I will settle for just being a Legend.

Ok. There are lots of good cooks here who will maybe share a specialty or two. Here's a quick easy one that I love. It makes wonderfully moist roast chicken and the pan juices are great over mashed potatoes or rice.

Tuscan Roast Chicken

1 lemon, cut in half
1 package of fresh rosemary sprigs
6-8 cloves of garlic, peeled and lightly crushed.
salt
pepper
one whole chicken

Salt and pepper the bird inside and out. Stuff the cavity with the lemon halves, rosemary sprigs, and crushed garlic cloves. Roast, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1-1 1/5 hours depending on size of bird. Don't overcook, or you will evaporate all that nice juice. So easy but nice enough for company!

Anyone like Meatloaf?

2llbs Ground Hamburg 80 or 90% lean
4 eggs
about a cup of breadcrumbs
a handful of shredded American Cheese
half a cup of BBQ sauce
about 2 Table Spoons of Montreal Steak Seasoning from McCormick

Mix well by hand and form into "loaf," put into loaf pan, bake on 350 for 45min-1 hour.

There are other things you can add to taste like mushrooms, onions, etc. When adding anything solid like that, take care to make them into small pieces. Just makes it easier to handle and cook.
