Recipes to use up yolks?

For those of you that want to use up a bunch of yolks (or eggs for that matter), this is a fabulous recipe. I made it for Christmas dessert and it was a huge hit. Easy to make too. I did the cake mixture and the sauce mixture the night before. Vanilla ice cream is a must as well.

Chocolate Meltdown

Cake

3/4 cup unsalted butter
6 oz semi-sweet Chocolate
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 TBSP cornstarch
2 cups sugar
7 large eggs
7 egg yolks
1 TBSP orange liqueur

Chocolate sauce:

1/2 cup heavy cream
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp orange liqueur


For cake: Cut up butter and chocolate and melt with unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. Whisk together cornstarch and sugar in a stand mixer bowl. Stir melted chocolate into cornstarch mixture. Using the stand mixer on low speed, whisk in whole eggs, yolks, and orange liqueur until smooth. Put in a clean container and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line flat sheet pan with parchment paper. Butter and sugar 6 (I got 7) 4 oz ramekins and place on sheet pans. Fill ramekins with mixture all the way to the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes. They should not be set in the center and top should be slightly transparent. Cool to room temperature.

For chocolate sauce: Bring cream to a boil, then remove from heat. Add chocolate to hot cream. Stir until melted. Once the mixture has come together into a smooth sauce, add vanilla and orange liqueur. Cool sauce in refrigerator until solid. (refrigerate night before with the cake mixture)

Once the cakes have cooled to room temperature, use a tablespoon to place 1 scoop of chocolate sauce in the center of each cake where it has collapsed. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 more minutes until the sauce has melted in the center. Serve meltdowns immediately.
