beef tallow chocolate tortes with bourbon-salted caramel sauce

Try this flourless chocolate dessert recipe with one special ingredient, Beef tallow. Let's not forget to mention the Bourbon-Salted Caramel Sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup beef tallow
  • 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
  • 1/3 cup cinnamon cream run liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • BOURBON-SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE
  • 1 sup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, additional for garnish

Directions

  1. Melt beef tallow and chocolate in small sauce pan over low heat. Remove from heat; stir in rum and vanilla. Set aside 10 minutes to cool.

    Cook's Tip: You can find beef tallow in the baking section of your grocery store.

  2. Whip eggs and sugar in stand mixer on medium high speed 5 to 7 minutes until frothy. Lower speed and slowly drizzle in warm chocolate mixture.
  3. Preheat oven to 275°F. Coat eight 6-ounce silicone cups or glass baking dishes with cooking spray; evenly divide batter. Bake in preheated 275°F oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cake middle doesn't jiggle. Let cakes cool completely before turning out.

    Cook's Tip: You may use a parchment-lined 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray instead of individual molds. Increase bake time as needed.

  4. Meanwhile, heat sugar in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. When sugar edges start to turn a caramel color, slowly stir with wooden spoon for 5 to 7 minutes until all sugar has dissolved. Slowly and carefully add cream, bourbon and salt. Mixture may bubble and spit; stir until combined. Lower heat and cook an additional 10 minutes until sauce is smooth and thick. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
  5. Drizzle Bourbon-Salted Caramel Sauce over cooled cakes. Garnish with sea salt, as desired.
