Bourbon Country Bliss

Man in Kentucky says, “Lets make-out and wait for something to bake!”

and I say, “You got it, Sir!”

Its time to cook and cuddle, Kentucky style with chocolate. Are you ready?

Bourbon and Brown Sugar Flourless Chocolate Torte, a.k.a Bourbon Country Bliss

What you’ll need:

  • 1/2 lb of the best dark chocolate your lunch money can buy (70% cacao or greater)
  • 2 sticks of butter, yummmm
  • 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup of Bourbon, yummmm

Man in Kentucky and I love to cook and we love to cuddle. We also like one-uping really great recipes we find on the internet, like this one . To celebrate our good friend’s 31st birthday we made our Brad a badass flourless chocolate torte (I’m naming it “Bourbon Country Bliss“).  To make it our own and one-up Forkyou (and make it fitting for Kentucky), we substituted the white sugar for brown, and the frangelico for Bourbon.

Its easier than pie to do and the best thing, next to a lover, your lips will touch this November.

Here is how you do it, simple as can be:

A Whole lot of Chocolate, Butter and Eggs

Part 1: A Whole lot of Chocolate, Butter and Eggs

Part One:

Break up chocolate into slivers and chunks and melt with all your butter in a double boiler (fancy term for pot inside a bigger pot of boiling water). Take off heat and dump in your pile of brown sugar and then whisk in one delicious free-range egg at a time until you got six brown shells sitting on your counter top.

Part 2: Whisk, Bake and Eat

Part 2:

Whisk and mix until well combined and then sift in your cup of baking cocoa slowly. (This is the most labor intense part of the job requiring strong forearms with great endurance, so recruit a man do it if you can). Add the bourbon and mix well.  Pour another shot into separate glasses for you and your cooking partner. Set aside for one minute. Lick the spoon you are cooking with four times and then dump mixture into a buttered pie dish with parchment paper on top. Bake for 50 min on 350.

Go to the couch and sit on your lovers lap and sip on bourbon and his lips until you hear the oven ding.

Ding! Take out your delicious Bourbon Country Bliss and return to couch with lover for a 20 minute make out session (torte needs time to cool).

Just before things get too hot and heavy, pull yourself away for a slice of the best chocolate delight of your life. Beware, chocolate is an aprhodisiac and this recipe may cause you or your lover to spontaneously combust.

Whether your baking with a lover or not, give it a go and tell me what you think. It’s just as sexy, and perhaps even more decedent for one as it is for two.

p.s. Can you tell I’m mildly enjoying myself here with my Man? I’m full-on in my own Bourbon Country Bliss! :)
