Is this is a dessert to die for, or one of the truly great incentives for living?
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup finely chopped, toasted almonds (optional)
  • 3 T. cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup amaretto liqueur
Instructions
  1. Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add egg yolks to the mixture and beat well. (It will begin to thicken.) Add cream cheese and amaretto and mix until smooth. Cover and chill until firm, about 1 to 2 hours.
  2. Shape mixture into 1 1⁄2-inch balls; roll in almonds or other topping of your choice.
  3. To serve, pour about 2 tablespoons amaretto into a wine glass. Place truffle in the glass and top with whipped cream.

A Convenient Way to Consume Mass Quantities
Ingredients
  • 532.35 cm3 gluten
  • 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
  • 4.9 cm3 refined halite
  • 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
  • 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
  • 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
  • 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
  • Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
  • 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
  • 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)
Instructions
  1. To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation.
  2. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogenous.
  3. To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.
  4. Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston’s first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.

Tempura batter is used for fried dishes, popular in Japan. For the lightest, fluffiest batter use ice cold sparkling water just before frying. Use an oil, such as cottonseed, that’s low in saturated fats for frying vegetables without even a hint of oily taste! This batter is perfect for frying shrimp, chicken, vegetables, and other delights. Try them with one or more dipping sauces such as a creamy ranch or Ascension Cafe’s own Awesome Toasted Sesame and Mustard Sauce.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup cold, sparkling (carbonated) water
Instructions
  1. Heat oil (see notes) in large frying pan or wok to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Sift together the dry ingredients and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the egg slightly and mix with the cold sparkling water.
  4. Stir in the dry ingredients.
  5. Dip shrimp, chicken (fat free and chunky-cut ), and or vegetables into the batter and fry, a few at a time, until golden brown.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove from oil and drain on baking racks.
Notes
Oils that are low in saturated fat are generally healthier to consume, but they have a low flash point. This means they will smoke or ignite at lower frying temperatures. If your eyes become irritated, or you otherwise sense that the oil is producing smoke, lower the temperature. If you are frying vegetables, shrimp, and chicken, fry the vegetables first and the chicken last. Even when well trimmed, there will always be some amount of chicken fat that transfers to the oil.
