This week's Tuesday with Dorie recipe is all about chocolate - it is a frozen dessert called Marquise au Chocolat.
Butter and dark chocolate are mixed with egg yolk, sugar and cream to create a very rich, dark ice confection:
I quartered the recipe, and to give you an idea of how rich this dessert is, even a quarter of the recipe uses roughly 100g of chocolate.
This dessert was probably a little too rich for my tastes, but if you like your chocolate, deep, dark and rich, this is the dessert for you. I took the leftovers to my friends at work and they loved it.

I do love a marquise - so rich you can feel it coating your mouth in chocolatey goodness!
I absolutely LOVED this - totally my kinda thing! Kudos to you for 1/4ering the recipe - minifying rules! (though it looks totally like a normal sized one in your pic!)
As soon as I saw that decandence, Gaye, I just knew those lucky co-workers of yours were going to be in heaven!!!
Oh gosh, It may even be too rich for me and I do love my chocolate!
Thanks for sharing, Gaye...
P.S. I tried the over baked risotto. It was soooooo goooood! I even mentioned it in my lates post:) Thanks again...
It does look very rich but very delicious indeed! Perhaps served in very thin slices ;)
This was very rich and very good. Our teenager did not have any problems with big slices since he loves choclate. I liked smaller slices and will use wild berries with it next time. Yours look very good and like a normal size must be a small plate. :o)
Loved this! Yours looks so dark and delicious!
Mark was loving every bite of this. You know my answer. :-) Yours looks really dark and chocolatey. I don't know the differences in chocolate so I just had Mark get what he thought he would like to eat and it said 60% something or other. Anyway, yours is much darker, so that probably means much richer, rght? Nice job.
It was a lot of chocolate! At least it's easy to reduce this recipe. I thought it was rich too.
I adore chocolate, and found this dessert absolutely wonderful! Truly decadent and delicious! Yours looks lovely!
I loved that you quartered the recipe and that your Marquis has a slightly marbled look to it. I think that adds to the presentation! And yes, omg, so rich!
It was very rich and chocolatey, perfect for chocolate lovers!
This looks truly decadent! The perfect dessert for a chocolate fix! : )
Wow, 400g of chocolate for the full recipe is a bit mind blowing!! I'm glad you found some rich dessert / chocolate lovers to enjoy it.
This was such a great dessert, and so delicious. It is rich, but for chocolate lovers, it's perfect.
My son agrees with your sentiments on chocolate. I on the other hand think the more chocolate the better. I bet your coworkers were happy. See you Friday.
Yes, lots'o chocolate! I had a whole handful walking out of the grocery store. Your cake turned out beautiful and I love the marbling it has!
I do love chocolate; the darker, the better! What lucky co-workers! I'm sure they were more than happy. :)
