Chocolate Marquise - Diabolique!

Chocolate Marquise

At long last, it’s finally time to spring our big dessert surprise on our Daring (and Darling) Bakers! May is just about time for fresh fruits and ice creams, but before we embrace summertime completely, we wanted to bring you an absolutely over-the-top chocolate dessert – just in time for summer (and any other chocoholic celebrations).

When the plates were cleared, we sat languidly at the table of the beach house, each rubbing his belly with satisfaction. Our annual trip to the coast was going well. We'd had a day of bright beautiful sun and with light streaming in the windows, and we'd cooked an Indian feast for our friends. It was time to cap off the night with something creamy to cool our palates.

Every summer as a kid my parents packed me off to stay with my grandparents in Waco, TX. You see, along with my uncle they ran a Chinese restaurant - the only one in town for 20 years, most of which I was toddling around in it. When I was about 13 or 14, my uncle got a moped and a scooter and after the restaurant closed at night, we'd tool around the neighborhood soaking in the cool air, stopping at the nearby 24-hour filling station for gas and ice cream.

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to go to Paris. My family's full of anglophiles, and dinners were opportunities to discuss the Tudors and Stuarts, Victoriana, and Gilbert and Sullivan. I went the other route, to the east. By the time I graduated college my romantic notions of the place were in full bloom. I'd studied French history, knew my art, and spoke passable book-French. The only thing left to do was go.
