1 large egg yolk

1/8 cup sugar

1 tsp all-purpose flour

Ingredients: Whipped Cream

1 cup whipping cream

2 tbls sugar

Directions: Cake

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Butter the 2 – 4 ounce ramekins and lightly dust the inside of each with cocoa powder, tapping out excess. Heat butter and chocolate in heat proof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water until chocolate is almost completely melted. Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk egg, egg yolk, and sugar until light and thick. Slowly add butter mixture to mixer, add flour and mix until combined. Divide batter between ramekins. Place on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Cook for 7 – 10 minutes – sides should be set and center soft.

Direction: Whipped Cream

Take whipping cream and whip it using an electric mixer until firm and creating peaks. Add the sugar and beat again.

Serve whipped cream aside the warm cake – dust cake with confectioners sugar if desired.

Paneer!

Half gallon Whole Milk and one lime is all you need. Bring the milk to a boil, then simmer down and add the juice of lime while stirring. You will see the milk part separating from water. Strain it and let it stand in the strainer for an hour or hour and a half. Now, dump the Paneer from the strainer onto a cutting board and cut small cubes out of it.

halve a couple lemons, dip them in sugar and pop them on the grill for a few minutes. Meanwhile, make a simple syrup by combining sugar, honey and a few sprigs of rosemary – which can and should be heated on the grill. Squeeze the charred lemons into a pitcher, add the syrup and dilute the juice with water to taste. Of course you can always bring it to the next level by adding vodka, rum, gin or even bourbon.
