Recently in Skills Category Chef Elizabeth Faulkner treated food bloggers to a special dessert creation called Night Flights to celebrate the Chocolate Adventure recipe contest from Scharffen Berger Chocolate and Tuttifoodie. With components that can be made ahead and stashed in the refrigerator or freezer, this is a company-worthy homemade dessert that can be done in a small kitchen. The simple parfait presentation belies its complex flavors, textures and temperatures. It layers: chili chocolate sauce, pandan coconut pudding, chocolate mousse, smoked salt cocoa nib streusel and chocolate ginger mint sorbet. The Chocolate Adventure contest, in its third year, challenges cooks to use Scharffenberger chocolate or cocoa in sweet or savory recipes in combination with at least one of the adventure ingredients such as pandan, black eyed peas and chili. And Scharffen Berger Chocolate is not shy when it comes to rewarding cooks for their creativity. The winning recipe in each of the two recipe categories -- Sweet and Savory -- receives a $10,000 prize. Read on for the Night Flights Recipe. enter the contest AT SCHARFFEN BERGER CHOCOLATE Skills
