WALNUT CHOCOLATE, MIXED RAISIN AND BERRY DESSERT
Surprisingly enough, this dessert starts out with acorn base which is just a mixture of acorn flour and water that is boiled until gelatinous. It has a very mild, somewhat nutty flavor and as such takes well to flavorful additions.
Acorn base
Mix 3 T of acorn flour (available at some Korean markets) with 1/4 c water. Drop into 3 cups of boiling water. Mix thoroughly and continue stirring for about 8 to 10 minutes. When a little bit is dropped into cold water and it floats, it is finished. Mixture will turn dark.
Presentation
Pour mixture into 8 small bowls or ramekins, about 1/2 inch thick. To see which mixture you or your guests prefer, Mix 1/2 of bowls with shredded dark chocolate and walnuts, the other 1/2 with raisins and dried or fresh berries. Refrigerate. Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, soy ice cream or rice ice cream and a sprig of mint(not pictured).
