Pin Recipe
Ingredients
8
ounces
high quality dark chocolate
,
finely chopped (58-65%)
⅓
cup
heavy cream
¼
cup
cold brew concentrate
½
teaspoon
vanilla extract
1
tablespoon
cold unsalted butter
Cocoa powder
,
tempered chocolate or melted candy melts, for coating
Instructions
Place the chocolate in a medium sized bowl.
In a small saucepan heat the heavy cream, cold brew and vanilla extract over medium-high heat until it comes to a full simmer.
Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
Add the butter and stir until completely melted.
Refrigerate the ganache until fully set, for 2 hours.
Using a 1 tablespoon-sized scoop, portion the ganache.
Roll the mounds into balls, refrigerating as necessary if the ganache becomes too soft to work with.
Coat with tempered chocolate and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan until set.
Store in the refrigerator. Allow to sit out for 1 hour before serving.
