Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate
- 7 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a pan with a large bottom, slowly melt the sugar until it has a beautiful amber color.
- When the sugar is caramelized, slowly pour in the heavy cream while you keep whisking! This will cause the sugar to harden, but if you keep stirring over low heat, I promise that it will melt again.
- Add the salt and stir it in.
- Put the chocolate chunks in a heatproof bowl and pour over the HOT caramel sauce.
- Let it sit for a few minutes and carefully stir until it is all combined and you end up with a smooth ganache.
- Let it cool completely before covering the ganache and letting it set in the fridge for a few hours.
- When set, take the ganache out of the fridge and, with a spoon, scoop out little chunks of chocolate or about one tablespoon.
- Roll them between cold hands until they are the desired shape, and cover them with cocoa powder.
Notes
- You can also cover them with sprinkles of finely chopped nuts.
