  • Occassion and Cooking Style: Holidays and Events
  • Ingredients:
    • 250g good dark chocolate ( at least 70% cocoa) / broken into small pieces.

    • 250ml double cream

    • 50g unsalted butter / dice up and bring to room temperature (till it's soft
      do not let it melt)

    • 1/4 heaped teaspoon of instant coffee granules

    • cocoa powder to dust


  • Method:
    1. Put the cream into a saucepan and bring it up to boiling point.

    2. Put the chocolate and coffee into a mixing bowl and slowly pour the boiling cream onto the mixture. Gently stir until all the chocolate has melted, then leave to cool for approx 2-3 min.

    3. Add the butter lumps and continue to stir gently. When you are done the ganache should have the consistency of mayonnaise and not have a oil slick floating on the surface.

    4. Let your mixture cool for at least 3 hours in the fridge, or best to leave over night in a cool airy room.

    5. Make sure your hands are cool, then spoon a little bit of the mixture into your hand and shape to desired size. Finally roll the chocolate balls in some cocoa powder
