150 g dark chocolate 70%
150 g dark chocolate 54% or higher
11 cl of cream with
20 g of honey
20 g inverted sugar
20 g glucose
20 g of butter
100 g cocoa powder
2 x medium saucepans
1 x large saucepan
digital thermometer
1 large ball
whisk
Boil the cream to 70-80°C with the honey, glucose and inverted sugar. Chop the 70% chocolate finely. Pour the cream over the chocolate on 3-4 time and mix whisk in between with a whisk until a homogeneous mixture. Once the emulsion is done, add the butter at 36°C and smooth in the blender. Pour the ganache into a large ball, let it set overnight or till harden a bit between 14-20°C.
Touch the ganache if its fit to roll by hand, then start the operation, roll it and place the centers at 14-20°C for 24 to 48 hours till become hard like a rock and then start enrobing it with dark chocolate of 54% or higher.
The more you let the center set the smoother it becomes with strong flavors. If you boil the cream over 88°C it will burn the chocolate.
