Chocolate and Rum Ganache

Ingredients: Chocolate and Rum Ganache

Preparation: Chocolate and Rum Ganache

  1. Boil the cream, the inverted sugar and the sorbitol.
  2. Place the chocolates into a tall recipient.
  3. Once the cream preparation is boiling, pour it onto the chocolates and mix using an immersion blender.
  4. Add the rum and continue blending until completely smooth.
  5. In the meantime, use a damp towel to attach a plastic sheet to the metal tray and re-move the air bubbles.
  6. Place the chablon onto the plastic sheet. Pour precrystallized dark chocolate onto it and spread the chocolate out evenly using an offset spatula.
  7. Scrape the excess chocolate off.
  8. Gently remove the chablon and let set at 18-20°C (64-68°F).
  9. Pour the liquor ganache onto a stainless steel tray and spread it out to cool it down and to precrystallize it. Continue until obtaining a good piping consistency.
  10. Transfer the ganache into a piping bag with an 8 mm (0.31”) piping tip and immediately pipe onto the chocolate discs.
  11. Let set at 18-20°C (64-68°F) until firm enough to be dipped.
