Ingredients for - Theo Chocolate Mint Ganache
How to cook deliciously - Theo Chocolate Mint Ganache
1 . Stage
Wash and finely chop mint leaves. Bring cream, honey, and vanilla bean to a simmer; add mint. Cover and remove from heat. Allow to steep for 30 minutes, then strain and discard mint. Measure remaining liquid and add fresh cream to make 6 ounces.
2 . Stage
Reheat cream mixture to steaming and pour over chocolate. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes. Begin to stir together chocolate and cream, continuing until the chocolate is fully melted. Add butter in 1 tablespoon increments, stirring after each addition to incorporate.
3 . Stage
Once butter is fully incorporated, allow ganache to sit for a few minutes. Stir again, gently, until the mixture is thickened, glossy, and about room temperature.
4 . Stage
Pipe into small kisses on a parchment-lined sheet and allow to completely crystallize, ideally for several hours or overnight. (To speed the process, ganache kisses may be refrigerated for a short period of time). Once firm, the kisses may be rolled/shaped into truffles and tossed with cocoa powder or dipped in tempered chocolate (or rolled in nuts, coconut….let your imagination be your guide!)
5 . Stage
Alternatively, ganache may be spread in a small pan lined with parchment and allowed to crystallize as a solid shape. The ganache may then be cut into desired shapes prior to coating/dipping.See all recipes and cooking videos from Chef Donald Link. Find more recipes and food photos on Delish!
