Description

It's better to use 2 different types of dark chocolate — I use Lindt 70% and a classic chocolate. Instead of cognac, you can add another flavored alcohol or skip it altogether — it's a matter of taste. From the specified amount of ingredients, you will get about 25 candies the size of a small walnut. Store the finished candies in the refrigerator in a closed box (to prevent them from melting or drying out).

Ingredients

10% cream - 5 fl oz
Cognac - 1 tablespoon
Liquid dark chocolate - 7.1 oz
Cocoa Powder - 1 tablespoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the cream well (do not boil!!!).

Step 2

Add the broken pieces of chocolate to the heated cream, and stir thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained (the chocolate will initially melt in flakes).

Step 3

Add the cognac and mix.

Step 4

Let it cool for about 40–60 minutes — the mixture should harden so that you can shape the candies.

Step 5

Use a teaspoon to scoop the chocolate, roll it in cocoa. Put it back in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Dust the hardened candies with cocoa again (since the first dusting will be slightly absorbed into the candies) and shape them into a more rounded form.
