Dairy, Wheat (Gluten-Free), Soy (Chocolate may contain soy), Alcohol (Rum)
Ingredients
150g dark chocolate (60% cacao)
200ml heavy cream
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Zest of 1 orange
3 tbsp dark rum
200g milk chocolate, finely chopped
Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer, then pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute before gently stirring until smooth.
Add the butter, orange zest, and dark rum to the chocolate mixture, whisking until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the ganache has firmed up, use a melangeur or food processor to process the milk chocolate into fine crumbs.
Scoop out the chocolate ganache using a small ice cream scoop, roll into balls, and then coat each one in the processed milk chocolate. Place on a parchment lined tray and freeze until firm.
Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.
