Allergens

Milk, Eggs

Ingredients

• 4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 8 German butter wafers
• Fresh raspberries for garnish

Instructions

1. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over low heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute before stirring gently until smooth.
4. Add the vanilla extract to the chocolate ganache and mix well. Allow it to cool slightly, then transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it's set.
5. In a chilled bowl, whip the cream with sugar until it forms soft peaks.
6. Once the ganache is firm, fold it into the whipped cream gently.
7. Assemble the Schokoschnitten by spreading a generous layer of the chocolate cream mixture on top of one wafer, then placing another wafer on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining wafers and filling.
8. Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve immediately.
