Ingredients
Chocolate Ganache
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate (60% cocoa), chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Garnish
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Melt chocolate. Place the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) and stir gently until completely smooth and melted.
- Make ganache. Remove the bowl from heat, then stir in the heavy cream and unsalted butter until fully combined and glossy, forming a smooth ganache base.
- Add sugar. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly to incorporate and adjust sweetness to your preference for a silky texture.
- Form petals. Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of ganache onto parchment paper and use a spatula to spread and shape each into delicate petal forms.
- Add raspberries. While the ganache petals are still warm and pliable, gently press fresh raspberries into the center of each, ensuring they adhere nicely.
- Chill. Place the raspberry-adorned petals in the refrigerator for about an hour to set completely and firm up.
- Serve. Once set, serve the petals chilled, optionally drizzling with extra warmed ganache for an added luxurious finish.
Notes
- Use good quality bittersweet chocolate (60% cocoa) for the best flavor.
- Ensure raspberries are fresh and dry before placing to prevent sogginess.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a smoother ganache, warm cream and butter before mixing in.
- These petals make elegant finger desserts for parties and special occasions.
