Dark Chocolate Mint Bonbons - Tutorial

Описание: The Dark Chocolate Mint 🍫

Dark Chocolate Shell - Dark Chocolate fresh mint ganache

These beauties are for a custom order I did and damn are they good!

The mint for these was actually picked up of my back garden and it is a lovely strong mint flavour! 😍👌🏼

The ingredients for these bonbons is:

1:1 ratio of dark chocolate and cream
Sprig of mint
10% butter
10% invert sugar

5 ingredients!

Anyways, for these bonbons I started off by using tempered cocoa butter and creating a little finger swoosh, because obviously it needs to be green 😉

Before that I splattered the mould white and then back Uo the swoosh with white too!

Then I temper by dark chocolate, which was a nightmare in this heat but i managed it!

To create my Ganache i boiled the cream with the mint leaves, then instead of draining the mint straight away i poured it into the chocolate with the cream!

This is a strange move but allows the mint to keep on infusing and give it a deeper flavour.

Then I strained the ganache at the end when it was all emulsified!👌🏼

Finally, to cap them I heated the shells slightly with my hairdryer! This is to create a perfect seal with the shells and leave no cracks for ganache to leak out of!

What do you think of these??

How could I improve them?

Let me know in the comments! 👌🏼
