Recipe Instructions

Bring the cream, glucose, blueberry purée and butter to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to a temperature of approximately 95°F (35°C).

Add the tempered milk and dark chocolates to the cream and fruit mixture and stirring to combine. To emulsify the ganache properly, it is best to use a hand blender. Submerge the blender head into the ganache before turning it on and blend the mixture until it becomes ultra smooth - approximately 5 minutes. Do not move the blender head out of the mixture during blending as it will result in air bubbles in your ganache.

Add the optional whiskey to the mass after you've emulsified your liquids and the chocolate together and emulsify a bit longer just to incorporate. Turn off the hand blender before removing it from the ganache.

Immediately pour the ganache into a parchment or Silpat™ lined baking sheet, spreading to the desired thickness. We suggest 2/3 to 1/2 inch (8mm to 12mm) thick slab. Let harden in a cool room but not in the refrigerator - overnight if possible.

Bring the centers to room temperature before cutting into squares and enrobing in dark couverture.

Stored between 60° - 68°F (16°C - 20°C), the chocolates can be kept up to two weeks.
