Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams milk chocolate
- 100 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams crushed nuts (such as hazelnuts or almonds)
- 20 grams powdered sugar
- 50 grams cocoa powder
Instructions
Chop both the dark and milk chocolates into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then stir gently until smooth and glossy to create a ganache.
Let the ganache cool slightly, then refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
While the ganache is chilling, prepare your coating by mixing the crushed nuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a shallow dish.
Once the ganache has firmed up, scoop small portions (about 1 teaspoon each) and roll them into cylindrical shapes, approximately 2-3 cm long, to resemble a 'bullet.'
Roll each chocolate bullet in the prepared coating mixture until evenly covered.
Place the coated bullets on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
Serve the chocolate bullets chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
