Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams cocoa powder
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Chop the dark chocolate finely and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and heavy cream. Stir gently until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter immediately.
Stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate and butter have fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add a pinch of sea salt and vanilla extract. Stir to combine well.
Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it starts to thicken slightly but is still soft enough to pipe.
Transfer the chocolate mixture into a piping bag fitted with a wide round nozzle or simply use a spoon.
Pipe or spoon small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Chill the pralines in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until they set completely.
Once set, sift cocoa powder over the pralines for a beautiful finish.
Store the pralines in an airtight container in a cool place for up to a week.
