Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Dark chocolate, minimum 70% cocoa
- 100 g Raisins
- 120 ml Dark rum
- 20 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the raisins in a small airtight container and pour the dark rum over them. Ensure all raisins are submerged. Cover and let them soak for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight, for maximum flavor infusion.
Once the raisins have soaked, strain them and reserve a tablespoon of the rum. Set the raisins aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces, and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Set up a double boiler by filling a saucepan with a small amount of water. Bring the water to a simmer and place the heatproof bowl over the saucepan, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
Add the unsalted butter to the bowl with the chocolate and stir gently until both have melted and combined smoothly.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the reserved tablespoon of rum and the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Add the rum-soaked raisins to the chocolate mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
Line a baking sheet or a suitable chocolate mold with parchment paper.
Pour the chocolate and raisin mixture onto the prepared tray or mold, smoothing it out with a spatula to an even thickness.
Place the tray or mold in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set completely, which should take about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Once the chocolate has hardened, break or cut it into desired pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.
