Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Soy-free dark chocolate
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Chopped hazelnuts
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chocolate shell. Break the soy-free dark chocolate into small pieces and place them into a microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat.
Using a spoon or a pastry brush, spread a thin layer of melted chocolate inside each cavity of a silicone praline mold or individual paper candy cups, ensuring the sides are evenly coated.
Place the mold or cups in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate shells to set.
While the chocolate is setting, prepare the filling. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped hazelnuts, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Remove the chocolate shells from the refrigerator. Spoon the hazelnut mixture into each chocolate shell, leaving a small gap at the top for the chocolate cover.
Re-melt any remaining chocolate if necessary, and spoon it over the hazelnut filling to seal each praline.
Chill the pralines in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until fully set.
Carefully remove the pralines from the mold or cups and store them in an airtight container, kept in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
