Cinnamon Ganache Bites

This is a fool-proof ganache recipe, but I added ground cinnamon to give it a festive vibe! I think it’s the perfect little accompaniment to serve alongside a coffee at the end of an evening when entertaining friends or loved ones over the festive season. 

Chef Tips:

• Do not allow the cream to boil: you will not only lose moisture due to natural evaporation, but you risk burning the cream which will ruin the flavor.
• Finely chop the chocolate and butter as small as possible: this helps them melt quicker for a smooth and glossy ganache that won’t split.
• Glitter spray, like gold or silver cake spray, can be purchased online or found in the cake decorating aisle at your supermarket.

Equipment

• Wire Whisk
• Medium Saucepan
• Parchment Paper
• 8×8 Glass Baking Dish
• Mixing Bowl
• Ceramic Knives
• Ground Cinnamon
• Vanilla Extract
• Granulated Swerve Sweetener
• Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter
• 85% Dark Chocolate

Ingredients

  

• 5.3 oz dark chocolate 85% cocoa, chopped into very small pieces
• 1.8 oz unsalted grass-fed butter diced into small cubes
• 6.3 oz heavy double cream
• 3 TB Swerve confectioners’ sweetener
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Gold edible cake spray optional to garnish

Instructions

 

• Place the chopped chocolate and diced butter into a medium bowl.
• Grease and line the base and sides of a 6-inch baking in (like a brownie dish) with baking parchment paper.
• Add the cream, sweetener, vanilla, and cinnamon in a saucepan and warm through over medium-high heat. Whisk well to combine and leave to simmer until you see tiny bubbles.
• Once you see tiny bubbles, immediately pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl of chocolate and butter and use a small spatula to mix well until you have a smooth, glossy dark brown mixture, ensuring all the chocolate and butter have melted into the mixture.
• Tip the glossy mixture into the prepared baking tin and leave to cool for 15-20 minutes. Once cooled, cover and leave in the fridge to set completely.
• When ready to serve, spray with the gold cake spray (if using), then use a sharp knife to cut into 16 equal-sized squares. Serve alongside a cup of coffee at the end of a festive get-together!
