Ganache-filled chocolates

Ingredients

• 200 g dark melting chocolate
• 100 ml cream
• 50 g unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional)
• Silicone chocolate molds

Step-by-step preparation

1. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of hot water on medium-low heat (a double boiler).
2. In another bowl, heat the cream and butter until the butter melts completely.
3. Add the cream mixture to the melted chocolate and mix well.
4. Add the orange liqueur (if using) and mix again until smooth.
5. Pour the ganache into the silicone molds, filling them halfway.
6. Refrigerate for about 10–15 minutes, until the ganache has set.
7. Once set, pour an extra layer of melted chocolate over each mold, covering the ganache completely.
8. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, until the chocolate has fully set.
9. Once set, unmold the chocolates and store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until ready to serve.
