Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams crushed almonds or biscuits (optional, for garnish)
- 6 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Step 4
Whisk the mixture until it forms a smooth ganache. Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until completely incorporated.
Step 5
Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the fridge to chill for about 20 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
While the ganache chills, place half of the fresh raspberries in a small bowl with the granulated sugar. Gently mash them with a fork to create a raspberry sauce. Set aside.
Step 7
Once the ganache is thickened but still pourable, use a hand whisk or electric mixer to whip it until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes). Be careful not to over-whip.
Step 8
To assemble, layer the whipped ganache, raspberry sauce, and remaining whole raspberries into serving glasses or bowls. You can alternate the layers for a beautiful presentation.
Step 9
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of crushed almonds or biscuits for added texture, and a fresh mint leaf for a touch of elegance.
Step 10
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 hours before serving.
