Ingredients
For the Ganache:
- 9 ounces (approximately 1 cup) of any Vosges Chocolate Bar or Vosges Baking Chocolate of your choice (62-- 72% cacao) chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk (we recommend organic and/or coconut milk)
- 1 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
- A pinch of pink sea salt
For the Cinnamon Sugar:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
Directions:
- Put the chopped chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
- Add the heavy cream to a small pot over medium heat and cover with a lid.
- Remove from the heat just before the cream comes to a boil.
- Pour the cream over the chocolate, cover the bowl with aluminum foil or a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Remove the cover and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add a healthy pinch of sea salt and 1 tsp of cinnamon and whisk once more.
- Let it sit and come to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap touching the surface of the ganache and place in the refrigerator to set for 1 hour.
- In the meantime, prepare you cinnamon sugar by adding sugar and 2 tbsp of cinnamon to a bowl. Use a fork or small whisk to combine, breaking up any clumps. Set aside.
- Bring the ganache out of the refrigerator and scoop tablespoon-size portions of the ganache onto a parchment-lined plate or tray.
- As you begin to full a plate or tray, place them into the freezer for 20 minutes and continue to make the remaining ganache.
- Remove the chilled ganache from the freezer and use your hands to roll each scoop into smooth balls.
