Prep Method 6

  1. 1.Cut the bacon into lardons and render in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. 2.Whisk the cream and milk into the rendered bacon and fat in several additions and bring to a rapid boil. Set aside to infuse for one hour. Season with the salt and pepper.
  3. 3.In a deep saucepan, bring the maple syrup to a boil and cook to 250°F (121°C).
  4. 4.Stream the bacon-infused cream mixture into the cooked maple syrup while whisking. Bring the mixture back to a boil while whisking continuously.
  5. 5.Combine the chocolate, cocoa butter, and honey in a bowl large enough to accommodate the entire recipe. Strain the hot bacon-maple cream over the chocolate mixture. Allow to stand for one minute, then emulsify until smooth.
  6. 6.Cover the surface of the ganache with plastic wrap. Allow to rest at room temperature until it reaches 78°F (26°C). The cooled ganache should have a thick, yet fluid consistency to properly fill bonbon shells.
