Prep Method 6

  1. 1.Melt the chocolate and cocoa butter in a bowl large enough to accommodate the entire recipe.
  2. 2.In a saucepan, bring the cream and vanilla to a boil. Add the zest and let infuse for 30 minutes.
  3. 3.Make a crème anglaise with the infused cream, egg yolks, and sugar.
  4. 4.Add the puree to the crème anglaise. Strain over the melted chocolate and cocoa butter, then emulsify until smooth.
  5. 5.Let cool slightly, then stir in the softened butter, followed by the kirschwasser.
  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.
