Prep Method 7

  1. 1.Combine the chocolates in a bowl large enough to accommodate the entire recipe; set aside.
  2. 2.Dry-roast the espresso beans in a sauté pan over medium heat until aromatic, then coarsely crush the beans.
  3. 3.In a saucepan, bring the cream and crushed espresso beans to a boil; set aside to infuse for 30-60 minutes.
  4. 4.Strain the infused cream through a fine-mesh strainer, then rescale to the original weight.
  5. 5.Bring the infused cream back to a boil, then pour over the chocolates. Allow to stand for one minute, then emulsify until smooth.
  6. 6.Stir in the softened butter, followed by the liqueur.
  7. 7.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.
