Prep Method 5

  1. 1.In a saucepan, bring the cream, juice, zest, and sugar to a boil.
  2. 2.Place the chocolate in a bowl large enough to accommodate the entire recipe.
  3. 3.Strain the hot mixture over the chocolate. Allow to stand for one minute, then emulsify until smooth.
  4. 4.Stir in the softened butter, followed by the alcohol.
  5. 5.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.
