Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Split the vanilla bean lengthwise & add it to the cream, together with the salt & ground coffee.
Step #2 Bring to a gentle boil, then continue boiing for one min.
Step #3 remove this from heat & let sit a couple mins, then strain through a fine sieve into a mixing bowl.
Step #4 Melt the chocolate (carefully).
Step #5 I use a double boiler, which is dicey enough.
Step #6 DO NOT use direct heat.
Step #7 Add the melted chocolate to the hot cream & whisk to mix.
Step #8 Add the liqueurs & mix, then add the butter & mix.
Step #9 If this is to be used for truffles, you need to freeze it overnight.
Step #10 For any other purpose, like a cake filling, I'd still put in the fridge it a good bit to let it firm up.
Step #11 Here's one I use for truffles.
Step #12 If you don't like coffee/mocha, omit the beans & substitute Cognac for the Kahlua.
Step #13 --.
