Macadamia Nut Chocolate Ganache

[Serves 6-8]

Tart:
6 oz Chocolate Wafers

5 tbsp Butter

2 tbsp Sugar

Ganache:

1 cup chopped Dark Callebaut Chocolate

1 cup chopped Milk Callebaut Chocolate

1 cup Heavy Cream

Garnish:

1 oz Macadamia Nuts

1/2 cup Whipping Cream

2 tbsp Icing Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla

3 Rosemary Leaves

2 tbsp Superfine Sugar

1 Piping Bag and Star Tip

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

Blend chocolate wafers in a food processor into fine crumbs. Stir crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Place into non-stick tart pan and bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes.

Place heavy cream into a heavy bottom sauce pan and heat. Transfer hot cream into a bowl with all of the Callebaut chocolate. Let the chocolate sit in the hot cream for 3 minutes before stirring into a smooth consistency. Place or pipe into the tart shell and cool in the fridge overnight.

In a bowl, add 1/2 cup of whipping cream, icing sugar and vanilla, and whip with a handheld blender until stiff. Use a piping bag to pipe onto the chocolate tart. Dip rosemary into the superfine sugar. Garnish the tart with rosemary and macadamia nuts.

Serve and enjoy!

White Table Tip: If you’re in a pinch, you can make superfine sugar from regular granulated sugar in a blender.
