Mini Chocolate Tower Recipe

Mini Chocolate Tower Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

   Chop the Parnassienne chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.

2. 2

   Heat the Cream

   In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.

3. 3

   Combine Chocolate and Cream

   Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

4. 4

   Cool the Ganache

   Allow the chocolate ganache to cool at room temperature until it thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Prepare the Berries

   While the ganache is cooling, wash the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries thoroughly. Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them in half.

6. 6

   Prepare Serving Glasses

   Select small serving glasses or dessert cups for layering the chocolate and berries.

7. 7

   Layer the Ingredients

   Start with a layer of the chocolate ganache at the bottom of each glass, followed by a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of ganache on top.

8. 8

   Garnish

   Dust the top layer of ganache with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

9. 9

   Chill and Serve

   Chill the mini chocolate towers in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the ganache to set.
