Description

A delightful dessert featuring glossy ganache, fresh berries, and airy whipped cream with chocolate shards.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mixed berries
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat 3/4 cup of the cream until just steaming. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl, let sit for 1 minute, then stir until glossy to create ganache.
  2. Let the ganache cool slightly.
  3. While ganache cools, whip the remaining 1/4 cup cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  4. For crisp shards, melt a few extra chocolate chips, spread thinly on parchment, chill until hard, then snap into pieces.
  5. Assemble the dessert by scattering berries on a plate, spooning warm ganache around them, adding a dollop of whipped cream, and topping with chocolate shards and mint leaves.

Notes

Ensure not to overheat the cream to avoid a grainy ganache. Use ripe berries for the best flavor.
