Featured in my paranormal romance novella, ANY WITCH WAY, the Grimaldi Ganache my heroine swoons over is based on this candy-bar-like pie which will make your sweet tooth moan and beg for more!I have a couple of pictures of it on Pinterest (click here for my author Pinterest site), but here is the recipe for your enjoyment!
Grimaldi's Ganache
featured as
Lily's favorite treat in ANY WITCH WAY
Ingredients:
Crust:
Pre-made 9" graham
cracker crust (make your own or store bought--I use Keebler's)
Ganache
Filling:
10oz Ghirardelli
bittersweet chocolate morsels (do not
use semi-sweet)
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
2 large egg yolks,
beaten
Sweet Topping:
2 3/4 cup mini
marshmallows
1 1/4 cup salted almonds
with skins, toasted
1/2 cup (or 4 oz bar)
Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
Directions:
Ganache Filling:
Melt 10 oz bittersweet
chocolate in double-boiler; keep warm. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring
cream to a simmer; remove from heat. Slowly whisk 1/4 cup heavy cream into the
beaten egg yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture into the remaining cream in
saucepan. Now whisk cream mixture into the melted chocolate. Scoop out one cup
and set both cup and saucepan aside.
Sweet Topping:
Coarsely chop the rest
of the bittersweet chocolate and combine in large bowl with mini marshmallows
and toasted almonds, and spread all but one cup of this candy topping over
bottom of pre-made graham cracker crust. Pour the saucepan of liquid ganache
filling over the top and refrigerate the pie for 1 hour, covering reserved
1-cup of liquid ganache and candy topping, and leaving them at room
temperature.
After 1 hour, remove
pie and top with remaining candy topping, then pour reserved 1-cup of ganache
filling over it all. Refrigerate for 1 hour, then enjoy!
