For this recipe you will need a pastry bag and a 1/2-inch plain tip. Ingredients:
9 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened) |
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
4 teaspoons instant espresso powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
Directions:
1. Break chocolate into small pieces. In a food processor pulse together chocolate and butter until chocolate is finely chopped. In a small saucepan whisk together cream, espresso powder, and salt and bring just to a boil. Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate mixture and pulse until smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Let mixture stand at cool room temperature until just firm enough to pipe, about 2 hours.
2. Oil a large baking sheet and line with parchment paper.
3. Transfer chocolate mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe mixture onto baking sheet to form 1- by 1-inch cones, or kisses. Chill kisses, uncovered, until firm, at least 3 hours, and up to 1 day.
4. Into a small bowl sift cocoa powder. Working with 1 kiss at a time, roll in cocoa powder to coat. Kisses keep, in one layer in an airtight container at cool room temperature or chilled, 2 weeks.
