Recipe Secrets: How to Make Nunu Chocolate’s Absinthe Liquor Ganache
Blog Posts – By Liza de Guia on May 13, 2010
Justine Pringle from our Nunu Chocolates story was kind enough to share the recipe for one of their more popular chocolate products. Thanks Justine! And if you’ve never had Absinthe before, this is a good reason to start. As for the absinthe, I have a bottle of Lucid Absinthe that I’ve been chipping through and would recommend (some folks call it “beginner” absinthe). You can use this recipe to fill your chocolate molds, as an ice-cream topping, or even as cake icing. Enjoy chocolate-making!

NuNu Chocolate’s Absinthe Delight Ganache:
6 oz heavy cream
9.5 oz chocolate (we use a 53% dark)
3 oz invert sugar
1 tbs butter
3 tbs Absinthe

Break up the chocolate in a glass bowl, set aside. In a small saucepan slowly heat the heavy cream to just boiling around the edges, stir frequently. Immediately pour the cream, gradually, into the chocolate, add the tablespoon of butter, the sugar and Absinthe. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and glossy. Cool in a plastic-wrap covered baking dish. That’s it!
