Red Hot Venutians
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 1 14 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 2 ounces white chocolate
- Heat cream and cayenne pepper in small saucepan over medium to medium-low heat.
- Do not let boil.
- Chop and melt chocolate (for filling) over double boiler (If you're a beginner, a double boiler is just a bowl containing the chocolate over a saucepan with water in it.
- The steam from the water heats the chocolate evenly and smoothly.
- Make sure there is some space between the water and the bowl, and do not allow too much steam to escape.
- If the water condenses and falls back into the chocolate, it will become gritty.
- ).
- Just before boiling, pour the cream into the chocolate and stir well.
- Remove from heat and let sit for about two hours.
- Beat with an electric mixer until the chocolate becomes stiff.
- Pipe the chocolate onto a parchment-paper lined baking sheet (the shape should be similar to that of a hershey's kiss).
- Refrigerate the chocolates until firm.
- Chop and melt the bittersweet chocolate over a double boiler (for dipping).
- Dip each chocolate into the melted chocolate to coat.
- Refrigerate until solid.
- Chop and melt the white chocolate over a double boiler.
- Dip just the tip of each chocolate into the white chocolate.
- Refrigerate and serve.
