Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 c. organic heavy or whipping cream 35%
  • 5 tsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 c. chopped gluten-free dark chocolate 85% cacao
  • 1 tsp. raw liquid honey
  • Suggested Toppings:
  • sifted unsweetened cocoa powder Pitta-Kapha
  • unsweetened shredded coconut Vata-Pitta
  • ground toasted almonds hazelnuts, cashews, or pecans (Vata)

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, heat cream and butter over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. When the mixture reaches just below boiling (you will see tiny bubbles starting to form), remove from heat and add chocolate, stirring with a flexible spatula until melted and smooth. Let cool completely, then stir in honey.
  • Transfer to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until ganache is firm enough to roll into balls.
  • Place desired toppings on plates. Scoop out 1 tsp. ganache and mold into a small ball using the palm of your hand. Roll ball in a topping. Continue making balls, placing them in a single layer in an airtight container.
