Yield: 1 Servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
¼ cup | Espresso beans |
1 cup | Heavy cream |
½ cup | Granulated sugar |
6 ounces | Bittersweet chocolate; coarsely chopped |
2 tablespoons | Unsalted butter |
1 teaspoon | Vanilla extract |
Preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the espresso beans on a baking sheet and roast for 5-10 minutes, just until you can begin to smell their aroma.
Remove beans and allow to cool. Place in a coffee grinder and grind coarsely. Place the beans in a small sauce pan with the heavy cream and bring to a boil, remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes.
Strain the heavy cream through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Return the infused cream to the saucepan with the sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate and butter and vanilla and stir until smooth.
Cover and keep warm until ready to use.
