Wow, I literally have two blocks of dark 70% chocolate at home! What a coincidence! ^_^ This video came at such a great time haha. Thanks Nami for creating the video!

It's so good when heavy cream is included in the dark chocolate. :D Melt in your mouth... ENJOY!

Thanks for this, Nami! It is everywhere here in Hokkaido but now I can try doing this when I go home. I always love Royce’s Nama Chocolates and bring a couple of boxes back as omiyage but always not enough. The New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido has the Royce Chocolate World (factory, museum, shop, and bakery) and you can see how they manufacture the chocolates although I still have to try the chocolate bar bread!

Attempted making this today only for my chocolate to seize melting and ended up with a soil like consistency. Discouraging, but I ended up fixing it. We will see how it turns out. Despite being an easy recipe chocolate melting is extremely prone to error. I used 78% dark chocolate, maybe that’s what made the difference.

Look at her Green Tea Chocolate recipe. White chocolate has a much higher fat content so you need less cream. I made them without the matcha or butter and they turned out great! It's essentially white chocolate ganache, just thicker.

Def trying this... With umeshu 😎

[@ImpRoll92]

So I tried this recipe, it's a bit heavy so one might want to make small chocolate bits. Also, a tablespoon of liquor hasnt been enough to taste it for me (maybe b/c it was not a liquor but umeshu...). It's a easy recipe, I recommend trying it! :)

[@DariHina]

Thanks for the great video, what quantity of dark chocolate is used for 200 mg of whipped cream?

[@rachelho149]

Well, i think it's called chocolate truffles by western people but they make it in a ball shape.

[@cyrareginapongcol577]

Hi! 🤗 I am still starting to learn making chocolate truffles. I wonder if the ratio you used makes the chocolate ganache firm enough? Like not the sticky type and easy to melt type? Also.. is it okay to replace whipping cream to full cream? Thank yooooou!!! ❣️

[@kimberlyakt8931]

Hi Nami. I tried making this recipe with 88% cacao (300 grams) and 45% fresh cream (200ml) and my chocolate came out lumpy. I was wondering what I can do to improve myself? Did I add too less fresh cream? Too high cacao level chocolate? Thank you!

[@vuongt7964]

Same problem:(

[@jaclynjaye9416]

I lived in Japan for fourteen years and I truly miss bakeries there. It’s ruined me and my ability to eat sweets or pastries here in America.

[@syara2907]

After we serve it, can place at room temperature? Is it melt?

[@artofersuke]

I tried this recipe 2 times already, and mine didn't get hard as much after putting it in the fridge for 5 hours. Can someone explain why is it like that?

[@rajeshalphanso7274]

Even I tried ... it didn’t become hard...also it was sticking to the Paper

[@seemtobeasecret]

Hi. So, what is the solution? Do we have to put gelatin to make it nonsticky?

[@ameenhussain4167]

So i see that this recipie does not have butter So make sure ur using cream that has minmimum 40% fat Also equal quantities of cream n chocolate give it a stable structure

[@tr_thealien]

I want to add cheese as well. Is it possible to do so? And how much will I have to add? Do I have to adjust the amount of heavy cream as well?

[@zellecastro2141]

Hello. Mine also melted very quickly. It doesnt look as hard as yours when i removed it from the fridge. Im using Beryls bittersweet. Is it better if I use Van Houten Intense dark?

[@-l485]

Zelle Castro the thing with chocolate recipes is, the quality of chocolate speaks volume and especially on recipes with simple ingredients like this, the quality of the chocolate makes hella lot of difference between heaven and yuck. If you can, use decent quality chocolate, i think these days, callebaut is pretty easy to get, and affordable. (Theres also other brands of good quality chocolate like varlhona, cacao barry, and even the professional Lindt line, depending on where you are) Definitely do not use cheap chocolates like beryl and van houten for this 🙅‍♀️😔 (i speak as a professional chef) Also, they are meant to melt and it’s not suppose to be hard. It should be like a soft fudgy texture

[@artofersuke]

same problem here, I already did this recipe 2 times now. I also use the same chocolate as you

[@-l485]

@@artofersuke as i have replied to the OP, use a different chocolate. cheap chocolate is cheap because it doesnt have a lot of actual chocolate (this beryl and van houten are called COMPOUND CHOCOLATE and it mixes some percentage of cocoa with VEGETABLE OIL and SUGAR which is why it is so cheap. its okay to use them in stuff where they arent the star ingredients/have other ingredients) because they dont taste as good and oft times gritty REAL chocolate are made with cocoa mass and COCOA BUTTER (not vegetable oil). why they are expensive is because cocoa butter is an expensive ingredients. and real chocolate for baking, for making chocolate, especially, SHOULD NOT CONTAIN any other kind of lipids except cocoa butter. the intensity, fluidity, and taste are affected by how much of it is in it. again, get a proper brand (refer to my other comment in this thread) and go for at least a 60% cocoa (callebaut 54% can work here too) dark chocolate if you want it to set properly. in chocolate recipes where the ingredients are simple like this, the quality of the chocolate matters, you pay for what you get. also do not boil the cream, use a thermometer to measure when heating. the temperarure of the cream when u are heating should be around 80 celcius. add soften butter instead of using hard butter out of fridge. this also matters because boiling is splitting the cream creating diff texture. lastly, if u live in a hot and humid country, it will definitelt melt faster but soft immediately right out of the fridge is not right.

[@BigBoss-cy4gd]

I tried to make it and it taste fantastic. But the chocolate can't be frozen. I already follow the recipe step by step (besides the whipping cream, i used the light one instead the heavy one). Any tips and advices?

[@anishiigpr4600]
