Ingredients
  

  • 375 g Toscana 70% Amedei Dark Chocolate

  • Place the whipping cream, muscovado sugar, blackcurrant puree and stout in a saucepan and heat until it comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat.

  • The ganache will seem quite runny, but it will set to a silky smooth ganache that is perfect for spreading.
