Lisa’s B 52 Chocolate Shots February 23, 2008

I don’t think I need to introduce these too much.  I changed the original recipe a little by not adding the orange zest.  The cordial cups were a bit tricky to make, but it was fun trying it out.

Lisa’s B 52 Chocolate Shots

(Recipe from:  Lisa Patrin, www.foodnetwork.com)

1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

6 oz chopped Semisweet Chocolate

1/3 Cup Bailey’s Irish Cream

18 Cordial Cups (you can either buy or make these.  I made them and followed these directions.)

Bring the heavy whipping cream just to a boil in a small saucepan, remove from the heat.  Whisk in the semisweet chocolate until smooth.  Whisk in the liqueur.  Place in a medium size bowl and refrigerate for about 45 to 50 minutes until chilled but not firm.  Using an electric mixer, beat ganache until thick and semi-firm (cover mixer with towel when doing this to prevent a splatter fest).  Fit a pastry bag with a size 6 round tip and fill with ganache.  Pipe ganache into chocolate cordial cups, fill almost to the top.  Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator in a covered container until ready to serve.
