Ingredients
0.5 cup plus 2 tablespoon Thickened Cream
0.25 cup Light corn syrup
2 tbsp Honey
255 gram 70% Cocoa chocolate-finely chopped
2 tbsp Bourbon
1.5 cups Pecans-toasted and finely chopped
2 cups Shortbread Biscuits-crushed into crumbs in the food processor
0.25 cup Caster sugar
Directions
- Place the chocolate in a large mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the cream, corn syrup and honey. Bring to boil then remove from heat.
- Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate. Let it stand for a minute while the chocolate is melting. Stir and make sure that the chocolate is fully melted.
- Stir in the bourbon, 1 cup pecans and the crushed shortbread biscuits.
- The mixture will still be rather runny and soft-looking. Chill for an hour in the fridge until the chocolate has firmed up.
- Add 1/4 cup caster sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup pecans in the food processor and pulse a few times. Make sure that the pecans are nearly ground and well-mixed into the sugar. Put the sugar in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
- Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of the chocolate and roll into a ball. Roll the chocolate ball through the sugar-pecan mixture, then repeat with the rest.
Notes
- Bourbon Pecan Bonbons are not suitable for freezing so better make just enough for eating.
