ESPRESSO-HAZELNUT BITTER CHOCOLATE BARK



ESPRESSO-HAZELNUT BITTER CHOCOLATE BARK image

Categories     Chocolate

Yield 3/4 Pound

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 ounces (about ½ cup) raw hazelnuts
½ ounce (¼ cup) espresso beans
½ pound bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 2. Spread out the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast until well browned and fragrant, about 10 minutes. (The skins should look nearly burned.) Put the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub briskly to remove the skins. Coarsely chop the nuts. Lightly crush the espresso beans with a rolling pin. 3. In a double boiler set over low heat, slowly melt 6 ounces of the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth. When the chocolate is completely melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 ounces chocolate until it melts. 4. Pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it to a ¼-inch thickness with a spatula. Sprinkle the hazelnuts evenly over the surface. Repeat with the crushed espresso beans and the sea salt, if desired. Refrigerate, uncovered, until completely hardened before breaking the bark into rough pieces to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: Use a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for the best flavor.
  • Tempering the chocolate is essential: This process helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Get creative and use your favorite nuts, seeds, dried fruits, or even candy bars as toppings.
  • Be patient: Espresso bark takes time to set, so be patient and let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces.

Conclusion:

Espresso bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a decadent dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give espresso bark a try.
