Ganache
- 50 g heavy cream/whipping cream 30% or 36% fat
- 50 g dark chocolate finely chopped
Instructions
Preparations
- Prepare a muffin tin and line it with paper muffin liners. You can also cut squares of baking paper and line the form with them. Thanks to this, the muffins will have a more café-like appearance and they will definitely not stick to the paper cups.
- Turn your oven to 200℃
Wet ingredients
- Boil the milk and coffee in a pot. Reduce the heat to minimum, add 70g of milk chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts. Make sure that the mixture now is warm, but does not boil.
- Add cocoa powder and butter. Continue stirring until the butter melts, the contents of the pot become homogeneous and all cocoa lumps are gone.
- Remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Then add oil, 2 eggs, vanilla extract and mix well with a kitchen whisk.
Dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, mix well the flour, white and brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
Mixing
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Small traces of flour are fine. It is important not to overwork the muffin dough with mixing, otherwise it will become clumpy and dense.
- Pour the mixture into the previously prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle the top with a mixture of milk and dark chocolate drops.
- Place the tin in an oven preheated to 200℃ for about 20 minutes.
Ganache
- Heat the whipping cream in a pot and add the chopped chocolate. Remove everything from the heat and stir until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture nicely thickens.
- Transfer the cooled ganache to a pastry bag fitted with a filling tip.
- Fill the cooled muffins with chocolate ganache. If you don't have a pastry bag, simply spoon some of the chocolate ganache over the muffins.
