Three Chocolate´s Drum

Recipe #375077 | 2 hours | 25 min prep | add private note

Last week I was visiting a very good friend of mine gourmet restaurant and I had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful chocolate dessert in its matchless feeling on the palate and its presentation. Its base is the ganache, which is considered the essence of truffle. It is a French term, although its origin is discussed. It is believed that the ganache came about 1850, some say it comes from Switzerland and others who invented the pastry Siravdin in Paris. Combinations that can give the ganache are endless, but here I present you the original recipe of the chocolate dessert that I could enjoy and now you. Although it is a gourmet recipe, their preparation is quite simple. As decoration, your imagination is the limit.
