Yield 12 turtles

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces dark semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 ounces heavy whipping cream
8 ounces sugar
2 ounces water
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
4 ounces heavy whipping cream
6 ounces cashews, dry roasted, salted
16 ounces dark semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Heat the first heavy cream in a small sauce pan.
  • Bring to a simmer and remove from heat.
  • Place chocolate chips in a stainless steel bowl.
  • Pour hot cream over chocolate and stir with a rubber spatula.
  • Place paper muffin cups into a muffin pan. Pour ganache into paper cups ¼ inch thick.
  • Top with toasted cashews and cool in freezer.
  • For the caramel:.
  • Heat the second cream in a small pan up to the boil.
  • Shut off heat and keep warm.
  • In a large sauce pan, combine sugar water and lemon juice and cook to a medium caramel color. Be extremely careful -- this will be 'very hot'.
  • Remove from heat and carefully add the hot heavy cream.
  • Stir until a smooth caramel.
  • Caution, use a cooking vessel much larger than necessary because the hot caramel will boil up and could splatter.
  • Allow to cool to a honey like thickness.
  • Spoon the caramel on top of the cashews. Place back in freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove paper cups and place turtles on a wire rack.
  • Melt dark chocolate and spoon over turtles.
