Instructions:
- Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat 1/2 cup of the heavy whipping cream (115g) until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate and let it sit for a minute.
- Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool and thicken.
- Finely chop the white chocolate and place it in another heatproof bowl.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (115g) until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let it sit for a minute.
- Stir until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool and thicken.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and continue beating until well combined.
- Mix in the flour and ground ginger until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough into two portions. Flatten each portion into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove one dough disk from the refrigerator. Roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Repeat with the second disk of dough.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Pair the cookies according to size and shape.
- Spread a generous amount of the dark chocolate ganache on the flat side of one cookie.
- Top with the flat side of another cookie to form a sandwich.
- Combine the espresso coffee with the white chocolate ganache, ensuring the ganache is smooth and slightly runny. You might need to gently warm the ganache to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the espresso-infused white chocolate ganache over the assembled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
- Allow the ganache to set before serving. For quicker setting, you can place the cookies in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Enjoy your Double Choc Ginger Creams with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea!
Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Bring all ingredients to room temperature before starting for a smoother mixture.
- Don't overmix the dough; mix just until combined to ensure a tender texture.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies maintain their shape.
- Use freshly ground ginger if possible for a more intense flavor.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding the chocolate cream to prevent it from melting and becoming too runny.
- Use a piping bag for more precise and even application of cream between the cookies.
