Instructions

Caramel

Weigh the cream into a small saucepan and add the cardamom oil, drop by drop. Heat and hold at 40°C (104°F).

Pour the water into a small saucepan, followed by the granulated sugar.

Cook the sugar-and-water mixture into a caramel (brush the edges with a little water to remove any sugar crystals).

Once the sugar is amber-colored, remove from the heat and deglaze with the warm cream in three additions. Stir thoroughly until you get a homogeneous mass.

Pour into a container, cover the surface with plastic wrap so the caramel doesn't dry out on top.

Let cool to room temperature and pipe about 2 grams (0.07 oz) into each bonbon shell.

Duja

Melt the milk chocolate to 45°C (113°F).

Add the nut butters and sea salt. Mix well.

Pre-crystallize (temper) the mixture and fill the rest of the bonbon shells. About 5 grams (0.18 oz).

Let the duja crystallize, then seal the bonbons.

Coffee in the Shell

To get a coffee flavor in this bonbon, we use finely ground coffee in the chocolate we cast the shells with. 1.5 grams (0.05 oz) coffee per 100 grams (3.53 oz) chocolate to be pre-crystallized (tempered). If you don't want to do this, you can add coffee to the duja instead. A little at a time, tasting as you go until you're happy with it.
