Chocolate Hazelnut Gata with Ganache Filling
Chocolate Hazelnut Gata with Ganache Filling is a delectable dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. This Filipino delicacy is made with a combination of chocolate, hazelnut, and ganache filling that will surely make your taste buds dance with joy.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
For the ganache filling, you will need:
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the hazelnut spread and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the flour and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into balls. Flatten each ball into a disc and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
While the gatas are baking, prepare the ganache filling. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add in the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Once the gatas are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before cutting them in half. Spread the ganache filling on one half of the gata and top it with the other half.
The Chocolate Hazelnut Gata with Ganache Filling is a perfect combination of sweet and nutty flavors. The gata has a soft and fluffy texture, while the ganache filling adds a rich and creamy taste. This dessert is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
