Add eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition just until combined. Heat a kettle of water to boiling on the stove (4-6 cups). In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second increments until just melted. Fold the melted chocolate into the cheesecake filling until combined.
1. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until very steamy and just about to boil. 2. Meanwhile, chop the chocolate and place it in a medium bowl. 3. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and set aside for 5 minutes, allowing the chocolate to melt from the heat of the cream. 4.Making the mirror glaze. 1. Cocoa and water first – In a saucepan, whisk the cocoa powder and water to make a slurry / paste. I found this to be the easiest way to dissolve cocoa powder without whisking/mixing too much (which will create bubbles and ruins the finish of the glaze). 2. STEP 3: Add Chocolate. Add chocolate and let the mixture stand for 3 minutes without stirring. This allows the heat of the cream to soften the chocolate while bringing down the temperature of the cream. If you are over eager and whisk too soon, the heavy cream will be too hot and result in a gritty texture.
Place your chocolate coins in a heat-proof bowl. Then, pour the hot cream over the coins. Add the glucose or corn syrup to the mixture. Stir with a whisk or a spatula until the mixture thickens. This will create a glossy and thick ganache. Let cool to just slightly over room temperature before using.fIy5rQ0.
