6ounce heavy cream 1ounce fresh ginger 1 Whole lime grated fine 1ounce inverted sugar 1ounce softened unsalted butter as needed Caramelized Crunch Toppings - Almond Brittle Crunch - 30# carton	Bring the heavy cream, ginger and lime zest to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove it from heat and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes. Strain the cream mixture through a fine mesh chinois and then reheat it to near the boiling point. Place the Barry Callebaut® milk and bittersweet chocolate callets into a large bowl. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until well combined. Stir in the invert sugar and butter. Spread the ganache out onto a firm acetate sheet to a thickness of approximately ¼ inch. Place a sheet of acetate on top of the ganache. Allow it to crystallize overnight. Remove the top layer of acetate. To ensure easy enrobing, coat the surface of the ganache with a thin layer of tempered chocolate or melted cocoa butter. Cut the crystallized ganache into desired shapes then enrobe them in the tempered Barry Callebaut® bittersweet chocolate. Immediately position a piece of gold leaf on top of each bonbon. Then position a small square of acetate on top of the gold leaf so that it covers approximately 50% of the surface of each bonbon. Decorate the unexposed surface with some of the American Almond® almond brittle crunch.
