Ingredients

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons grappa, plus more for serving
Pinch of kosher salt
3/4 cup cocoa powder
Clementines, amaro, bourbon, and/or dark rum (for serving)

Instructions

Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl.
Bring cream, salt, and 2 Tbsp. grappa to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
As soon as bubbles begin to form at edges of pan, remove from heat and pour over chocolate.
Let sit 3 minutes to let chocolate melt.
Whisk (or blend with an immersion blender if you have one) until emulsified and smooth.
Scrape into a shallow bowl or pie plate.
Let ganache cool; cover and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
Place cocoa in a medium bowl; set out on table with ganache and some spoons so guests can drag spoons across chocolate to make curls and toss in cocoa.
Serve with clementines and amaro.
