BURNT?! Roasted Chocolate Ganache

Hey there,

I tried the Ganache Recipe multiple times but the first step (roasting the cocoa) always turns out burnt. I already loweder the time and temp but it starts at 100C and after 10 mins.. Is it possible that the cocoa powder i use contains some sugar or other ingridients that start to burn. (Package thrown away ^^ )

thank you!

I tried roasting cocoa powder as described in the roasted cocoa ganache and gelato recipes, but for other purposes, and didn't like the results, though I wouldn't say it was burned, and I didn't experiment with shorter time and/or lower temperature.

An earlier post reported about roasting cocoa powder in a pressure cooker. Now, that I liked!

I've served this roasted a number of times (to about 15 different people over all) and not roasted as well. Only about 30% like the roasted but all liked the gelato the cocoa not roasted.
