  • In a medium saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream and champagne over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and remove from heat immediately.

  • Add the butter to the ganache, allowing the heat of the mixture to melt the butter as you stir. When fully combined, pour ganache into a separate container and allow it to chill inside the refrigerator for 45-60 minutes. Be sure not to allow the mixture to chill longer than 1 hour.

  • Towards the end of the chill time, begin to prepare your white melting chocolate by placing the wafers in another large boil for a stovetop double boiler set up.

  • Bring a pot of water to boil, occasionally stirring the melting wafers. When the mixture is almost silky smooth, add crisco and continue to stir. Set aside.

  • When chill time is complete, scoop the chocolate mixture using a 1 inch cookie scoop. Roll each scoop into a smooth, round ball using the palms of your hands and place on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper.
