How to Make Nama Chocolate (Royce' Copycat Recipe)
Nama chocolate, which roughly translates to raw chocolate is a Japanese sweet made by melting chocolate with heavy cream and making a chocolate ganache, letting it set, cutting the final product into smaller pieces, and dusting them with cocoa powder.
