Make the Milk Chocolate Caramel Ganache
STEP ONE
Warm cashew milk over low heat and infuse with vanilla bean. Stir in glucose syrup until dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
STEP TWO
In a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat, add sugar in small amounts, allowing sugar to melt before adding more. Continue stirring until sugar melts completely and begins to caramelize.
STEP THREE
Once sugar temperature reaches 193°C, carefully arrest mixture with vanilla-infused cashew milk. Return to a boil, stirring continuously in one direction, until mixture has thickened, and reaches 104°C.
STEP FOUR
Remove from heat and strain caramel through a sieve, into a heat resistant bowl or container. Cool caramel to 80°C (176°F), stir in chocolate, and blend with an immersion blender.
STEP FIVE
Allow to cool until the temperature reaches between 35°C and 40°C. Add butter and use an immersion blender to thoroughly combine. Once ganache reaches 32°C, transfer to a piping bag and fill prepared chocolate molds.
STEP SIX
Once filled, set at room temperature for 24 hours. Close bonbons and chill for 30 minutes before releasing from mold.
