Recipe Step by Step
Step01
Intense Alpaco Ganache
560g Whipping cream
135g Glucose DE 60
75g butter
578g ALPACO 66%
102g ALPACO PURE PATE 100%
Heat the cream with the glucose to 165-175°F (75-80°C), then combine half with the chocolate fèves and the chopped PURE PASTE. Mix well with a spatula then add the rest of the cream mixture, and mix using an immersion blender to form a perfect emulsion. Once the ganache is at 95-105°F (35-40°C), add the cubed tempered butter, which should be at approx. 65°F (18°C) and mix again. At 95-100°F (34-36°C), pour the ganache into a frame, to a height of 8mm. Leave this mixture to set until it has the perfect texture for piping.
Step02
Cocoa Nib Crisp
300g GRUE DE CACAO
5g fleur de sel
70g Muscovado sugar
In a food processor, gently mix all the ingredients together to break the nibs and fleur de sel into smaller grains. Sift the mixture to remove any powder – You should be left with lots of small pieces.
Step03
Pre-Coating Truffle Mixture
400g ALPACO 66%
80g BEURRE DE CACAO
Melt the ALPACO chocolate with the COCOA BUTTER. Mix thoroughly and leave to set.
