Steps

1 Molding
Ingredients
Preparation
  • Melt the Belcolade Selection Noir Intense Cacao-Trace chocolate to 45°C and temper it at 30°C. Use the molds to make filled chocolates and leave to crystallize.

  • Tonka bean 1/2
  • Fresh cream 35% 180 g
  • Glucose 100 g
  • Sorbitol crystal 15 g
  • Butter 15 g
Preparation
  • Warm up the cream with the grated Tonka bean, sorbitol and glucose to 85°C. Pour onto the Belcolade Origins Noir Ecuador 71% chocolate drops. When the ganache reaches 35°C add the cold butter and mix with a hand blender. Use the ganache at 30°C. 
  • Pipe the Tonka ganache into pre-molded dark chocolate shells and leave to crystallize for 12 hours with a relative humidity level below 60%. Close the mold with tempered chocolate. Demold.
