Yes, I know it's not super original, but I made Easter chocolates. And neither more nor less than an adaptation of the recipe for pralines laminated last year, with minor modifications: no chocolate coating, no temper and no leaves transfer. In short: simpler, faster and cheaper ... I also added a few toasted almond powder and changed the amount of chocolate and pralinoise.
Result: chocolate pTet is less brilliant but it's just as good and crispy.
Well, all that to say that one can also make nice (and good!) Chocolates even when you have no equipment (except hand equipped with fingers, a fork, a bowl and a freezer bag .. .) or chocolate coating.
Chocolate praline pastry and almond
Ingredients:
- 160 g chocolate pralinoise
- 60 g dark chocolate
- 60 g gavottes (lace pancakes)
- 30 g almonds
- 100 to 150 g dark chocolate or white chocolate dessert (or half Half)
- Optional: white chocolate and / or black for the decoration
Grill orders powder (in a pan or microwave: spread on a plate for 2-3 minutes at max power, stirring 1 or 2 times).
Melt (bain marie or microwave) the pralinoise with 60 g of dark chocolate.
Cool a few minutes then add the crumbled gavottes.
Mix well and pour into a rectangle or square pan or small molds silicone ... Alternatively, you can also wait a bit and try to shape the dough into a dome using teaspoons (that's what I did). Allow to cure several
hours at room temperature if the refrigerator 30 minutes should suffice.
When the chocolate has hardened, depending on the option chosen, unmold and cut into squares or rectangles of desired size / or just turning out.
Melt the chocolate and / or white in a double boiler or microwave (medium power, stirring regularly).
RQ: If you want to temper the chocolate to have a well polished appearance, or if you are using chocolate transfers, the method is here .
Dip one at a praline puffs in melted chocolate and fish out with a fork (I then roll the chocolate on the edges of the bowl to remove excess). Glissser then leave them on a sheet or guitar rhodoïd or, alternatively, wax paper or plastic pouches.
Well, let yapuka harden the chocolate before serving (it may be possible to decorate the tops of the chocolates using a freezing bag that is filled with melted chocolate before cutting one end).
