EASTER ESSENTIALS

L’École Valrhona L’École Valrhona was created 30 years ago with the ambition of passing on outstanding skills, and it now extends right around the world thanks to its network made up of Campuses, Labs, and an online program. In Tain L’Hermitage, Tokyo, ParisVersailles and Brooklyn, the Campuses provide outstanding training so that chefs can develop their talent, make progress through interactions with others and, ultimately, push back the limits of their creativity. To ensure this expertise remains accessible right around the world, L’École Valrhona and its 30 pastry chefs have also developed a network of Labs in Europe and Asia. So that links with the Campuses remain strong, these Local Lab kitchens hold key skills workshops and training sessions that give everyone the opportunity to gain a better grounding in chocolate culture. L’École Valrhona has also gone digital so that all chefs can access chocolate- and pastry-making expertise at their

own pace and level. L’École Valrhona’s network gives chefs the chance to perfect and expand their understanding of chocolate culture, and it is made all the richer for being diverse. This means we can all continually learn, experiment and, together, imagine the best of chocolate. Go to www.valrhona.com

CARANOA 55%

Play around and have fun creating this highly original table centerpiece that kids will just love to devour! 4 


WHIPPED ALMOND & HAZELNUT PRALINÉ 1200g FRUITY 50% ALMOND & HAZELNUT PRALINÉ 400g BAHIBE 46%

Melt the chocolate at 115°F (45°C), then mix into the praliné. Temper at 75°F (24°C). Leave to set on a tray. Use a stand mixer with a flat beater to whip up the mixture, but make sure its temperature does not rise above 75-80°F (25-26°C).

CARAÏBE SPRAY MIX

90g COCOA BUTTER 210g CARAÏBE 66%

Melt the ingredients together. Strain before use. Temper the mixture at 80-85°F (28-29°C) so that when you spray it into your molds it will give your assemblies or art pieces a shiny finish. To give your spray mix a velvety finish, heat the mixture to 105-115°F (40-45°C) and spray it onto your frozen product.

ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING

SQ CARANOA 55% SQ DARK CHOCOLATE CRUNCHY PEARLS SQ CARAMÉLIA CRUNCHY PEARLS

Prepare the whipped praliné and use the dark chocolate to make a spray mix. Base: Spread some pre-set chocolate into a 6mm-high ganache frame. Before it has set, cut out 24 x 9cm rectangles. Leave to set. Use some pre-set chocolate to mold the Trio of Eggs Molds (18947). Drain the molds by holding them suspended over two rulers. Before setting is complete, trim away any excess, then use a toothpick to cut out an oval from eight half-eggs. Leave to set at 60°F (17°C) until the chocolate is ready to slip out of its mold. Stick the egg halves to the base by melting each one’s edges on a hot surface at 135-140°F (58-60°C) so that they seal firmly. Stems: Use a food processor to turn the chocolate into a modelling paste and form into small stems. Leave to set at 60°F (17°C). Assembly: Assemble the eggs on the base (see photo), spray on all the pre-set dark spray mix, then assemble the three final glossy eggs. Beat the praliné in a food processor, then pipe out using a piping bag and add a few Crunchy Pearls (Ref. 8425 – 4719). Plant the chocolate stems in the praliné, then stick on a few White Flowers - 2 Sizes (Ref. 16969) and Mini Green Leaves (Ref. 25816) (See photo).

CARAÏBE SPRAY MIX

300g COCOA BUTTER 700g CARAÏBE 66%

Melt the ingredients together. Strain before use. Temper the mixture at 80-85°F (28-29°C) so that when you spray it into your molds it will give your assemblies or art pieces a shiny finish. To give your spray mix a velvety finish, heat the mixture to 105-115°F (40-45°C) and spray it onto your frozen product.

DULCEY SPRAY MIX

Melt all the ingredients together then spray at a temperature of 105-115°F (40-45°C).

300g COCOA BUTTER 700g BLOND DULCEY 32%

ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING Coat half 13cm Smooth Egg Molds (Ref. 10846) with pre-set CARAÏBE. Turn over, leave the liquid to spread for a few moments, then smooth away any excess. Drain the molds by holding them suspended over two rulers. Before setting is complete, trim away any excess, then mold again. Tap the mold to obtain the thickness you require. Leave to set, trim again, then refrigerate for a few minutes or leave at a temperature of 60°F (17°C) until the chocolate is ready to slip out of its mold. Create a flat edge for your half-eggs by laying each one down onto a sheet of confectionery dipping paper covered with a layer of preset chocolate. Stick onto a Base Mold for 13cm and 17cm Molded Eggs (Ref. 18948). Coat the Facette Bar Mold (Ref. 20458) with pre-set DULCEY. Turn over, leave the liquid to spread for a few moments, then smooth away any excess. Drain the molds by holding them suspended over two rulers. Leave to set. Make the coconut and cookie praliné and weigh out 50g for each bar. Leave to set and fill in any gaps. Spray the half-egg with some pre-set CARAÏBE mix. Spray the bar with pre-set DULCEY mix. Stick the bar flush onto the half-egg’s flat edge. Finish off with your own Customized Logo Decoration.

ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING

SQ RASPBERRY INSPIRATION CRUNCHY PEARLS SQ DULCEY CRUNCHY PEARLS SQ CARAMÉLIA CRUNCHY PEARLS

Molding: Coat the molds with the different chocolates. Turn over, leave the liquid to spread for a few moments, then smooth away any excess. Drain the molds by holding them suspended over two rulers. Before setting is complete, trim away any excess, then mold again. Tap the mold to obtain the thickness you require. Once the chocolate starts to set, use a rabbit-shaped stencil and a toothpick to cut a rabbit shape into every other half-egg made using a 13cm Smooth Egg Mold (Ref. 10846). Leave to set in the refrigerator for a few minutes then at a temperature of 60°F (16°C) until the chocolate is ready to slip out of its mold. Spread some pre-set couverture to a thickness of 2mm onto a sheet of confectionery dipping paper. Immediately put the half-eggs without a rabbit design on top to give them a flat edge. Leave to set. Gently heat the eggs’ flat edge using a heat gun, then sprinkle with CRUNCHY PEARLS and ÉQUINOXE. Tip: Leave a 1cm gap from the edges so that you can stick the egg halves together. Leave to set and cover with plastic wrap. Turn the eggs out and remove the rabbits. Stick the egg halves together by melting each one’s edges on a hot surface at 135-140°F (58-60°C) so that they seal firmly. Leave to set. Spray a layer of tempered spray mix onto the eggs. Use a pair of tweezers to immediately remove the plastic wrap. Use a metal-bristle brush to brush down the rabbits. Stick the rabbits onto the eggs so that they overlap with the cutouts by 1cm.

Spray a layer of pre-set spray mix into the Hen Molds (Ref. 12815). Use some pre-set dark chocolate to mold the hens. Turn out and leave the couverture to spread for a few moments, then smooth away any excess. Drain the molds by holding them suspended over two rulers. Before setting is complete, trim away any excess, then mold again. Tap the mold to get the thickness you require. Leave to set in the refrigerator for a few minutes then at a temperature of 60°F (16°C) until the chocolate is ready to slip out of its mold. Stick the hen halves together by melting each one’s edges on a hot surface at 135-140°F (58-60°C) so that they seal firmly. Leave to set.

JIVARA 40% Its intense flavor of cocoa-rich notes is simply irresistible. Their creamy tone perfectly complements its final vanilla and malt notes.

Use some pre-set Dulcey to mold half 13cm Smooth Egg Molds (Ref. 10846). Turn out and leave the chocolate to spread for a few moments, then smooth away any excess. Before the chocolate sets completely, use a pointed utensil to create a broken eggshell effect. Leave to set in the refrigerator for a few minutes then at a temperature of 60°F (16°C) until the chocolate is ready to slip out of its mold. Melt the eggs’ bases so that they do not wobble and stick three beans inside their base to create a platform for your hens. Fill the egg shells with small eggs or, as in this recipe, candied pistachios, almonds, or pecans.
