We set out on a chocolate-truffle-making-mission this past Saturday (12, May 2012)
at William Curley Patissiers and Chocolatiers in Belgravia. The chocolate
making class was taught by master chocolatier Elle Crocker, and participants formulated dark chocolate and chocolate &
raspberry truffles from scratch. We made two different types of ganaches, and
exceeded the quality control requests by consuming all of them! Our taste buds were
dazzled as there were fresh mint truffles, raspberry fruit paste
truffles and sea salt caramel truffles for all to indulge. Elle, our master chocolatier,
later provided us with a full tutorial on cocoa cultivation and transformation.
We had an amazing experience and look forward to going back for the sea salt
caramel making!
