A while ago we decided to be a chef and make some gourmet food at a party, we actually ended up making truffles, and boy were they a big hit with all my friends who all have made the assumption that they were gourmet chocolates purchased from a trendy candy or gourmet food shop. Be warned! make your own gourmet chocolate is quite difficult and it takes time and patience, but on the positive side allows you to select recipes that may not be so easy to get the local candy store.
The key to making amazing gourmet chocolate:
Choosing and buying ingredients in your gourmet chocolate is part of the fun. To start with we melted excellent quality dark chocolate over a double boiler. Secondly we rolled some small balls from marzipan and covered them with chocolate. Finally, we rolled chocolate covered marzipan in ground almonds, we also rolled chocolate covered peanut butter in more chocolate and then gave them a surplus of ground peanuts.
Making chocolates opens up your creative juices, and then when you make your own gourmet chocolates, you can create many different variations like, chocolate covered candied ginger, chocolate covered citrus peel, even chocolate covered chili Peppers, wow.
Sharpen your shape talents when making gourmet chocolate:
A popular TV chef had a recipe for a honey chocolate cake, which inspired me to make a honey marzipan truffle.
* Start by getting chocolate ingredients.
* Then melt the chocolate over double boiler.
* Add a little honey will create a nice glaze.
* Now marzipan and with a paring knife carve some simple shapes like flowers, or rabbit hearts.
* Then immerse the shaped marzipan cautiously into the chocolate and let the chocolate set on marzipan.
* Then dust them with confectioner's sugar.
* The glaze will be slightly sticky, so the sugar will keep.
This would make a great gift for all occasions and is a very good idea for gourmet chocolates, because you can make the marzipan into a form that fits the occasion, and finish by dusting them with confectioner's sugar.
A fantastic gift for someone you love:
It is hard to find anyone who does not like chocolate, as gifts they are an excellent choice to show someone you love. By making chocolate yourself, you can take your time and make them look great for that special person in your life. A good meal followed by some gourmet chocolates will without doubt get you some brownie points.
Gourmet chocolate is usually created by master chocolate, so there's no pressure here, but be sure you do not do something that looks dreadful and uninteresting, as it will crush the aim of making them yourself. If the chocolates you create are lumpy, uneven or misshaped people will not think much of them. You must be sure that the quality is fantastic when offering your friends some of your gourmet chocolate.
