Varlhona Chocolate Truffles

2008-01-22T22:47:00.001+08:00

Chocolate truffles are traditionally made with a chocolate ganache center coated in chocolate or cocoa powder, usually in a spherical, conical or curved shape. Other fillings may replace the ganache: cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, almonds, berries or other assorted sweet fruits, nougat, fudge or toffee, mint, chocolate chips, marshmallow and popularly liquor. They are named for their resemblance to the expensive truffle fungus.

We only use good quality cocoa powder, Varlhona for these treats.

Berries Friands

2008-01-22T22:44:00.001+08:00

A financier, sometimes called a friand, is a type of pastry in French cuisine. The financier is a light tea cake, similar to sponge cake, and usually contains ground almonds. The basis of the cake itself is beurre noisette (brown butter), egg whites, and powdered sugar. Flour is typically absent from the friand. Financiers are often baked in shaped molds. The name "financier" is said to derive from the traditional rectangular mold, which resembles a bar of gold and are somewhat similar to madeleines.

Italian Biscotti

2007-10-28T17:44:00.000+08:00

Biscotti (roughly means "twice baked") are crisp Italian cookies often containing nuts or flavoured with spices such as cinnamon, anise etc. Traditionally, biscotti are made by baking cookie dough in long slabs, cutting these into slices, and reheating them to dry them out. The cookies are twice-baked so that they can be stored for long period of time. The texture of biscotti makes the cookie ideal for dipping in espresso, tea, or hot chocolate.
