Recipe Step by Step
Step01
HOLLOW BALLS (TEMPERING USING THE SEEDING METHOD)
600gGUANAJA 70% chocolate
Melt two thirds of the total quantity of GUANAJA 70% (400g) chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave. Increase the
temperature to 50-55°C. Once this temperature has been reached, add the remaining third of the chocolate.
Start mixing by hand, then using a hand blender. Be careful not to incorporate any air bubbles.
Check that the temperature of the chocolate has reached 31-32°C. The chocolate is now tempered.
Make sure you keep the chocolate at this temperature while you work with it. If you need to, use a hairdryer to reheat its surface. Immediately pour the tempered chocolate into 2 half-sphere moulds. Leave to set at room temperature for 2 hours.
Turn out each half-sphere, then stick them together using the bottom of a heated saucepan.
Heat up the end of a 10mm plain round nozzle using a hair dryer then pierce the chocolate spheres one by one in order to fill them. Set them aside to fill them with praliné or coconut ganache later (see recipe below).
