How to create an amber delight? by Stéphane Leroux and Fatma Hussen

Why is amber chocolate such an interesting product?

Stéphane Leroux: "Amber chocolate, a variant of white chocolate, introduces a distinctive caramelized note that elevates the taste beyond the typical milkiness and sweetness. Its versatility in flavor combinations, coupled with the complementary amber color, opens up exciting possibilities for creative decoration. This makes it a unique and valuable choice for chocolate craftsmanship.”

Fatma Hussen: "Under the guidance of Stéphane Leroux, I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive application opportunities offered by the Belcolade Selection Amber Cacao-Trace chocolate. Ideal for infusing innovation into my pastry recipes, it generates a world of potential for culinary creativity."

How can you incorporate amber chocolate?

Stéphane Leroux: “This chocolate is used much like white chocolate, but with a slight variation in tempering, requiring a lower final usage temperature. It performs excellently in mousses and allows beautiful glazes and decorations. In short, there are numerous creative possibilities, just like other Belcolade Selection chocolates.”

Which flavors work well with it?

Stéphane Leroux: "I find amber chocolate very interesting to work with when combined with, for example, oranges and coffee. Fruit and coffee are often challenging to combine, but amber chocolate connects the two very nicely."
