Crafting the Perfect Chocolate Glaze
GLAZE INGREDIENTS
- 200g tablette Noir between 65 and 75% or tablette Lait 35% minimum
GLAZE RECIPE
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and temper. To do this, remove the bowl from the bain-marie when the chocolate has reached 50°C (45°C for milk chocolate). Remove the pan of hot water and set aside. Place the bowl of chocolate in a bain-marie of cold water and stir to bring the chocolate down to 28°C (27°C for milk chocolate). Return the bowl of chocolate to the hot water bath and bring it up to 31°C (30°C for milk chocolate).
- Dip the madeleines in the chocolate and return them to the madeleine mold until the chocolate crystallizes in the fridge.
