Join expert artisan chocolatier Fiona Sciolti as she takes you through the various stages of making your own fruit based truffles and ganaches. This course will give you a sound understanding of working with chocolate and will, without a doubt, inspire you to make them for all those special occasions. If that’s not “hit the spot” there’s always the seriously grown up lollipops.
Fiona will also show you how you can easily make a simple and sumptuous hot chocolate. This gently spiced shot can be served in it’s own right, or as an accompaniment to a desert such as waffles with a mint cream. Deeee-licious!
Whilst you sup on your drinks, you will also be able to try out some fantastic new varieties of chocolate from Duffy Sheardown from Red Star Chocolates. Duffy has travelled to the far corners of the world to source some amazing single origin cocoa beans, which he conches and blends to create these unique bars of chocolate.
You will end the course by rolling the truffles you made earlier and finally you’ll collect your lollipops and truffles then beautifully hand tie bags of chocolate goodies to take home.
This is a half day course and includes all ingredients, refreshments and the loan of an academy apron.
