Last cooking class--French Christmas treats
This last class was all about Christmas treats. So for a change, no chopping of onions, shallots or garlic!
These are French classics: from left to right
mint chocolate truffles (truffes)-chocolate, butter, cream and 1 egg yolk
chocolate covered candied orange peel (orangettes)
coconut chocolate truffles (truffes à la noix de coco)
coconut "mounds", some with chocolate (rochers à la noix de coco)-unsweetened coconut, egg whites and sugar
chocolate covered candied cherries (cérisettes)
walnuts with marzipan (noix déguisées)
some more truffles
I also made caramelized hazelnuts and nougat (both not pictured). I brought home so many treats that I made up two plates to give away and we still have lots to eat!
