Raspberry Confit- 300 g raspberry purée
- 45 g sugar
- 5 g NH pectin
- 8 g glucose syrup
- 5 g inverted sugar
- Heat the raspberry purée with glucose syrup and inverted sugar to 40°C.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar with NH pectin, then gradually add it to the preheated purée, stirring continuously.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, let it cook for one minute, then transfer it into a container and let it cool and set.
- Once stabilized, blend with an immersion blender until the texture is smooth and glossy.
- Transfer the confit into a piping bag, ready for further use.
Raspberry Ganache- 100 g raspberry purée
- 35 g sugar
- 23 g glucose syrup
- 107 g dark chocolate
- 93 g milk chocolate
- 20 g butter
- Place the dark and milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt gently in the microwave in 10-second intervals.
- In a saucepan, heat the raspberry purée, sugar, and glucose syrup to 80°C.
- Pour the heated purée over the partially melted chocolate, let it sit for a few seconds, then blend with an immersion blender.
- Add the butter, then continue blending until the ganache becomes smooth and glossy.
- Transfer the ganache into a piping bag and allow it to cool to 29°C, which is the optimal temperature for piping into molds.

- Pour the mixture over the partially melted chocolate, let it sit for a few seconds, then blend with an immersion blender.
- Add the butter, then continue blending until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the ganache into a piping bag and let it cool to 29°C, which is the optimal temperature for piping into molds.
Mixture for Coloring Molds- 100 g cocoa butter
- 30 g white chocolate
- liposoluble food coloring
- Melt the cocoa butter and white chocolate together at 45°C.
- Add the liposoluble food coloring in the desired quantity, depending on the shade you want to achieve.
- Blend well using an immersion blender, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve to ensure a smooth and homogeneous consistency.
- To achieve a perfect shine on the surface of the bonbons, the cocoa butter mixture needs to be tempered. Lower the temperature from 45°C to 29°C, then it is ready to be used for spraying and decorating molds.
Tempering Chocolate- In the first step, melt the dark chocolate (65%) to 45-48°C, stirring continuously to ensure an even temperature.
- We will temper the chocolate using the classic tabling method, working on a marble or granite surface.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the surface and, using two spatulas, spread and gather the chocolate repeatedly until it cools to 29°C.
- Then, transfer the chocolate back into the bowl and gently reheat it to 30-31°C. 📌 Why is this important? 30-31°C is the ideal working temperature for dark chocolate. This ensures a fluid and glossy texture, allowing for perfectly crisp pralines once they are set.
- Once tempered, the chocolate is ready to be used. Pour it into the molds, gently tap them to remove air bubbles and ensure even coverage.
- Then, flip the mold upside down to let the excess chocolate drain, scrape off any remaining chocolate with a spatula, and place the mold on a flat surface to crystallize properly.
- Once the chocolate has set, the bonbons are ready to be filled.
Final Stage: Sealing and CrystallizationAfter filling the pralines with the ganache, let them crystallize for 6-8 hours at room temperature, or place them in a chocolate fridge at 14°C for six hours.
Once stabilized, proceed with the sealing process (as shown in the video).
📌 To make demolding easier, place the filled molds in the refrigerator for 5 minutes before removing the pralines.
