Beech's Dark Coffee Creams 150 g

Product Information

Caster sugar from cane sugar is better than beet sugar, but don’t worry too much if you can’t get hold of it. In the UK, pretty much all the supermarket’s sugar is UK grown, which means it’s from beet. Add the flavouring, swill it around and leave it. You’ll get the chance to add more flavouring once the mixture cools down and you’ll be able to actually taste it. Yes, these coffee creams make perfect gifts for birthday parties, hen parties or used as wedding favours or Christmas presents for your foodie friends and family. You can make them up to one week in advance, on the understanding that they will be fine for a week or two after that. How to store chocolate coffee creams They’re a delicious, luxurious blend of sumptuous coffee flavour, enveloped in fine vegan chocolate and delivered to you in a beautiful, 100% recyclable box.

Slowly heat the mixture to dissolve the sugar and then bring to the boil. Don’t start to boil your sugar syrup until all sugar crystals have dissolved. If you do, you’ll end up with a gritty confectionery. It’s also dairy free, so there’s no need to worry about the presence of egg, or milk powder, whole milk powder or any other form of milk. Whether it's boxed gifts, bespoke gifts, bulk catering chocolates, or individual wrapped treats, we cater to individual and corporate clients across the UK and internationally.I’ve also used a bit of alcohol instead of water when I needed to make the sugar syrup more pliable just before I rolled it to create this confectionery. If you don’t have a cutter or you want your coffee creams to be more round and domed, simply take a piece, roll it to a very small ball, flatten it gently and make it more of an oval shape. Nobody really knows when the fondant at the heart of Whitakers coffee creams was first made, but it is generally thought it emerged in France in the mid-19th century, when bakers had access to lots of refined, granulated sugar.

Fondant 63.6% (sugar, glucose syrup, water), dark chocolate 36% (cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, emulsifier: soya lecithin), coffee flavour, colour: plain caramel, stabiliser: invertase. A delicious indulgence: Whitakers Coffee Creams Next step is to temper dark or milk chocolate. We do need to temper chocolate to make sure that our fondant creams look perfect and without any white streaks. Keep the fondant creams in cool place (not in the fridge) in an airtight box (or tin or paper box) and separate each layer with baking parchment to make sure that the chocolate covering doesn’t get scoffed. Sophisticated and satisfying, coffee and chocolate go together like two beans in a pod. These two delightful ingredients are close to our hearts here at Hotel Chocolat, and our Coffee Chocolate collection aims to showcase the nuanced flavours and textures they each have to offer. Whether you’re partial to a tipsy Tiramisu Selector or are looking for a special gift for the coffee connoisseur in your life, browse our collection and you’re sure to find the perfect option. There’s the all-important coffee flavour, while plain caramel provides the colour. Although Whitakers coffee cream chocolates are gluten and palm oil free, they do contain soya, as well as traces of lactose and nuts. Indulge yourself in a FairTrade treatI’ve used dark chocolate coverture with this recipe, but it’s perfectly fine to use milk or even white chocolate. I prefer dark chocolate simply because the filling is already sweet enough (ehm….it’s just sugar….), so I want something not too sweet to enrobe it with. How to make coffee creams – step by step I prefer to use white sugar for this recipe, as it’s neutral and the flavour comes out the best. I wouldn’t recommend using strongly flavoured sugars such as coconut sugar unless it works with your chosen flavour (for example rich coconut or caramel flavour) Glucose If you leave the mixture to cool down too much, it will crumble and look very dry, when you get to the whisking step.
