Rice Krispies Mendiants

Rice Krispies Treats meets chocolate “mendiants” in this fun, crunchy, long-shelf life recipe created by Chef Andres Lara. By merging one of America’s favorite cereals and the traditional French bite-sized chocolate coins (traditionally topped with nuts), the recipe achieves a phenomenal contrast between the delicate airiness of caramelized puffed rice grains and the richness of hazelnut praliné and milk chocolate. Combined, these simple ingredients create a rustic, well-rounded, and fun confection which can serve as inspiration for many other creations like “arroz con leche” ice cream and so much more!

Apricot Gianduja Bars

 

With a small touch of tang, a bright color, and a delicious taste that’s made it a classic in French galettes and so much more, apricots are the center of attention in this dessert bar. But, the equation wouldn’t be complete without our absolute favorite: hazelnuts, of course! So what better way to contrast the apricot pâte de fruit in these bars than with a luxurious gianduja and some crunchy pieces of caramelized hazelnuts? A match made in heaven!

Incredible Marshmallows

Whenever marshmallows enter the equation, fun’s on the way. But let’s face it, their quirky looks and the pleasure we get from squishing them can’t hide the fact marshmallows often need a flavor boost. In her newest On Demand recipes, Chef Melissa brings you a fantastic array of flavored marshmallow recipes that are here to make us remember why we love them in the first place. A PB&J marshmallow recipe sets the tone for other three confections evoking bonbons, like her enrobed vanilla, rose, and Oreo marshmallow. Chef Melissa’s marshmallow recipes are a true creative quest capable of turning these chewy and spongy treats into something bold!

Pistachio Cherry Bars

Layers of unctuous pistachio praliné come together with a tangy cherry compote in our latest On Demand Video chocolate bar recipe. The result is an end product of impecable texture and flavor profile… paired with all the knowledge to make it happen. 

Allow Chef Melissa to use this spirited recipe, inspired by the flavors of Iranian cuisine, as the perfect occasion to share with you the fundamentals of pre-crystallizing fat-based fillings, fruit puree fabrication, and the different varieties and applications of pectin. 

Recorded in HD and showing you all the steps, ingredients, and details; this production-friendly recipe incarnates our school’s philosophy of sharing knowledge and creativity with generosity!

Pecan Double Caramel Tarts

 

 

 

 

Pecans truly are a fascinating ingredient; they’re crunchy, earthy, and beautifully fragrant.

This tart highlights all those nuances by making a pecan praliné tart shell with white chocolate that’s snappy, but also creamy and full-bodied in the palate.

The tart is then filled with a layer of a double caramel ganache that evokes the tried-and-true power combo of caramelized pecans.

To add some texture, we top it off with a caramelized pecan paste that’s meant to add a slightly more rustic touch to this otherwise smooth, but decadent dessert.

Simple, elegant, and incredibly delicious!
