What happens when you ask Chefs Melissa and Ramon Perez to put their spin on a passion fruit bonbon?
They bring an unusual suspect to this delicious equation: black sesame!
Chef Melissa’s Bonbon
If you’re looking for new ways to present your molded bonbons, Melissa’s got you covered.
In this 1 hour class, discover Chef Melissa’s “mini tart” bonbons, made with a dark and milk chocolate passion fruit ganache.Â
Additionally, Chef Melissa teaches you how to make a black sesame duja and how to caramelize the sesame seeds to turn them into a sweet, nutty crunch: the perfect topping for these inviting bonbons!
Chef Ramon’s Bonbon
In his enrobed bonbons, Chef Ramon celebrates passion fruit’s acidic notes.Â
By paring this fruit with Felchlin’s Opus Blanc white chocolate to create a creamy, milky ganache, Chef Ramon creates the perfect foundation for a flavor punch.
In this case, it’s a second layer of dark chocolate and black sesame gianduja.
After enrobing, Chef Ramon decorates these enrobed pieces with a dot of yellow cacao butter; a simple, but colorful way to finish a bonbon that is perfect for your production.

Coconut and passion fruit have to be one of those duos that always stands out, creating a tangy, nutty and texture-rich flavor profile worthy of the most delicious bonbons. This two-layer enrobed piece plays with a toasted coconut almond marzipan (one of Chef Melissa’s favorite confections) and a milk and dark chocolate passion fruit ganache for a tropical and milky touch. In her easygoing style, Chef Melissa provides detailed instructions for making the top and bottom chablon for these production-friendly bonbons inspired by her childhood flavors, as well as all the essential steps for creating sophisticated enrobed pieces with just a few steps and key techniques.
Don’t worry! The marzipans you will learn in this class have nothing to do with those overly-sweet commercial ones that taste like bitter almond extract -and that everyone hates for a reason-. A good marzipan, on the other hand, is such an amazing product! Not only are they delicious; they also are extremely versatile, nutritious, and have a texture that is hard to resist. And to top it off? They have a great shelf life!
We will kick off this Class paying tribute to one of the most beloved American classics: cookie dough marzipan! And the repertoire only gets better: cacao nib, yuzu, black sesame, strawberry kalamata, espresso, and coconut marzipan are all included. With these recipes, marzipan definitely becomes something to be truly excited about!
This Class is perfect for those looking to add a dose of creativity to their chocolate collections. We will focus on products that are fun, unique, easy to make and specially that have a great shelf life!
This are the type of products we believe customers are looking for: Indulgent, fun, easy to pack and carry! That is what our Chocolate Snacks is all about!
We will cover every step of the process to get the beautiful enrobed bonbons: From how to perfectly emulsify you ganache recipes, to the pre crystallization of the fillings, how to properly do a bottom and top chablon, then how to perfectly cut them using guitar. We will finish them both ways: hand dipping them or coating them using an enrobing machine. All bonbons will have beautiful and simple decorations.
We will discuss as well how to pack, freeze and ship your chocolate bonbons.
