Passion Fruit and Black Sesame Bonbons with Melissa Coppel and Ramon Perez

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. 

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. 

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.

Creative Marzipan

Creative Marzipan by Melissa Coppel

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!
