Inspired by the original bar, only better: Our “Milky Way” version combines a smooth cacao nib chocolate nougat with a salty, chewy caramel. Then we covered it in 68% dark chocolate and finished it off with roasted cocoa nibs… A real crowd-pleaser!
Chef Andrés Lara brings you this festive and traditional yeasted bread, popularized by Marie Antoinette and Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria. Bathed in clarified butter, this regal Kugelhopf is a true joy to eat. Filled with specks of Thai dried bananas and Zéphyr Caramel 35% Chocolate, it is dusted with sugar for an extra touch of indulgence.
A German Christmas classic, Stollen is one of those breads whose complexity, aromatic profile, and warming taste never ceases to amaze us. In this recipe, on top of macerating the bread’s dry fruit, we prepare a one-of-a-kind soft marzipan to make sure we bring forward each ingredient’s potential and create a Stollen that is just remarkable. This is an exceptional bread that will make your customers feel celebrated whenever they eat it.
