Instructions
How It's MadeOrange Caramel
- Start by splitting the vanilla pod and kneading the vanilla seeds into granulated sugar B
- Pour the cream into a small saucepan, add the orange essence and the sugar mixed with vanilla. Heat to 40°C (104°F) and maintain this temperature
- Mix water B with the cream of tartar
- Pour water A into a saucepan, followed by granulated sugar A
- Heat the mixture. When it reaches 100°C (212°F), add the water and cream of tartar mixture
- At 110°C (230°F), add the glucose syrup
- Continue heating until the sugar develops a rich caramel tone. Deglaze the caramel with the cream and vanilla mixture, ensuring it is at 40°C (104°F)
- Turn off the heat and add 20 drops of orange oil
- Pour into a container, cover with plastic wrap to prevent the caramel from drying on the surface
- Add the candied orange peel once it has cooled
- Pipe approximately 3.5 grams (0.12 oz) of caramel into each shell
Clove Ganache
- Pour the cream into a small saucepan, add the cloves, and bring to a boil. Cover with plastic wrap and let steep for 20 minutes
- Strain out the cloves, add all the sugars, and heat the mixture to 40°C (104°F)
- Meanwhile, melt the milk chocolate, ensuring it is also at 40°C (104°F)
- Blend everything thoroughly with an immersion blender to create a smooth emulsion
- Fill the remaining shells with the ganache
- Once it has set, cap the bonbons, and enjoy!
