Gooey Coconut Cherry Filling
This is the most important element of this chocolate bar. The texture is gooey with specks of coconut and pieces of sweet, dark cherries. It’s a masterpiece of flavour and texture. This filling is easy to make once you know the tips and tricks I have uncovered during the extensive development process. I’ve tested many iterations and will share my findings with you.
You could alter this recipe by using the same methods, but changing the fruit that’s featured. Strawberry or blueberry would be really nice with the coconut too.
Forming by ‘hand’
If you don’t have experience with making chocolate shells, you can make these chocolates by forming them into balls, in a frame or a silicone mould. The process for making the filling will vary depending on whoch method you choose. We cover all of them in the class.
Forming by shelling
We talk through the various professional chocolate moulds you can use for these bars. They don’t even need to be bars, they could be any shape you’d like. There are some important points on filling the shells and when to cap that don’t apply to your normal bars or bonbons, we’ll cover those details in the class and prepare you for success.
Dark or Milk Chocolate
I have tested both shades and the winner for me and my taste testers was dark! But you can, of course, test it for yourself and decide.
