I've attended several of Amy's classes both in-person and online and I've thoroughly enjoyed the classes. Amy's recipes, attention to detail, and outstanding knowledge, teamed with the friendly and supportive atmosphere that she creates makes the experience absolutely brilliant. I very much recommend attending one of Amy's classes.

I have attended two days Bonbons Intensive class which was an amazing experience! Amy is very knowledgeable, gave us so much information and tips on how to do shelling, capping, how to pair flavours, what to avoid when making bonbons, where to purchase ingredients and equipment and much more. I think this is a must to attend class for all the beginners and also for those who already have a bit of experience in making bonbons. I was very pleased with the result after the class, bonbons looked amazing and sooo delicious. Thank you Amy so much for these amazing two days!

Amy was such a fun teacher, chef, personality! Being 💯 new to her innovative brilliance with chocolate and the general concept of how to create flavor layering😬, Amy skillfully created an exciting duo session that suited the skills of my vegan chef friend and myself. When you book a private or small group session, know that you should allot some time to explore the beautiful countryside before or after your session with Amy!

Learn The Ins & Outs of Sweetening Your Chocolate With Only Fruit
In this class, we focus solely on making chocolate in the stone grinder sweetened with only fruit and veggie powders.
Want To Make An Amazing Sweetener Free Chocolate?
I’ve been making fruit sweetened chocolate for about 8 years now. When I first developed the dark chocolate recipe back in 2013, I didn’t think anyone else would be interested in it, but recently I have seen many people wanting to make chocolate without the use of processed, refined sweeteners, even coconut sugar.
Since then, I have developed three fruit sweetened chocolates; ‘red velvet’ milk, blonde and dark. These are super easy to make and the ingredients can be found rather easily on Amazon or via natural food suppliers.
In this 60 min class I’ll answer all your questions as we take a deep dive into how to make chocolate only sweetened with fruit and veggie powder. These chocolates are made using the stone grinder and the result is a silky smooth, deliciously sweet chocolate.
What you’ll learn…
What Is A Stone Grinder
If you’re entirely unfamiliar with a stone grinder, we’ll get into all the details in class. This method of making chocolate is the most traditional and has been used for centuries. Before electronic machines were used this was accomplished manually using a large stone, like a mortar and pestle, but huge! Luckily today we have various machines to choose from. I’ll talk about a few of them in class and demonstrate the ins and outs of it using my own grinder.
Which Ingredients To Use
Depending on whether you want to make dark, milk, white or blonde chocolate the ingredients and their ratios will vary. In this class we will go through my tried and true recipes for ‘red velvet’ milk, blonde and dark chocolates. I will talk you through why I choose the fruit powders I do and in what ratio they can be used.
Grinding Times
A silky smooth consistency isn’t the only reason to grind your chocolate, there are other factors that come into play, such as viscosity and flavour development. Specifically where lighter shades of chocolate are concerned the grinding times (and ingredients ratios) are key to a lovely thick chocolate that can be used for enrobing, shelling or making chocolate bars.
Starting A Batch
We’ll start a batch of fruit sweetened chocolate in class so you can see exactly how easy it is. We’ll also cover some troubleshooting of common issues that might arise during the grind.
Troubleshooting
I’ve been teaching chocolate making in the grinder for about 8 years and have taken notice of the most common questions and issues that arise before, during and after a grind. I’ll address as many of those as possible in class, but cover them all in the accompanying class book.
How Does It Work?
- After you’ve purchased this livestream class, you’ll be sent a confirmation email, which includes a link to register for the class.
- At the time and date of the class you’ll connect via the Zoom software (no extra charge to you).
- You’ll be able to see and hear me. We’ll say hello when you join, so you can confirm you can hear OK.
- While I’m teaching you can type questions for me to answer. I’ll make sure we answer all questions.
- You’ll receive the class book and a recording of the session within 1-2 days of the livestream.
- Note: This is not a follow along workshop, so there’s no need to shop for any ingredients prior to the class. You can just relax, watch at home, ask questions and be armed with your new knowledge to get in the kitchen in your own time and go at your own pace. Of course, you have all recipes and a recording of the class to refer back to whenever you want.
