Want To Learn How to Make Stunning Healthy Modern Desserts?

Take your dessert skills to the next level and impress your family, friends and clients with delicious, healthy entremets that are (mostly) raw, plant based, gluten/wheat/dairy and refined sugar free.

Let’s take your dessert skills to the next level.

This course brings together raw baking, desserts and chocolate into one in depth class. It will help you understand how to take the base recipes you already know and love from my other courses and apply them all in one dessert.

The dessert made in class has several components that are assembled using a mix of free form techniques and modern pastry moulds and methods. Where chocolate garnishes are use to decorate the desserts, they will be made in class.

This 2 hour livestream class is designed for intermediate students or those with a good dessert making background. You don’t need to have a dehydrator to make the recipes from this class, you can also use your oven.

What you’ll learn …

Fermentation

I love using fermented creams in my desserts. No just for the probiotic aspect, but for what they offer to the dessert itself. Fermentation dramatically alters the overall feel of the cream, making it lighter to digest, but also reducing that dense feel you get from simply using soaked cashews.

Graham Cracker Crust

For this dessert, I wanted a crumbly, light crust. It started out as a Smore’s Tart, but quickly found its way to this final, gorgeous tart. I also wanted to use some traditional pastry techqniues in the forming of this crust, it worked out very well. When I completed, and tasted this tart, I thanked God, because it’s creation was not of my making 🙂

Peanut Butter Ganache

Often I base my desserts on childhood memories, like the Maple Blueberry Entremet is based on pancakes. This tart is based on me having bananas with peanut butter after school as a kiddo, but elevated! So, I kept the flavours simple, but the most classic flavour combos don’t need anything fancy. You simply need to allow the flavours to shine as brightly as possible. This ganache is a very clean Peanut ‘Caramel’ vibe. Perfect for this tart.

Caramelised Bananas 

Another memory for me is Banana Flambe which we had as kids on cruise holiday’s with my Dad. I love these bananas, they’re so rich in true banana flavour without messing with them too much. The retain a lovely soft, but slight chewy texture which compliments the other components perfectly.

Chocolate Glaze 

What dessert would be complete without some chocolate, am I right?! The chocolate glaze finishes the flavour profile off beautifully without being too much and distracting from the other, more subtle flavours. Plus, it looks lovely. 🙂

Easy Chocolate Garnish 

This bubble chocolate garnish is so easy to do, so it’s an ideal one to learn if you’re not totally comfy with chocolate work.

Flavour balancing

A crucial part of being a chef of any kind and, in part, what will make your desserts stand out from others. We’ll explore this in class so you know what to add for that flavour pop and a well rounded dessert.
