Hello (food) lovers!
The great thing about chocolate is that you can mix it with many flavors, with quite a lot of fruits like raspberry. And talking about mix and match 😉 , let me suggest another idea for Valentine’s day (or any other occasion actually!!) …
Here is my chocolate and raspberry duo!
So I already gave a few ideas on the blog to have a great time with you better half or with your several halves (It’s difficult for me to organize a romantic dinner at home without my kids asking for their share of the cake!! it’s always a family celebration !!): my Valentines’ day macarons, the strawberry cake, the raspberry and meringue entremet, the chocolate, praline and raspberry mini tarts …
Today, let’s make it simple and very yummy. The biscuit in this dessert is a chocolate fondant in which you will add fresh raspberries (please avoid the frozen ones if you can since they will give back water during cooking). Then you are going to pipe a raspberry chantilly cream to bring a soft touch to this chocolate and raspberry duo … I told you: nothing really complicated here.

And besides it’s very quick to make…
The extra “je ne sais quoi” here is obviously the heart shape of this cake. I used 2 pastry rings made in France by De Buyer in collaboration with Valrhona.
The other utensils:
A whisk (an electric one if you have since the eggs and sugar will have to be beaten for a few minutes to get a light and foamy texture),
A small sauce pan,
A baking mat or sheet,
A piping bag
And a diameter 10 round nozzle.
And now that you have all the informations, let’s bake!! And vive l’Amour…
The recipe, Chef!

Sunday April 5th, 2020 at 09:37 AMBonjour Emmanuelle,
pour votre duo chocolat framboises, vous prenez deux moules en forme de coeur. Comme je n’en ai pas, je pensais prendre un moule à manquer amovible de 20 cm de diamètre… que pensez-vous de la taille?
Je pensais essayer dans la semaine, je l’avoue avec des framboises surgelées…
Bonne dimanche et encor merci pour toutes vos recettes!
