Making Ganache at La Maison du Chocolat...

La Maison du Chocolat Macarons, watercolor, 9" x 11 1/2"

La Maison du Chocolat has "new" macarons!
They're filled with infused chocolate ganache and available after March 19th.
Ganache is that divinely, "infused" chocolate filling in most French bonbons.
I was lucky to attend a night class at La Maison on chocolate and the making of ganache.
All in the name of research of course. La Maison calls the class the "TAMANACO".
We watched a demo of the making of ganache.
First boiled light cream is poured into the shredded chocolate.
This is when the infused flavorings are delicately added:
menthe du Maroc, citron d’Andalousie, vanille, framboise.
La Maison du Chocolat's lemon ganache As part of class studies, we tasted this wonderful lemon-infused ganache.
