Chocolate Flames

17/11/2023

The “Chocolate Flames” are not a traditional dessert that I am aware of and could be a specific preparation that does not fall within the classic repertoire of recipes or a particular name given locally to a chocolate dessert. However, I can offer you a recipe for a delicious chocolate dessert that can have a similar name or that could be transformed to resemble what you are looking for. Here is how to prepare simple but delicious homemade chocolates that could be called “Chocolate Flames” due to their unique and interesting shape.

Ingredients

  • 200 g of good quality dark chocolate
  • 100 g of milk chocolate
  • 50 g of butter
  • 50 ml of cream for desserts
  • 20 ml of orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier or another liqueur of choice)
  • Cocoa powder, as needed
  • Icing sugar, as needed
  • Strips of parchment paper

Preparation

  1. Break the dark chocolate and the milk chocolate into small pieces and put them in a heatproof bowl with the butter.
  2. Heat the cream for desserts in a saucepan without bringing it to a boil and then pour it over the chocolate and butter mixture.
  3. Stir until the chocolate and butter have completely melted and the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Add the orange liqueur and mix well.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool for about an hour in the refrigerator so that it hardens.
  6. While the ganache cools, cut strips of parchment paper about 15 cm long and 3 cm wide.
  7. Once the ganache has reached the desired consistency, use a pastry bag or a teaspoon to place portions of ganache along the center of the strips of parchment paper.
  8. Wrap the strips of paper around a cylinder (such as the handle of a wooden spoon) to give the ganache a spiral shape that resembles a flame.
  9. Place the chocolates formed in this way in the refrigerator for at least an hour before removing the parchment paper.
  10. Dust with a bit of cocoa powder or icing sugar before serving.

Curiosity

This preparation recalls the aesthetics of a flame and can be further enriched with the use of edible gold leaf or other edible decorations to make the dessert not only delicious to the palate but also a true pleasure for the eyes.

If “Chocolate Flames” refers to another type of preparation, you could provide me with more details or describe its features so that I can assist you better.
