Howdy
I'm trying to make ice cream bonbons for the first time and just had a few questions
In looking at the Chocolate at my local food tool store (Sur La Table) I see that percentages of Cocoa are shown in big letters & numbers. Is this just to indicate the differences between things like semi-sweet and dark? And which would one suggest I use as the outer coating to my Bonbons (vanilla, chocolate, pistachio & strawberry)
Also, how do chocolateers(sp) get their treats to look so shiny & is that something I would want to do or would it alter the taste of my final treat
If someone has any tips or tricks for making ice-cream bonbons, that would help as well or a website with some info
Right now I'm thinking...make the ice-cream, firm it up, make it into balls, dip it in chocolate & then drizzle some colored ganche on top or something like that
Thanks
Oh, and if you know anything about Spumoni I have a post under recepies asking about that.
