Snails with Praline

by Bernard

Snails with Praline

The “snails with praline” are crunchy chocolates with a melting praline inside with almonds and hazelnuts. The advantage of doing it yourself? The price on the one hand, and the quality on the other! Tempering chocolate is not complicated…!
And no, this is not the same recipe as the gianduja filled chocolates!

Instructions
 

  • First of all I advise everyone to read the recipe for
    tempered chocolate
    !!
  • For those who wonder where I get the black and milky cover from, well I buy them from G.Detou as usual. The price? For Valrhona I pay 45 euros for 3 kg of very good quality chocolate, the Manjari from Madagascar. Here is the package!
  • Start by putting the hazelnut paste and the praline paste in a bowl.
  • Place the cocoa butter, milk and dark couverture in a small bowl.
  • Melt in the microwave, going minute by minute so as not to burn! If not, use a water bath. Pour over praline/hazelnut mixture.
    Mix well to incorporate everything. Leave it out.
  • Put the black cover in another bowl and melt in the microwave or in a double boiler.
  • Allow to cool to 34-35°C while stirring regularly. At this point add the Mycryo cocoa butter powder. See my recipe for tempered chocolate
  • Mix well and let the temperature drop to 31-32°C. At this point, apply a first layer of covering in the snail-shaped polycarbonate molds.
  • Let the chocolate crystallize and then apply a second layer. When the chocolate is crystallized, scrape the edge of the mold with a chocolate knife.
    Let stand for a while, then fill the molds with praline (actually the praline/hazelnut paste/chocolate mixture) to within 1.5mm of the edge.
  • Let it crystallize perfectly. The prealiné hardens. Re-melt the black couverture, still with the addition of mycryo at 35°C, then, when the couverture is at 31°C, pour it on the mould.
    Smooth out perfectly and scrape the mold.
  • When the chocolate crystallizes, scrape with a chocolate knife.
  • Let stand at room temperature for one or two hours, then invert the pan. Retrieve the chocolates with latex gloves to avoid leaving traces on the snails!
  • Let mature one or two days before consuming!
