My Week of Making Raw Chocolate Pralines!

Fudgey Goodness in a Praline Truffle!

This week I’ve been focused on Raw Chocolate Pralines for my upcoming eBook, Easy Chocolate Delights.

If you’re French you might like to pronounce that as “Prah-lin-aye”. As much as I like saying things in French, I’m Australian. So “Pray-lean” it is.

I made about three batches of raw chocolate pralines this week using various combinations of nut butters, dark and white chocolate, and experimenting with textures, flavours and enrobing (covering the praline in chocolate, see pic below).

Beloved was eating the first batch by the spoonful and telling me how much he loved me, so I knew I was onto something special!

Monday evening was the final class of Term 3 Meditation – a truly beautiful evening of breathing, relaxing, balancing and energising – all to the lovely rain outside! I brought some fresh pralines (au natural and not encased in chocolate) in for the students to try which turned out to be a decadent hit! I also brought in some fresh lemongrass from our herb garden so they could make an invigorating tea at home 🙂

We’re all enjoying a two week school holiday break now until Term 4, beginning Monday 7th October 7-8pm. Perhaps you’ll join us?

NEW Specialty Raw Chocolate Classes!

Now, pralines are easy to make PLUS they are divinely, melt-in-your-mouth delicious! What’s not to get excited about?!

Because I’ve been honing my chocolate making skills by learning from the only Raw Chocolatier (in the UK) that I know of (besides myself, who is not a full on chocolatier!) I’ve decided to create Specialty Raw Chocolate Making Classes that will be run from the MindBodyFood kitchen. Group numbers will be kept small to ensure everyone gets hands on in the chocolate making process and can use the time to ask me questions, share their stories and have a great time of laughter, chocolate making and taste-testing in a quiet, light and spacious environment.
