  • 200g of semisweet chocolate
  • 100g of condensed milk
  • 50g of sugar
  • 30g of butter
  • Utilize chocolate de boa qualidade para um sabor mais intenso.
  • Try including a touch of vanilla extract in the nut mixture for a distinct flavor.

Chef Tips

- Derreta o chocolate em banho-maria brando sem deixar o vapor d'água entrar em contato com o doce. - Deixe o recheio de castanha esfriar até ficar morno antes de aplicar sobre a primeira camada de chocolate. - Bata a forma na bancada suavemente para assentar o chocolate e eliminar pequenas bolhas de ar.

Variations

- Add drops of vanilla essence to the nut dough still on low heat to perfume the filling. - Sprinkle grains of fleur de sel over the top chocolate before it hardens to create contrast on the palate. - Make the frosting with white chocolate while keeping the dark cocoa and nut filling.

Substitutions

- Cashews can be swapped for chopped toasted hazelnuts, ground walnuts, or sliced almonds. - The semi-sweet chocolate can be replaced by 70% cocoa chocolate to control the sugar level. - The butter can be swapped for unsalted clarified butter to enhance the shine of the sweet.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container protected from heat and light for up to 10 days. In places with high temperatures, store in the refrigerator, removing 10 minutes before consuming to recover the shine.

Can You Freeze It?

It can be frozen wrapped individually in aluminum foil inside a closed container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator to prevent the cocoa butter from sweating or turning white.

What to Serve With

Accompany with full-bodied espresso, unsweetened black tea, or a glass of coffee liqueur. Also combines with fresh red fruits like strawberries to refresh the palate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Por que o chocolate fica manchado de branco depois de esfriar?

Isso ocorre quando o chocolate não passa pela temperagem adequada ou sofre choque térmico brusco, fazendo a manteiga de cacau subir à superfície.

Can I use common acetate molds instead of silicone?

Yes, but grease lightly or ensure the chocolate is well crystallized before turning so the chocolates release without breaking.

How to grind the cashew nut without turning it into a paste?

Use the pulse function of the food processor or blender in short 2-second bursts, sifting the pieces to maintain a crunchy texture.

How long does the chestnut filling need to cook?

Cook over low heat for about 6 to 8 minutes, until the condensed milk begins to detach from the bottom of the pan, like a soft brigadeiro.
