Siracusa Lemon

Hazelnut Tablet
By Chef Josh Johnson
Yield
5-6 Tablets
The punchy PGI Siracusa Lemon pairs well with the dairy and caramel notes of Guittard’s 38% cacao Soleil d’Or milk chocolate and when combined with the caramel notes of the crunchy hazelnut praline, creates a well balanced tablet.

Siracusa Lemon Ganache

Ingredients
Directions
  1. 1

    Melt the 38% Soleil d’Or to 40°C/104°F and combine with the melted cocoa butter, set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the heavy cream to a simmer and pour over the milk chocolate/cocoa butter mixture. With a whisk, stir the cream and chocolate until thoroughly blended; the mixture may look broken.

  3. 3

    Slowly add the room temperature lemon purée and continue to whisk until the mixture is emulsified. When the ganache temperature is 38–40°C/100–104°F, add the soft butter and finish the emulsion with an immersion blender.

  4. 4

    When the ganache reaches 31°C/88°F, fill the molds halfway, leaving room for the praline layer. Allow the ganache time to fully crystallize before adding the praline layer.
