Milk Chocolate - 41% Cacao


Melt the 38% Soleil d’Or to 40°C/104°F and combine with the melted cocoa butter, set aside.
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.
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.
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.
Combine the water and sugar, cook to 118°C/244°F. Add the warmed hazelnuts, stir continuously until the mixture crystallizes. Continue on medium/high heat until the sugar fully caramelizes around the hazelnuts.
Pour the mixture out on a silpat and spread out to cool. Once cool, add salt and process until smooth.
Combine the melted cocoa butter and 38% Soleil d’Or milk chocolate. Add the hazelnut praline, table mixture to 22–23°C/72–73°F, add the diced almonds. Cast into molds.
