Our #Chocollaboration workshops are a chance to explore the creativity and fun in crafting your own chocolates under the guidance of expert chocolatier Jane Williams. What makes these sessions extra special is the collaboration with other local producers and ingredients. Each workshop is focussed on celebrating the flavours and textures of the guest ingredients; to harness them in the chocolate making process... and to create something totally unique. Each session will involve a special behind the scenes interview with a maker, and/or tastings of their product. And then Jane will demonstrate and guide you through making your own chocolate creations. Bring a friend, and enjoy experimenting with chocolate together. Or come on your own, and meet other creatives who love chocolate too! These one-off events promise to be an exciting chocolate experience, and you can take your creations home with you to show your friends and family.
The evening will start with a guest interview from Ally from Simply Cheesecake. Hear her story as she creates the region's favourite cheesecakes from her cafe in Low Fell. She is kindly going to demonstrate her cheesecake recipe for us to taste on the night, and then we are going to test, taste and experiment with your favourite flavour combinations. We'll then be piping your cheesecake mixes into truffle spheres, and rolling them in cheesecake crumbs to decorate. You'll also get to make your own mini cheesecake dessert, with chocolate spoons and piped chocolate decorations demonstrated by Jane.
In summary, the #chocollaboration creations will include:
- chocolate cheesecake truffles
- your own miniature cheesecake dessert
- chocolate spoons and piped decorations
Jane always says that the best bit about being a Chocolatier is testing and trying new flavours and techniques, and this is the experience you can enjoy in our #chocollaborations. We’ll teach you how to make the chocolates, but the flavour combinations, the choice of chocolate, the decoration are all up to you. The creations you take home will be yours and yours alone.
This promises to be a very fun new session, we're excited to see if cheesecake truffles might be the next thing we should all be trying!
