Kirsten Tibballs of Melbourne’s Savour Chocolate and Patisserie School demonstrates how to make perfectly presented chocolate lollipops.
During a recent trip to Europe, Kirsten noticed chocolate lollipops with elaborate garnishes appearing in the windows of chocolate shops and patisseries, particularly in France and Belgium.
“I chose to make lollipops for this masterclass because I foresee it being the next big thing in chocolates and pralines in the Australian market,” Kirsten says. “Plus, they have a beautiful crunch from the crispearls and delicious chocolate, which contrasts with the creamy ganache interior.
“There is such a broad range of products and finishes that can be achieved with lollipops by utilising crunchy and smooth textures and delicious ganaches. Lollipops containing only chocolates and inclusions also have quite a long shelf life.”
