Breaking wall-nuts
Callebaut chef Philippe Vancayseele drew inspiration from the Style Rebellion trend to come up with this deliciously radical hazelnut chocolate snack. It combines a whole palette of flavours – ranging from the fresh, fuity taste of hazelnuts, over the intense cocoa taste of nibs, to the powerful and creamy chocolate taste of dark, milk and white Finest Belgian Chocolate – arranged on top of irregular pieces of cookie dough spiced up with some ginger, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper and cardamom. A fascinating fusion of pop art and confectionery!

Prepare another slab of white chocolate Callebaut® Finest Belgian Chocolate Recipe n° W2. When half-set, place framed filling on top, and roll over it with a rolling pin to make the chocolate and the filling stick together. Leave to crystallise and remove the plastic from both sides. Decorate the slab with colourful ‘graffiti’, wait until it has set and then smash the slab to pieces. Stick the irregular pieces of chocolate on top of the spicy cookies. |
