Milk chocolate crémeux

This milk chocolate crémeux recipe is great for patisserie inserts or fillings. The end result won't be as dense as a ganache, and has a richer, creamier texture than a chocolate mousse. Taste-wise, milk chocolate crémeux or chocolate cream is like a creamy custard with a lovely creamy and caramelly taste. It’s ideal for building your desserts or pastries in layers – it holds its shape perfectly – or to be piped on top. Our chefs prefer using Finest Belgian Milk Chocolate with a powerful cocoa or caramelly taste. If you're looking for more adventurous, aromatic flavour notes, you may want to consider one of the Single Origin milk chocolates. We recommend using the standard fluidity to obtain a great crémeux texture. Just look for the 💧💧💧 symbol on the packaging.
