About this Pre-Recorded Class:

Calling all chocolate lovers! This is your chance to learn about working with chocolates with a celebrated chocolatier. Paul Young, author of “The Joy of Chocolate,” wants to bring the joys of great chocolate to your home kitchen via this pre-recorded Zoom class. After covering the bases, like what to look for when shopping for chocolate, we’ll jump into two chocolate-forward confections. First, if you’re short of time and need to whip up a dessert that is both deeply chocolatey and totally impressive, Paul’s truffle torte is your one-stop shop. The base is a convenient no-bake combination of almonds, white chocolate and honey, and the chocolate torte itself calls for just three ingredients. You read that right: a torte for which all you need is chocolate, sugar and heavy cream. But it’s the recipes with the shortest ingredient lists that depend most on technique, and this one is no exception. Paul will show you how to achieve a creamy, luxurious chocolate mixture without running any risk of seized chocolate or gritty bits of sugar. For chocolate lovers, one single dessert simply isn’t enough, so we’ll then turn from tortes to cookies. Paul’s Triple-Chocolate Sandwich Cookies use three types of chocolate: a robust 72% cacao, a sweet 40% milk chocolate and a dash of real white chocolate. (What is “real” white chocolate, you ask? Paul will fill you in!) The richness of the chocolate is balanced by toasty brown butter and nutty rye flour in the cookies, which are good enough that you could make them without the triple-chocolate filling—but why would you? Join us to treat yourself and all the chocolate lovers in your life.
