Chocolate Entremet “Le Criollo”

Recipe by Chef Sylvain - Long live pastry!

A refined entremet based on a spiced genoise, a chocolate ganache turned into a chantilly, a honey‑cocoa syrup, Amarena cherries and tempered chocolate decorations. Inspired by the highly sought‑after criollo cocoa, this elegant dessert is composed in several stages: baking the sponge, preparing the syrup, making the ganache, assembly and final decoration.
