Steps:
- Before starting this Chocolates with Praline Filling recipe, organise the necessary ingredients for the tempering process.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave, working in periods of 1 minute. Make sure you don't melt the chocolate for too long so it doesn't burn. Stir the chocolate during every interval until melted completely.
- Stir the melted chocolate with a rubber spatula. At this stage, the temperature should be between 40 and 45°C maximum. The use of a laser thermometer is recommended for this operation.
- Wait until the temperature goes down to 35°C. To speed things up, transfer the chocolate from one bowl to the other.
- The temperature is gradually cooling down (38.2°C in the picture).
- Combine well with a rubber spatula until cooled down to the desired temperature. Try to combine constantly.
- The temperature is now at 35.4°C.
- Add Mycryo cocoa butter (1% of the total weight of chocolate). We need 5 grams for this recipe. Sift the powder through a fine sieve.
- Combine the Mycryo cocoa butter carefully with a rubber spatula and incorporate to the warm chocolate.
- Continue stirring while monitoring the temperature. Milk chocolate needs to cool down to 28°C.
- You will notice the temperature is slowly cooling down...
- ... 30.6°C...
- ... 29.4°C...
- ... 28,9°C...
- ... and eventually the desired 28°C. The process and temperatures are exactly the same for white chocolate. The difference with dark chocolate is the final temperature (31°C instead of 28°C).
- Fill the cavities of the mould of your choice. For this recipe I used a chocolate mould with swirled round shapes. No matter what mould you use, make sure the cavities are deep.
- Fill the cavities up to the top, even overflowing a little. From now on, the chocolate should be maintained at a temperature of 28°C.
- Using the handle of a chocolate spatula, tap on the sides of the mould to remove air bubbles. This will prevent the formation of air bubbles on the surface of the chocolates.
- Flip the mould over the chocolate bowl to empty the cavities. Let the chocolate to drip off.
- Tap the side of the mould with the spatula to get rid of the excess.
- Place the mould on your workbench and scrape the surface with the spatula to remove any chocolate excess.
- Leave to crystallize for now.
- Flip the mould onto a sheet of greaseproof paper...
- ... and leave to cool at room temperature.
- For the praline filling: Organise all the ingredients.
- In a bowl, place the Mycryo cocoa butter or cocoa butter mass. Both types can be used for this recipe. Add the dark and milk chocolate. Melt in the microwave.
- Combine the melted cocoa butter and chocolate together carefully with a rubber spatula.
- In a separate bowl, place the almond and hazelnut praline paste...
- ... add the artisanal hazelnut paste...
- ... and combine with the spatula.
- Add the chocolate and cocoa butter preparation...
- ... and combine with the rubber spatula.
- The preparation should be around 25°C.
- Transfer the preparation in a piping bag...
- ... close the bag...
- ... and lay it flat on the worktop surface.
- At this stage, the chocolate is partially crystallized. You might notice some chocolate shells are already detached from the mould, thanks to the see-through material. This means the tempering process has been done correctly.
- Flip the mould on your workbench...
- ... with the cavities facing up.
- Using the chocolate spatula, scrape the surface of the mould.
- Cut the tip of the bag containing the praline filling in order to obtain a diameter of 0.5 cm. Fill all cavities and leave a 3mm gap on top. This gap is important to close the shell.
- At this point, the chocolates should look like this. Place in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Take the mould out of the fridge when the filling has set.
- Cover all the cavities with a layer of tempered chocolate...
- ... using a piping bag for a more precise operation.
- Tap with the spatula handle to get rid of air bubbles.
- Scrape the surface again.
- Leave to crystallize in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Take the mould out of the fridge and flip it on your workbench. Slightly twist the mould to release the chocolates. The chocolate should come away from the mould very easily.
- Collect all the chocolates...
- ... and store them in the fridge.
- Enjoy these delicious chocolates! They should have a glossy finish without any white marks.
PRALINE CAKE FILLING
I was looking for a praline cake filling and found this on the internet. I found the original recipe to be too thick. While it didn't harden like a praline, it was just simply too thick. I've adjusted the quantities of milk and powdered sugar in order to have a filling that is spreadable. After it cools, you may need to thin it with a little more evaporated milk. If it's too thick start adding one tablespoon at a time until you get a consistency that can easily be spread on a cake without tearing the cake. You are looking for a consistency that will slowly drip off of your mixing spoon. There are other recipes for praline fillings that aren't cooked. However, I find that the cooking of the mixture adds extra flavor and a richness that will not achieve by just mixing the ingredients together. I love to make a yellow cake and use this filling and ice with a chocolate buttercream frosting and then pour a chocolate ganache over the top of the cake and let it drip down the sides.

This show-stopping cake roll was one of the first "complicated" recipes I ever attempted to prepare. I discovered it was easier to make than I'd thought--and worth every bit of effort! - Joan Carrico, Grand Junction, Colorado

PRALINE NAPOLEONS WITH ALMOND CREAM FILLING
These multilayered sweets satisfy on a few levels. We've improved on the patisserie classic by filling its dense, buttery pastry layers with piped ruffles of almond-infused cream and a sprinkling of crushed praline. A crisp shard of the nut-studded candy caps off each serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out twelve 4 1/2-by-2 3/4 inch rectangles; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and prick with a fork. Brush with egg, and cover with parchment. Top with a baking sheet. Chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
- With top sheet still in place, bake until pastry is crisp and golden, 30 to 32 minutes. Remove top sheet and parchment. Let pastry cool completely on bottom parchment on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat. Stir together sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring, until sugar begins to melt and turn light amber, about 3 minutes. Wash down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush as needed to prevent crystals from forming. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture turns dark amber, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from heat; stir in almonds. Pour mixture onto prepared sheet. Using an oiled offset spatula, spread to 1/8 inch thick. Let cool completely. Transfer half of the praline to a plastic bag; using a rolling pin, gently crush into very small pieces; set aside. Break remaining praline into large pieces using your hands.
- Transfer the almond cream filling to a pastry bag fitted with a petal tip (such as Wilton #127). Pipe filling onto 6 pastry rectangles; sprinkle each with crushed praline. Layer with another pastry rectangle and filling. Top each with a piece of praline.
