“The perfect chocolate is all about mixing the right ingredients and patiently allowing them to connect into the right taste sensation. That is why I created my own chocolate bar, bringing together the texture and flavour of velvet white chocolate and the acidity and freshness of lime juice and zest.”

Finishing and serving

Line a chocolate bar mould with a thin layer of tempered dark chocolate Callebaut® 60-40-41 to create a chocolate shell and allow to set completely. Pipe a thin layer of lime jelly and allow to set. Pipe a second layer of white chocolate ganache. Be careful to fill the mould almost completely, leaving only 2 mm to add the final layer of tempered chocolate.
