Join Chocolate Academy New York Head Chef Nicoll Notter for an exclusive one-day masterclass tailored specifically for pastry professionals in restaurants and bakeries.
In this class with Chef Nicoll, you will gain an understanding of two of the foundations of pastry: tarts and petits fours. Learn how to perfect your pâte sablée, how to line tart rings and many other foundational tricks that will help take your tarts to the next level. Using this new knowledge, you will embark on the subject of petits fours. Using pâte sablée, meringue and Cacao Barry chocolate, you will craft multiple bite-sized treats of different flavors and textures.
Expect to leave this class with new recipes, a deeper understanding of basic techniques and the excitement to create your own, new tarts and petits fours.
*This class will be highly demonstration-focused.
