Passion Inspiration Fruit Couverture - 8.8oz

Inspiration Passion is part of the Valrhona Inspiration range, a range of fruit couvertures. Passion fruit couverture is a preparation based on passion fruit and cocoa butter, which can be worked like chocolate. Highly prized by pastry chefs, it is used in frozen desserts, moldings, icings or mousse. The Valrhona fruit couverture range thus gives your recipes a pleasant tangy exotic note.

History of the Inspiration range

In 2016, Valrhona innovated and offered chefs the opportunity to work with fruit like chocolate. The complex blend of cocoa butter, sugar and passion fruit reveals intense aromas and color that are completely natural. The absence of preservatives, colorings or artificial flavors now allows all pastry enthusiasts to create naturally fruity creations. This range was awarded the Grand Prix de l'Innovation at SIRHA 2017.

What to pair with the Inspiration Passion fruit couverture?

The tangy aromas of this Inspiration Passion fruit couverture blend nicely with fresh notes such as mint or Sichuan pepper. Also try pairing Inspiration Passion with more gourmet notes such as those of a sweet milk chocolate, almond paste or praline.

How to use Inspiration Passion?

The Inspiration Passion fruit couverture is ideal for making a fruit ganache. You can also use it as a fruit mousse on top of a short crust pastry and coated with a colorful icing.

Abigail W. ★★★★★

The passion fruit flavor in this couverture is genuinely tart and bright, not the fake candy taste I was bracing for. I melted it down for a batch of bonbons and the texture set up smooth with a nice snap. Easily the most interesting chocolate I've baked with this year.

Mia P. ★★★★★

I was worried the passion fruit would taste artificial, but it's genuinely tart and bright, like fresh juice. It sets up beautifully for ganache and the 8.8oz block is easy to chop into even pieces.

George Q. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a fruit-based couverture, but this one melts down to a silky texture that worked perfectly for dipping. The passion fruit taste is bright and tangy without being overly sweet. Already thinking about what I'll coat with the next batch.
