Peanut Butter and Jelly by Reece Colliier

Reece Collier is sharing with us his lovely recipe inspired by the classic childhood flavour of peanut butter and jelly. The fruity dark chocolate works incredibly well with freshly picked raspberries, and the depth of cocoa flavour really lends itself nicely to the peanut butter.

Raspberry Glaze


Water   150g
Caster Sugar  300g
Glucose   300g
Double Cream  200g
Raspberry Puree   150g
Water    180g
Powdered Gelatine  30g (mixed with water to form a paste)
Red Food Colour  Preference

Bring the sugar, glucose and the first amount of water to 107°C. Pour over the prepared gelatine, followed by the double cream and raspberry puree. Leave overnight before glazing. Glaze at 40°C.

Whipped Or Noir Ganache

Whipping Cream  225g
Glucose   25g
Invert Sugar  25g
Or Noir Chocolate  250g (or any other Cacao Barry dark chocolate of your choice)
Whipping Cream  400g

Boil the first amount of cream, glucose and invert sugar and pour over the chocolate. Emulsify with a immersion blender. Add the remaining cold whipping cream whilst still continuing to blend. Leave in the fridge overnight before whipping to the required piping consistency.

Make a creme pate using the cream, sugar, yolks and cornflour. Add the prepared gelatine followed by the chocolate. Add the peanut butter and whisk to smooth paste. Incorporate 250g of the whipping cream to loosen the mixture. Then, semi-whip the remaining cream and fold through the mixture. Set and freeze before glazing.
