Afternoon Tea Summer Collection

Going to The Ritz or taking in a game at your local cricket club, listening to the sounds of leather on willow, spending time at the seaside or that picnic in some remote corner of a cornflower field deep in the countryside. The afternoon tea is quintessentially British. I enjoyed the high tea whilst playing cricket in my younger days as much as I did batting for the team. Cucumber sandwiches, scones and jam with clotted cream and a lovely chocolate cake – just perfect for a pastry chef.

This year’s summer collection captures all my favourite items on an Afternoon Tea menu. We hope that you enjoy our version of afternoon tea seasonal handmade chocolates. Please note that this artisan Summer Collection contains chocolates that may contain allergens, including soya, nuts, milk, and gluten. We also work in a kitchen environment where peanuts are sometimes used.

Every chocolate from our various collections is designed to be suitable for vegetarian diets. They are exclusively handmade in small batches by me and my small team at our chocolate kitchen in North Norfolk. To keep up to date with everything going on in our chocolate world and be the first to know of our new collections, chocolate developments, plans, and events, visit us at www.hunterschocolate.co.uk and sign up to our email list. You won’t regret this, as we are developing some exciting products and courses for the year ahead.

Lastly, if you don’t want to eat these chocolates as soon as you receive them (and we strongly urge you to give in to temptation, abandon any guilt, to try them immediately!), then please store them in a cool and dry environment away from direct sunlight and strong food odours.

Gâteau Opéra

Gâteau Opéra – Coffee and Dark Chocolate

Using this French classic coffee and dark chocolate cake for inspiration, made famous by the Parisienne bakery Dalloyau as a tribute to the auditorium of the Palais Garnier. We have created a 70% dark chocolate ganache balanced with an espresso caramel to create our version of the Opéra with a chocolate bonbon. We have also used a dark 70% couverture shell that delivers a highly intense cocoa sensation with a lasting length on the palette.

Strawberry Jam Scone

Strawberry Jam Scone – Strawberry, Clotted Cream and Scone

We couldn’t do this collection without our version of a classic strawberry scone and cream. This has a strawberry pate de fruit with a white chocolate ganache made with clotted cream and finished with a scone base. We have double lined the shell with a thin layer of white couverture and then finished with a second shell of milk couverture which works wonderfully with the overall structural balance of the chocolate bonbon.

Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake – Carrot Cake and Cinnamon

This is a carrot cake ganache recipe that has been developed using the fundamental flavours of the traditional cake. The soft balance of flavours of carrot, spices, muscovado and cream cheese work well with our caramelised white chocolate shell which gives this chocolate a rounded eating experience.

Battenberg

Battenberg – Almond and Apricot

Our favourite cake! A traditional English cake, we love its yellow and pink patterns and the connection to the royal family to honour the marriage of Princess Victoria to Prince Louis of Battenberg. It was also a cake layer for Gary and Nichola’s own wedding cake. This bonbon is flavoured with an almond ganache and an apricot pate de fruit, finished with a disc of fine marzipan on the base. The shell is made from a white couverture to encase the flavours of the almond filling.

Summer Fruit Tart

Summer Fruit Tart – Summer Fruits and Vanilla

We create a natural fruit gel with our mix of pure summer fruits which is layered with our vanilla cream ganache. Lightly baked short pastry is then used to create a biscuity base, which marries perfectly to create our own summer fruit tart. This is encased in a 70% dark couverture as a foil to create this chocolate bonbon.

Cucumber Sandwich

Cucumber Sandwich – Cucumber and Brown Bread and Butter

The shell of this chocolate is made from our in-house blended milk couverture shell. It is a darker and more powerful cocoa flavour to balance the sweetness of the overall bonbon, and it works exceptionally well with flavours such as our brown bread and butter ganache. The cucumber element is a gel that we have developed to produce our own ‘afternoon tea sandwich’ to create the perfect afternoon tea menu.
