Delicious Nut Shell Fillings and Storage Tips

Start by choosing your favorite ganache, which can be made with various types of chocolate. If you prefer a richer flavor, dark chocolate ganache works wonderfully. Combine your ingredients until smooth.

Remember, you may want to experiment with white or milk chocolate as well for a diverse range of flavors in your nut shells!

For those who enjoy a bit of extra crunch, mix 40 grams (1.4 ounces) of egg yolk with 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of heavy cream. Apply this mixture to the inner sides of the baked nut shells.

A brush or a spray gun can help cover a large amount quickly. This step will enhance the texture and make your shells more enjoyable to bite into.

After applying the egg yolk and cream mixture, place the shells in the oven. Bake them at a temperature of 160°C (320°F) for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how light or dark your shells appear.

Allow the shells to cool before filling them with your ganache. This will ensure that the filling maintains its smooth consistency without melting the shell!

Once filled, these nut shells can be frozen and stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. This is ideal if you are preparing items in advance for a celebration or event.

For even longer storage, keep your fillings and shells separate; they can last longer when not combined.

You may wonder how to coat your nut shells in chocolate effectively. The great news is that you don't need molds or to temper your chocolate. Simply melt it, coat your shells, and set them aside to cool.

This simple technique will give your nut shells an attractive, delicious finish without too much hassle!
