Instructions

Step 1

1. For Blackcurrant Marmalade: Mix the pectin with the sugar and set aside. Heat the currant puree over low heat until warm. Add the sugar-pectin mixture and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let it cool. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for a couple of hours until it solidifies completely. If it thickens too much, blend it to use as a filling. This filling works well with other berries too! Try using raspberries, strawberries, or cherries for variations!

Step 2

2. For Dark Chocolate Filling: Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream until it begins to simmer, then pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool to thicken. Use a good quality chocolate for the best flavor.

Step 3

3. For Milk Chocolate Filling: Combine the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and add butter, stirring until fully incorporated. Let it cool to thicken. You can refrigerate the mixture to speed up the cooling process.

Step 4

4. For White Chocolate Filling: Place the white chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and add butter, stirring until fully incorporated. Cool to thicken. White chocolate can be more challenging, so keep a close eye on the heat to prevent burning.

Step 5

5. For Coconut Filling: Mix the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and coconut flakes together in a bowl. Add cream to achieve the desired consistency. Start with a little cream and add more as needed for the perfect texture.

Step 6

6. For Mint Filling: Combine mascarpone and powdered sugar in a bowl. Add the mint extract gradually, tasting as you go, until you reach your preferred flavor. Adjust consistency with more cream if needed. Remember, mint extract can be strong, so use it sparingly at first.

Step 7

7. For Pistachio Filling: Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pistachio paste in a bowl until smooth. For a deeper flavor, slightly roast the pistachio paste before adding.

Step 8

8. For Caramel: In a saucepan, combine glucose syrup and sugar. Heat until the mixture caramelizes to a golden brown color. In another saucepan, heat the vanilla cream until warm (do not boil). Gradually pour the warm cream into the caramelized sugar mixture, stirring continuously. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened (105°C or 221°F). Remove from heat and let it cool to 50°C (122°F) before adding butter. Stir until fully incorporated. Always be cautious when working with hot caramel as it can cause severe burns.
