Chocolate-hazelnut dessert creams like Danette Liégeois

I have already made several versions of dessert creams here (pistachio, vanilla, dulcey) but there was one flavor that might be the most indulgent of all: chocolate-hazelnut! A cream with milk chocolate and hazelnut, topped with hazelnut whipped cream for an even more indulgent Liège effect. Here’s an easy, very quick dessert that everyone will love 😉

Ingredients & equipment:
I used the chocolate Jivara from Valrhona : code ILETAITUNGATEAU for 20% off everything on the site (affiliate).
My piping bags from Matfer come from Guy Demarle: code FLAVIE10 upon registration for €10 off with a purchase of €69 or more (affiliate).
I used hazelnut puree from Koro: code ILETAITUNGATEAU for 5% off everything on the site (non-affiliate).

Preparation time: 20 minutes + chilling time
For 6 people:

The dessert cream:

300g whole milk
200g heavy cream
100g Jivara milk chocolate
60g hazelnut puree
15g cornstarch

In a saucepan, mix the cornstarch, milk, cream, and hazelnut puree cold using a whisk. Then, place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until the cream thickens, like pastry cream.



Off the heat, add the chocolate, mix well, then pour into your individual pots and let cool completely in the refrigerator.



The hazelnut whipped cream:

100g heavy cream
10g icing sugar
1 tablespoon hazelnut puree

When the creams have cooled, whip the cream with the sugar and hazelnut puree.



Pipe it onto the creams before enjoying!
