Fondant is a sweet, neutral filling for chocolates made from sugar, water and glucose syrup. Because it is semi-liquid, rather than firm like fondant icing, it is easy to colour, flavour and pipe into moulded chocolate shells, bonbons and bars, and it is most famous as the centre of a particular egg-shaped treat.
How Do I Flavour Fondant?
Mix in alcohol concentrates, fruit and flavour pastes or flavour oils to make fruity, minty or boozy centres, then colour to match. Bakers Fondant from Belgosuc is a blank canvas, so one fondant can carry several flavours across a range of bonbons.
Why Choose Fondant Over Ganache?
Fondant is an economical alternative to ganache. It is easy to store and has a long shelf life, which makes it a practical filling when you want to build stock of moulded chocolates.
