Chocolate Cornflake Clusters
Jacques Torres always tries to bring contrast to every dessert. He discovered corn flakes years ago and, being a pastry chef, wondered what would happen if he covered them with chocolate.

How to Make Chocolate Corn Flakes: Tips for Tempering

Go to Recipe

If you don’t have an instant-read thermometer, a simple method of checking tempering is to apply a small quantity of chocolate to a piece of paper or to the point of a knife. If the chocolate has been correctly tempered it will harden evenly and show a good gloss within five minutes.
