Mohrenkopf Patisserie Course

The Patisserie Mohrenkopf, which is very popular in confectionery, is a ball made of sponge cake dough, which is filled with vanilla cream and covered with chocolate, mocha or coloured melting fondant. Please note that the Patisserie Mohrenkopf (also called chocolate ball) is not to be confused with the Schaumkuss or Schokokuss, which is filled with an airy egg white snow.

In this patisserie course you will make this delicious pastry as a mini patisserie. From the classic, which is filled with a vanilla cream and covered with chocolate fondant, to the popular mocha beans or the more elaborate hearts, which are filled with raspberry cream. There are so many different flavours, so there's bound to be something for everyone.

In the Mohrenkopf Patisserie course, we first start by making the vanilla cream. Everyone makes their own cream, which is later refined with different flavours. Then comes the more difficult part of the course, namely the production of the sponge and the subsequent moulding in different shapes.

After baking, you will fill the mini-patisserie with different creams, glue them together, then glaze them and later cover them with different types of fondant. You will learn to which temperature the fondant should be heated and how to cover the patisserie with the self-heated fondant and how to decorate it creatively later.

At the end of the course, each participant goes home with about 20 different mini patisserie carrot heads. The carrot heads taste best on the day they are made, but can still be enjoyed a day or two later without any problems. Please note, however, that the icing may then dissolve somewhat.
