She and her team prepared various applications of the new Ruby chocolate, including tablets of the chocolate, truffles, little chocolate coated balls, chocolate marshmallows, a ruby mousse, and more. Chef Minette emphasised that the pink colour is natural, from the Ruby cocoa bean, with no flavourants or colourants added. She also advised that it be used in its pure form, and warned that attempts to extract the acidity (with a 3,4 pH level) will result in the chocolate turning grey. Other applications for the new Ruby chocolate is in sauces, cremeaux, and glazes.
