If you were here this yesterday, then you were able to see a sneak peek of Master Chocolatier Jacques Torres’ amazing chocolate shop in NYC. In preparation for the holidays, I had a chance to have a “sweet talk” with Jacques and make chocolate Christmas trees with him. Check out the vlog to see Jacques teaching me a little of his craft.
Jacques has also graciously offered up a delicious chocolate gift to one lucky winner. Simply guess in the comment area what you think Jacques made for his first ever dessert as a pastry chef and we’ll pick a random winner from the correct guesses. I’ll announce the winner next Wednesday. Ready. Set. Chocolat….
Enjoy!
Love the video, looks like you had so much fun! The trees turned out perfect! I think Jacques made chocolate cake for his first dessert!
Hum… Chocolate Chip Cookies? Does it counts as dessert?
First ever? I’d guess chocolate chip cookies…

I’m going to guess Parisian macarons, because they’re my favorite.
A chocolate croissant….not quite dessert, but very french.
Awsome. I loved watching his tv show when it was on. Chocolate truffles have to be my guess.
I LOVE chocolate, my grandmother started a chocolate factory and when I was 3 months old she would give me licks of ganache. I am going to guess from Jacques Torres’ southern french origins he would have made Tarte Tatin.
I’m guessing he made petits fours!
I love chocolate making. I’m planning on doing some truffles this weekend. I think that Jacques Torres would have either made an apple gallet / Apple Tart Tatin or a creme brule.
Chocolate mousse!
Lucky you! Looked like a lot of fun!

I would guess Chocolate Chip cookies also. Isn’t that what we all learned to bake with?
I will guess a decadent and out of this world chocolate cake!!!!!!!!
Going basic here with BROWNIES
I would say…chocolate souffle! MmMm! With hand whipped whip cream on top!
Hmmm…I want chocolate from Jacques so badly! I am going to have to guess because I really have no clue – puff pastry? Perhaps with chocolate in it? He worked at a pastry shop in the beginning, so that’s the best I can do.
What a great experience to make moulded chocolate with Jacques!
I would say a chocolate cake.
Chocolate meringues?
