FAQ ❓

Why should I freeze raspberries before coating them in chocolate?

This will allow the white chocolate to set quickly around the fruit and also prevent the raspberries from softening or releasing any juice.
You can melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave. If you heat it in the microwave, microwave it for 30 seconds, stir the chocolate, microwave it for another 30 seconds, stir again and repeat until it reaches the desired consistency. Our tip: chop the chocolate as finely as possible so that it melts quickly! Warning: white chocolate can become grainy or even burn if heated too much.
It's best to use pistachio purée (with no added sugar), but you can also use pistachio spread or pistachio praline. You may need to adjust the amount of white chocolate in the mixture so that it remains liquid before coating!
Depending on the pistachio paste you use, the coating will be more or less green, and therefore more or less contrasting with the white chocolate. If you're using a fairly light-colored pistachio spread, you can omit steps 2, 3 and 4 and remove the plain white chocolate from the ingredients.
If you store the pistachio purée, pistachio spread or pistachio praline you'll be using in the fridge, it may not be liquid enough to incorporate easily into the white chocolate. We recommend heating the pistachio paste slightly to make it more liquid. 15 seconds in the microwave will suffice.
You can replace it with another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or peanut butter, to vary the flavors!
You can replace them with another nut, such as roasted hazelnuts or almonds! Choose them to match the paste you use (see previous question)!
Store Franui in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent them from softening or melting too quickly. Take them out a few minutes before serving so they can regain their softer texture. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks without losing their flavor or crunch, but you can of course keep them longer if you wish.
