The coffee drop by chef Jean-Pierre Godier

A refined creation by chef Jean-Pierre Godier made with our professional silicone mould
Chef Jean-Pierre Godier presents a highly sophisticated pastry creation: the Coffee Drop. This elegant and technically advanced recipe subtly blends the deep aromas of coffee with the sweetness of milk chocolate and the crispness of a cinnamon-flavoured sweet pastry.
Designed for professionals, it is meant to be made using our drop-shaped silicone mould (MAE ref. 011794), ensuring a perfect shape, clean release and a premium finish.
This recipe yields 24 individual petits gâteaux and can be found alongside our full range of food-grade silicone moulds.
