Magical Christmas at Amolatte Confectionery

The Christmas spirit is already in the air! This year, the date is more than special, with everyone wanting to celebrate it alongside their loved ones. Thinking about this, pastry chef Flávia Herkenhoff, who runs Amolatte Confectionery, has prepared several delights especially for this period when gestures of affection make all the difference. There are sweets, cookies, Panettones, as well as special kits, and also the Bolottone, the company’s main star. "We want to offer a magical atmosphere for everyone during this time, with many treats to sweeten such a special moment," highlights Flávia.

One of the Christmas delicacies that cannot be missed from any Christmas menu is the Panettone. The famous sweet bread made with candied fruits appears in the Chocottone version crafted by Flávia. "There are several options such as the Choconinho made with a filling of Ninho cream with chocolate brigadeiro (R$ 90); the Dressed Tone, made with a filling of chocolate brigadeiro with a textured golden chocolate shell (R$100); Oreo with Nutella made with a filling of Ninho cream with Oreo and Nutella rose topping (R$125); Red Fruits with a filling of red fruit brigadeiro with homemade jam (R$110) and the Traditional ones which can be Chocolate, Dulce de Leche, Ninho, and Oreo (R$ 80)," describes the confectioner. All Chocottones weigh approximately 1 kg.

To sweeten everyone’s Christmas, Flávia has also created sweet options for those who are not big fans of Panettone, but still want a good dessert for the occasion. Among the options, the highlight is the ‘Paradise in a Cup’, a cup with Ninho cream, brownie, semi-bitter brigadeiro, and strawberries, which also weighs approximately 1 kg and costs R$ 100. “The cool thing is that the person takes the treat in the cup and besides the delight that will be enjoyed with family, they can also use the utensil afterwards,” says Flávia. The pies also have their place, and the available flavors are Chocolate Brigadeiro; Ninho with Strawberries and Lemon with Meringue, all for R$ 90.

The Red Velvet cake (photo on the cover) has its reserved place at Amolatte and cannot be left out of this special menu. “It is made with the traditional cream cheese filling and topped with chantininho and brigadeiros. Its size is calculated by slices, one with 15 slices costs R$ 150,” explains Flávia.

For those who like to give gifts with memories, there’s no need to worry, Flávia has created a variety of treats with lots of sweetness. Including the confectioner's favorite, the Bolottone (R$ 38). “It is a Chocottone made with amarena cherry cake dough and filled with semi-bitter chocolate, weighing approximately 200 grams. “I thought of this smaller size for gift options and also for those who live alone or who like sweets but don’t want to overdo it,” she explains.

The Love with Chocolate Boxes are also options in this way, with four or eight brigadeiros. It costs R$ 20 and R$ 35. The Magical Christmas Box comes with four filled sweets packaged with messages (Brownie and/or Bem Casado) and costs R$ 45. Finally, the Mini Chocottone in chocolate weighs approximately 200 grams, costs R$ 35, and there’s also the Chocottone in a jar – a version of the chocottone in a glass jar in white and dark chocolate flavors; Ninho with Nutella and Chocolate with Nuts weighing approximately 180 grams and costing R$ 38. There’s also a zero sugar option among the Christmas suggestions: The Zero Sugar Pudding costs R$ 120. All come in a special Christmas packaging.

One of the recipes holds a special place in the heart of the pastry chef, the Grandma Orzalina’s Cookie. “These cookies are recipes from my grandmother’s polvilho cookies, and I created them in her honor, with her recipe that I took from her notebook,” says Flávia. For her, honoring her grandmother during this pandemic period was very special precisely because she couldn’t see her more often. “It moves me a lot and I think I got the recipe right,” she says.
