Tonka Beans Powder

40g

Mélodie Gourmande

Tonka bean powder is an economical choice as it is used in small quantities.

This bean is very fragrant, with a sweet almond flavor that is slightly spicy and smoky. Its enchanting aroma has notes of vanilla and caramel, making it a popular ingredient in desserts such as crème anglaise, crème brûlée, cakes, and chocolate.

It takes approximately 7 to 8 Tonka beans to make 10g of powder.

In cooking, just a small amount of ground Tonka bean (0.1g) is enough to add flavor to the entire dish. We recommend mixing the ground Tonka bean with a few grains of fine salt for even distribution. This trick is also used in baking, by replacing the salt with sugar.

For heavier preparations such as dark chocolate ganache, honey-glazed baked apples, or almond cream, 1 to 2g of ground Tonka bean is needed.

If you are unsure about the amount to use, it is best to add a little less to your preparation and sprinkle a few particles on your dishes, desserts, or cocktails at the last moment.

When making jam, it is important to use Tonka bean sparingly as its aroma intensifies as the jam cools and continues to be released for 4 to 5 days after sterilization.
