Palle Sørensen

Denmark

Palle has won numerous Gold medals for his delicious pastries at the Nordic Championships . Beware...!

Palle Sørensen won third place at the World Chocolate Masters Final. Palle also won the awards for the best Praline and Pastry.
Inspired by the nature of the jungle and amazon forest, Palle seeks to show Quetzalcoatl reincarnated as a snake in his showpiece. The snake not only represents Quetzalcoatl but is also a symbol of lust. The power of the snake is again reflected in the creation of his necklace.

Palle's winning praline and pastry recipes reflect the tastes and ingredients of the Aztec civilisation. The hand-dipped praline, called "Ferocity", as the name implies, is an intense and unforgettable experience, with the fierceness of the lemon and ginger merging into the softness of the coconut and the avocado oil, and carefully selected chocolate to balance the taste.

Palle's chocolate pastry, as implied by the name "Crispy Adventure" is a cake divided into crispy quarters, each layer brings out different and unique flavours. The center of the pastry, dominated by avocado and lime, gives a long lasting taste of freshness.
