This summer, I developed a new obsession: ice cream made with craft chocolate. It all started when Peter Schoenaker introduced me to San Marco ice cream shop here in Amersfoort — a real game changer. And of course, I had to try it with Amarena cherries!

Usually paired with yoghurt, Amarena cherries can be almost too intense for a chocolate combination. But in the miniature world of a bonbon? Pure joy 🍒

Amarena + wild bitter almond + almond praline + Tanzania 70% Mark Schimmel 🍫 . As intense as it gets.

Paired with Jin Jun Mei black tea, whose honeyed sweetness and floral notes bring another layer to this intense combination.

A little taste of summer, made exclusively for your Advent Calendar. 🧚🏼🪄

Paper theatre. A little nostalgic magic. We created our own — for the Carambole family and filled it with daily surprises.

24 craft chocolates. 24 leaf teas. 24 pairings. 24 characters to cut out and play with. 24 stories to read, learn from and laugh at 🧚🏼Rather an ambitious December schedule 🪄💫

“Let nature do it!” my pastry chef used to say in the restaurant while teaching me how to plate desserts 🧚🏼

Sometimes it is just good to let things flow. No colours, no elaborate decoration. Just chocolate flowing into chocolate, creating its own patterns.

The sound of paper. The rhythm of hands. The quiet satisfaction of repetition🧚🏼‍♂️

The Carambole Advent Calendar 2026 is here 🧚🏼

🎩 Tea & Chocolate Theatre 🎭

And this time, it’s more than a limited edition — it’s a rather big little project. And there is a reason why 😉

For the past four years, I’ve been hosting tea & chocolate pairing sessions together with Sergey Shevelev from Tea Culture Club Amsterdam ✨They have always been full of discoveries and surprises. And I kept thinking: "how can I bring this experience to people who can’t join us in person?"

So I spent the past year tasting, testing and collecting, putting together 24 tea & chocolate pairings from around the world. It was quite a quest to set everything together, but sometimes magic just needs time.

Alongside craft chocolate and Carambole bonbons, every day brings a new loose-leaf tea — so you get to explore two worlds at once and discover what happens when they meet. Sometimes side by side, sometimes transformed into one creation.

And because Carambole wouldn’t be Carambole without a little play, this year, together with Artist & illustrator and Diana , we created a real paper theatre with a Christmas plot.

Every day, a new character appears together with a new pairing. Follow the story, change the roles, move the characters around, invent new scenes — or make up your own.

Perhaps that is what I love most about Carambole Advent Calendars: it is not only something to taste. It is something to discover and play with.

I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Now in my online shop.✨

How do you surprise a close friend or flirt on a beautiful evening? How do you look like an expert, spark a conversation or satisfy your inner aesthete? Carambole to the rescue! 🧚🏼

A box with 8 bonbons, featuring 4 different flavours🎩

If you and your crush aren’t as close as our paired bonbons yet, you won’t have to feel awkward by biting off half of your crush’s bonbon. This is better for you too, as each bonbon is designed to be a solo flavour journey.

With this box, an extraordinary evening is almost guaranteed. Bring it as a gift and enjoy half yourself—who could complain about that?

And if you’re not there for this tête-à-tête, rest assured the lucky duo will enjoy the set 💙🖤

Honoured to speak at the IFFI (Ingredients for Food Innovators) Culinology Anniversary event last week — a meeting point between food innovation, science and the culinary world.

I had the pleasure of sharing the Carambole story and talking about craft chocolate, creativity and the people behind it.

Thank you Andrew and Dimitris and , for inviting me and for giving the participants a chance to taste Carambole chocolate bonbons. 🤎

Always exciting to see what happens when different worlds meet 🧚🏼

Huge thanks to for the video 🎥💚
