Ingredients

Preparation

  4. Repeat with the other two cocoa butter colors.
  5. In a small bowl, mix some kirsch with some IBC creative gold powder. Dip the sponge in and dab the mold. Turn the mold upside down and wipe it clean on a piece of paper towel.

Closing The Chocolates

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Warm the top of the chocolate mold with the heat gun.

  3. Allow the chocolate to crystallize at 10 to 12ºC (50ºF to 53ºF) for about an hour.
  4. To unmold, remove the guitar sheet, twist the mold and cover with a parchment paper sheet and a metal tray. Turn the mold upside down and remove the mold. If the chocolates don’t come out, tap the mold a few times to release them.
