Dark chocolate 56%, 350 g
You want to fill Pralines, glaze cakes or create a glossy drip cake? The Dark chocolate 56% comes in a 350 g bag and is designed as a couverture for exactly that: it melts evenly, can be tempered and gives your creations a beautiful, dark cocoa note. Ideal for hobby bakers who want to work with real chocolate at home.
From praline to drip cake
This Dark chocolate accompanies you through many baking projects: use it to coat filled Pralines, shape delicate chocolate decorations, cover baked goods with a glossy icing or let it run down a cake in fine streams. Even dipping fresh strawberries or refining a mousse works effortlessly.
Why tempering makes the difference
For the chocolate to look beautifully glossy and snap cleanly afterwards, simply melting it is not enough: the couverture must be tempered. This takes it through three phases — melting, cooling and reheating — only then is it ready to work with at its best. If you'd like to look at each step in detail, you'll find a comprehensive step-by-step guide on our blog.
Easy to work with at home
You can melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave. In the microwave, work at around 800 watts in short intervals, stirring in between each time so nothing burns. It's important that no water gets into the mixture, otherwise the chocolate will seize.
What is Dark chocolate 56% suitable for?
It is suitable for Pralines, chocolate decorations, icings, drip cakes and for refining mousses. For mousse, simply melting is enough; for glossy coatings and moulded pieces you should temper the couverture. Chocolate-dipped fruits also turn out particularly beautifully with it.
Store the chocolate in a cool, dry place at 12 to 20 °C and keep it away from strong odours so it retains its flavour. Kept well sealed, it stays fresh for a long time and is ready whenever your next baking idea takes hold.
When the first Praline you've poured yourself drops out of the mould and snaps with a glossy shine, you'll know why real couverture is worth it.
