Chocolate stamp Home Made

You can use the stamped chocolate as decoration for cakes, cupcakes, muffins or other pastries. This edible decoration element is quickly made, tastes delicious and is an individual eye-catcher for your next baking creation.

How to apply the stamp

As soon as possible you want to try a new tool in the kitchen. With this stamp you have to be patient. Put the stamp a day before use in a freezer compartment, because only in this way you will get a clean result. Before you can make your chocolate stamps, you must temper the chocolate coating, either by using a tempering device or by melting it over a water bath. The melted mass is cooled and later heated again (called tempering). Now place a clean baking paper on a smooth surface. Now you can fill your tempered chocolate into a piping bag and place 4-5 chocolate cookies (diameter approx. 2cm) on the baking paper. The stamp can now be used. Place the frozen stamp vertically on the chocolate cookie. Release the stamp for a few seconds and carefully lift the stamp again from the stamped chocolate vertically. Allow the chocolate decoration to cool. You can speed up the process by placing the chocolate stamp in the refrigerator. When the chocolate is solid again, you can use a metallic bronze powder paint and a brush to make the stamp look even more real. Give your stamp a real vintage look.

That is why you should put the stamp in the freezer compartment

Couverture should not be tempered above 45 degrees Celsius, because above that temperature the couverture could burn, making it unusable. Most freezer compartments are set at -18 degrees Celsius and your stamp should be at about that temperature. If you stamped the chocolate just like that, you wouldn't be able to see anything in the chocolate because all the chocolate coating would stick to your stamp. The frozen stamp ensures that the chocolate coating cools down quickly and becomes solid. So little will stick to the stamp and the pretty motif comes out well already.

Cleaning

Of course, it happens from time to time that some chocolate sticks in the stamp. The wooden part of the stamp can only be briefly rinsed with a little water. The metal attachment can be easily removed and washed individually. This you can also easily put in the dishwasher.
