Chocolate mold Santa, 2 pieces

Chocolate mold Santa, 2 pieces

For chocolate making you need a high quality mold. With this professional mold made of high quality polycarbonate you can easily make 2 pretty Santas.

Chocolate mold - application

The application is very easy! Before you touch the mold, you should put on gloves, otherwise your chocolate men could be covered with fingerprints. Chop your couverture for this, if you have bought the couverture as a bar. Then melt a good two-thirds of the couverture over a bain-marie over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a liquid consistency and a nice gloss. Then add the remaining, couverture and dissolve in it while stirring occasionally. Make sure that no water gets into the couverture, as this will cause the chocolate to become crumbly and clump together. The melted mass is cooled and later heated again (called tempering).
Then pour the liquid chocolate mixture into the ramekins and pour out most of it again to create a thin, beautiful layer of chocolate. Let the chocolate cool or put the mold in the refrigerator. After you have cooled the chocolate figure halves, you can remove the chocolate from the mold. You can glue the halves together by either putting a little chocolate on the edges with a piping bag or by melting the sides in a warm pan. Again, be sure to wear gloves so your chocolate doesn't get fingerprints on it.

Decoration options are a matter of taste

Couvertures come in dark, white and milk, but chocolate comes in the most colorful options! With cocoa butter color you can color your chocolate men in your favorite color. Want to keep the natural chocolate color and just put a shimmer over your Santas? Then the powder colors to brush on the chocolate are just right. These are also available in different colors and effects. Since the diamond look is already a visual highlight, we recommend that you either color the chocolate or enhance the diamond theme with silver powder paint. There are no limits to your creativity.
How to clean your praline mold

Cleaning is done quickly

The best way to clean your mold is by hand with warm water and a little dishwashing liquid. We do not recommend the dishwasher, as the polycarbonate can warp. If the mold is to be used again immediately, you should dry your mold well and remove any water stains. This will prevent the quality of the chocolate coating from deteriorating.
