Making fine chocolates yourself is a wonderful thing, however, not everyone likes to make hollow bodies themselves or there is simply not enough time. This is not a problem, hollow bodies can also be bought prepared and so everyone has the opportunity to enjoy homemade chocolates and give them as a gift.

Praline hollow body - application

First, decide on a suitable filling. Would you like an alcoholic filling with cherry, a delicious orange ganache or a typical mocha chocolate? Create your own filling and be brave! Try different mixtures and find your favorite praline!

You can start from a very simple recipe:

Dark chocolate ganache

140 g dark couverture

70 g cream

10 g glucose

5 g Sorbitol

5 g butter

Put the couverture pieces aside in a stainless steel bowl. In a pan you can now boil the remaining ingredients while stirring gently. Pour the hot cream mixture over the couverture. Let it stand for half a minute so that the chocolate can absorb the heat. Then you can stir gently with a whisk until a homogeneous mass is formed. If any chocolate pieces remain, place the bowl on the hotplate and continue stirring. Once everything has melted, allow the ganache to cool a little.

You can add other ingredients to this ganache. 20 g of cherry or a little orange cream give a delicious taste. For a mocha chocolate, it is best to replace about 20 g of the cream with espresso. Mix different ingredients and try new combinations!

You can then fill the filling, which has a maximum temperature of 27 degrees, into the hollow bodies using a piping bag. Fill all the chocolates up to 3 mm below the edge. Leave the filled hollow bodies to stand at room temperature for about half an hour. This forms a thin skin over the filling, which makes sealing much easier. Using a piping bag, add couverture to all openings. Tap the molds lightly on the table or shake them gently so that the couverture is well distributed and seals the chocolates securely.

Now you can decorate the chocolates right away. Sprinkle freeze-dried fruits, nuts or dried flower petals on the still liquid couverture or stick a chocolate tattoo on the surface. Put the hollow bodies in the mold in the refrigerator. After about half an hour, you can remove the mold and quickly invert it onto a clean, smooth surface. This way, the noble shapes come out very easily.
