Pure chocolate bonbonIngredients
150gdark chocolate (couverture 53.8% by Callebaut)
Preparation
- Heat the 450 grams of chocolate in the melting pot to 45ºC. Check the temperature with a thermometer. If you do not have a chocolate melting pot, you can also do this au bain marie or in the microwave. Make sure the microwave is not on full power.
- Gradually add the 150 grams of chocolate to the melted chocolate until 32°C is reached. Stirring the chocolate well is an important part of tempering.
- We always do a test first by placing a spoonful of chocolate on some parchment paper to see if the chocolate hardens properly and sets with a nice shine.
- Then fill the bonbon mold with dark chocolate couverture. Tap out the air with the back of a palette knife and then pour the dark chocolate out again.
- Fill the molds as desired and finish with a thin layer of tempered chocolate for the base.
