Method

To prepare the mould:

Always start with a clean and polished mould. 

Make the shells for your mould using tempered caramelised milk chocolate (for help on tempering please refer to our video section).

Once the shells are made and set, fill them with the malted milk ganache ensuring to leave 2mm from the top.

Leave the mould to crystallise overnight at 16-18c. 

Cap the chocolates using more tempered caramelised milk chocolate. 

Turn the chocolates out. 

To create the velvet effect:

Pop the chocolates into the freezer 10 minutes before spraying. 

Make up a spray mixture of caramelised milk chocolate and cocoa butter and hold this at 45c. 

Remove chocolates from the freezer and spray your chocolates using an airbrush.

The cocoa butter will set instantly creating the velvet effect.
