Chocolate mold chickens, 4 pieces

Chocolate mold chickens, 4 pieces

With this mold, you can create four little chickens that are perfect as a gift or for the Easter nest. The chocolate mold provides four small chickens that look attractive even without additional color thanks to their fine structure. Suitable as individual chocolate animals for Easter or as a special gift. How is it used? First clean the mold with lukewarm water and gentle washing-up liquid (without lye or rinse aid), rinse thoroughly, dry very well, then just hold by the edges and polish with non-fraying absorbent cotton or a fine handkerchief. Only use high-quality, tempered couverture - in a tempering device or in a water bath, avoiding any contact with water. Colored cocoa butter or tempered couverture are suitable for make-up; white couverture can be colored with fat-soluble powder colors. For a beige tone, mix 1/3 milk couverture with 2/3 white couverture (both tempered) and do not overmix. Work from the outside in, applying the paint with a fine brush, sponge or gloves, allowing each layer to set slightly and turning the mold in between to check the result. Once the details are finished, brush the entire mold with the desired couverture, remove any air pockets and clean the edges with the metal horn. Stick the mold halves together and fix them securely with the clamps provided. Fill the mold completely with a soup ladle, tap the edge with the spatula handle, turn it over the bowl and allow any excess couverture to run out. If the wall is too thin, repeat the process. Wipe off drops and chill for 2-5 minutes. For the base, spread some couverture on baking paper, press the chilled mold firmly and place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, remove the clamps and chill again for the same amount of time. To unmold, carefully run the spatula into the joint and release the figure. Then decorate with fondant or sugar decorations as desired and wrap.
