Whether for birthdays, jungle theme parties or as an unusual alternative to classic chocolate figures, the monkey is guaranteed to make people smile. Before casting, clean the chocolate mold with lukewarm water and mild detergent, rinse it thoroughly and leave it to dry completely. Then hold the mold by the edge only and polish it with non-fraying absorbent cotton to achieve a beautiful shine. Only use well-tempered couverture, as chocolate must never come into contact with water. Colored cocoa butter or tempered couverture are suitable for make-up; white couverture can also be colored with fat-soluble powder paints. Work from the outside in and apply color directly to the mold using a fine brush, sponge or gloves. Allow the layers of paint to set slightly in between and turn the mold regularly to check the details. Then coat the entire mold with couverture so that there are no air bubbles. Clean the edges with a metal horn, put the two halves of the mold together and secure them with the clamps provided. Then fill the mold completely with couverture. Gently tap the mold to bring the last air bubbles to the surface. Allow any excess chocolate to run out, repeat the process if necessary for a thicker wall, wipe any drips clean and cool the mold for 2-5 minutes. Spread some couverture on baking paper and press the slightly chilled mold into it. After a further 10-15 minutes cooling time, remove the clamps, chill briefly and carefully remove the chocolate monkey from the mold. You can then decorate the figure as desired with fondant, sugar decorations or additional chocolate details and wrap it attractively. With the chocolate monkey mould, you can create a detailed, lively and charming figure that looks particularly cheerful thanks to the different couverture colors - a highlight for all chocolate fans.
