3D chocolate mold strawberries, 28 pieces

3D chocolate mold strawberries, 28 polycarbonate mold

This 3D strawberry-look chocolate mold is ideal for making hollow chocolate shells that you can fill with jelly, ganache or caramel to suit your taste. The mold can be painted in advance with cocoa butter paints or sprayed evenly with an airbrush to give each praline its very own character. Once you have assembled the two mold parts, pour tempered couverture through the opening, fill the mold completely, turn it over again and allow the excess chocolate to run out cleanly. Tapping lightly with a chocolate hammer or the back of a spatula will release any air bubbles. Beginners benefit from pouring in two stages so that the couverture sets evenly and forms a stable shell. After a cooling time of 15-20 minutes, pour in your desired filling at room temperature, leaving a 2 mm border free so that the chocolates can be properly sealed with couverture later. After a further short cooling time, the mold can be opened easily and the strawberry pralines can be removed effortlessly. Polycarbonate is transparent, extremely robust and scratch-resistant. It withstands high temperatures and retains its shape, which means that the chocolate contracts perfectly when it cools and releases cleanly from the mold without sticking - a clear advantage over silicone molds. With the "Strawberries" 3D praline mold for 28 pieces, you can create a pretty, varied selection of pralines in no time at all, perfect for giving as gifts or enjoying.
