Chocolate mold turtle

This mold produces detailed, cheerful turtle figures straight from your kitchen. You can use it to create a special gift for animal fans - ideal for Easter, Advent or just because. What is the mold suitable for? For casting hollow or painted turtles, which can also be made together with children. How is it used? First rinse the mold with lukewarm water and mild detergent without lye or rinse aid, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and dry completely. Do not touch the inner surfaces again, hold the mold only by the edge and polish it with non-fraying absorbent cotton or a very fine handkerchief. Only use high-quality, tempered couverture for molding. Temper in the appliance or in a water bath, ensuring that no water penetrates. For make-up, use colored cocoa butter or tempered couverture; white couverture can be colored with fat-soluble powder colors. For a beige shade, mix 1/3 milk couverture with 2/3 white couverture (both tempered) and do not mix for too long so that the mixture does not cool down too much. Paint from the outside in with a fine brush, sponge or gloved fingers; all utensils must be clean, dry and grease-free. Once the details have been applied, brush the entire mold with the desired main envelope. Turn the mold in between so that no air bubbles remain and wipe off the edges with a metal horn. Put the halves together, secure them with the clips provided and fill the mold completely. Tap the edges with a spatula, turn the mold over the bowl, allow excess couverture to run out and repeat the process if needed for a more stable wall. Chill for 2-5 minutes, spread some couverture on baking paper and press the chilled mold into it for the base. Then chill for 10-15 minutes, remove the clamps, chill again briefly and carefully unmold by gently inserting the spatula between the halves. Decorate the figure as desired with fondant or sugar decorations and wrap it attractively.
