Chocolate tattoo autumn leaves

Chocolate tattoo autumn leaves

With the chocolate tattoo autumn leaves you conjure up beautiful decorations on your chocolates. The pattern consists of chocolate and cocoa butter color. The foil can be easily cut and placed with the printed side on a freshly sealed praline. You can also coat the foil directly with tempered couverture and cut or cut out various shapes from it. After drying, the foil can be removed and the pattern can now be seen on the chocolate. So you bring great colors and patterns on your creations and your friends and family will be thrilled.

Chocolate tattoo - application

Praline decoration

If you want to decorate chocolates with the chocolate tattoo, they must of course first be prepared. Hollow shells can be filled with various ganaches or creams and left to stand for 20 to 30 minutes. If the filling is a little rough (a fine skin forms on the filling, so it is not pressed up), you can seal the chocolates with tempered couverture.

Now place the chocolate peel-off foil on the still liquid couverture. Make sure to put the right side on the chocolates. Depending on the side, you can press the foil gently. The peel-off foil can be placed as a whole sheet over several chocolates, but you can also cut it to the desired size and place individual pieces of foil on the chocolates. The whole thing is now placed in a cool place.

After about 7 to 8 minutes in the refrigerator or a little longer at room temperature, you can easily peel off the chocolate tattoo foil. The cocoa butter and chocolate, when used correctly, have bonded with the tempered couverture and so the pattern can now be seen on the chocolates. The foil used in this way cannot be used again as decoration.

Cake and dessert decoration

If you want the pattern to decorate your cake or a sweet dessert, you will need tempered couverture and a suitable mold. Consider what shape your chocolate chips should have. If it is a plate with straight edges, you do not need a cookie cutter. If you have a round cookie or other special shape, you can use a cookie cutter.

Now pour a little chocolate onto the pattern side of the peel-off foil. Then spread the chocolate as evenly as possible with a small angled spatula to a thickness of about 2 - 3 millimeters. The foil is then placed in the refrigerator for a very short time. To check how firm the chocolate is, you can press lightly on the chocolate with your finger. When the fingerprint is visible, but the chocolate does not stick to the finger, you can remove the foil from the refrigerator.

Rinse your cookie cutter or a knife without serrations hot and dry it well. Do you have a Hot air dryerYou can also use this to slightly heat the metal. Then press the mold into the waxy chocolate and remove the cutter again. If you want several different shapes, then rinse and dry the molds each. Use the knife to cut rectangles, squares or triangles. For example, elongated triangles can easily be poked into the cake or arranged in a circle. As soon as all shapes are pre-stamped, put the foil back into the refrigerator. Let the chocolate set there. Then you can carefully break out the shapes from the thin sheet. This is how you create beautiful and creatively decorated cakes.
