Ingredients

  • 500 g 70% cocoa dark chocolate (cut into pieces)
  • 50 g Mycryo cocoa butter (frozen, 100% cocoa butter)
  • 1 feuille Decorative chocolate transfer sheet (about 30×30 cm, cocoa butter pattern printed)
  • 1 feuille Rhodoid sheet (for forming chocolate water droplets)

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate

    Place the chocolate pieces in the heat‑proof bowl and melt them over a bain‑marie, stirring gently until reaching 40‑45 °C.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 40-45°C

  2. Cool the chocolate to 34‑35 °C

    Remove the bowl from the bain‑marie and continue stirring the chocolate, allowing it to cool to 34‑35 °C (for dark chocolate).

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 34-35°C

  3. Incorporate the Mycryo cocoa butter

    Add the frozen Mycryo cocoa butter to the chocolate and mix for a few minutes until you obtain an airy and smooth texture.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 34-35°C

  4. Bring down to working temperature

    Let the chocolate stabilize at 31‑32 °C, the ideal temperature for working with dark chocolate.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 31-32°C

  5. Pour the chocolate onto the transfer sheet

    Place the tempered chocolate on the decorative transfer sheet and spread it with the offset spatula while keeping the temperature between 31‑32 °C.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 31-32°C

  6. Cut the shapes and let set

    When the chocolate has slightly set (semi‑firm), use a round cookie cutter or a knife to cut circles, squares or triangles. Let the shapes harden completely before removing them.

    Time: PT15M

  7. Make chocolate water droplets

    On the rhodoid sheet, spread a strip of tempered chocolate, draw thin lines with a serrated‑tip knife, let them set slightly, then fold and seal the ends by gently pressing. Let cool completely before removing.

    Time: PT10M

Critical Success Points

  • Melt the chocolate to the correct temperature (40‑45 °C).
  • Cool precisely to 34‑35 °C before adding the cocoa butter.
  • Incorporate the Mycryo cocoa butter without losing temperature.
  • Maintain the working temperature between 31‑32 °C during pouring.
  • Cut the shapes when the chocolate is semi‑firm to avoid cracking.

Safety Warnings

  • Melted chocolate reaches high temperatures; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Keep the Mycryo cocoa butter frozen until the moment of addition to avoid contamination.
