How long do you put it in the fridge of freezer

@EasyPeasyKitchen 10 ай бұрын

Just until it's set (5mins or so). Sometimes it's so cold here I don't even need to asit sets hard very quickly at room temperature.

I have just discovered your channel and I love it. Can I ask...do you need to temper the chocolate for these decorations? I'd love to try these decorations for my husband's birthday

@EasyPeasyKitchen Жыл бұрын

Welcome ☺️. If you use compound chocolate you don't have to temper it, but if you're using chocolate with a high cocoa percentage or coverture chocolate then you do need to temper it.

@friendchannel5382 Жыл бұрын

Long do you let the chocolate sit for to harden?

@EasyPeasyKitchen Жыл бұрын

It shouldn't take long, but it depends on the room temperature where you are. I would leave mine for about 5 or 10 minutes. Or put it in the fridge and it'll take 2 or 3 minutes. The chocolate will look different when it has set 😊

Which paper did you use

@EasyPeasyKitchen 8 ай бұрын

There are some other brands too, wax paper or greaseproof paper, but my preference is baking paper. Alternatively you can use acetate paper too.

@EasyPeasyKitchen Жыл бұрын

Your chocolate is probably melting because you're using one with a high cocoa percentage. It will work if you temper the chocolate. I used Pam's chocolate chips, a cheap compound chocolate.
