Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Your Work Environment

Start by ensuring that your wax seal stamp is clean and ready for use. If you plan to create multiple chocolate coins, place your stamp in a freezer or use dry ice to cool it down quickly.

Step 2

Temper the Chocolate

Next, you'll need to temper your chocolate. Maintain the chocolate at a working temperature of 29°C (84°F) for white and caramel varieties. If the chocolate is too thick and isn't flowing well, you can melt it and add up to 10% cocoa butter based on the weight of the chocolate to achieve the right consistency.

Step 3

Stamp the Chocolate Coins

Once your chocolate is tempered, pour it into the wax seal stamp. Pay attention to the cooling process; if chocolate begins to stick to the stamp, it's time to cool the stamp again.

Step 4

Finish Your Chocolate Coins

After the chocolate coins have fully crystallized, you can add some finishing touches. Using a soft brush, apply edible dusting powders to give your coins a beautiful shimmer.

Servings

Whether you're planning a festive gathering or a casual get-together, these chocolate coins can be a show-stopping addition. They make for fantastic party favors and can be arranged beautifully on a dessert table. Add a sprinkle of edible glitter for that extra magical touch! ✨💖 You can also serve them alongside a rich hot cocoa or incorporate them into a charming gift basket for a loved one. Each coin tells a story and adds sweetness to any celebration! 🍫🌈

Equipment

Chocolate Seal Stamp

Invest in a good-quality chocolate seal stamp to create impressive designs. You can find one for around 2,000₽. Don't forget to keep it in the freezer for optimal results!

Freezer (or Dry Ice)

If you're making multiple coins at once, a faster cooling method such as dry ice or a blast freezer can save you time. Regular freezers can take too long to cool the stamp.

Variations

Gluten-Free & Vegan Variations: 🌱✨ If you're looking to cater to gluten-free or vegan diets, fear not! For a gluten-free option, ensure your chocolate is labeled gluten-free and substitute any other ingredients accordingly. For a vegan-friendly version, simply use dairy-free chocolate and make sure your seal stamp is also free from animal products. Creating these delights can be inclusive and fun for everyone at the table! 🎉🍪
