stap voor stap

Melt and temper the chocolate
- Melt the dark chocolate gently over a bain-marie or in the microwave.
- Temper it to about 31°C so the showpiece sets glossy and snaps cleanly.
- Melt the white chocolate separately and keep it warm.
Stap 1
Colour the chocolate
- Tint part of the white chocolate with orange and red fat-soluble colouring to get the koi pattern.
- Brush the coloured chocolate into the mould to create the scales and markings.
Stap 2
Cast the koi body
- Pour the tempered dark chocolate into the koi mould, filling it completely.
- Tap the mould to release air bubbles.
- Let it set until the chocolate pulls away from the mould.
Stap 3
Shape the fins and tail
- Spread thin layers of tempered chocolate on a sheet and let them set.
- Cut out the fins and tail shapes.
- Attach them to the body with a little melted chocolate.
Stap 4
Finish and polish
- Brush the surface with cocoa butter for shine.
- Dust with gold luster dust for the final shimmer.
- Let the showpiece set completely before displaying.
