Chocolate Molds | How to Fill and Unmold Chocolates 👩🏼‍🍳✨ This is an updated tutorial on how to use polycarbonate chocolate molds. In the video I show you how to fill and unmold chocolates to make some pretty gold bon bons! To make these I use couverture chocolate this time rather than compound chocolate and they are filled with caramel, brownies, and dark chocolate ganache. Hope you find it helpful!

It is so cool how you take the time to describe all the details of what you are doing. Thanks for going nice and slow so we can really see every step. After you shell your molds, you are checking to see if they are the proper thickness. If you discover that they are too thin, would you wait until they dry completely and then do a second shelling? I recently learned the hard way why it is important to work at the recommended working temperature for each type of chocolate. I tried shelling with a white chocolate (actually, caramelized white chocolate) at 32° because I wanted it to flow into the cracks of the mold more. However, it ended up so thin I could see right through it. The next tray I kept it at 32°, but kept it in the mold longer. This resulted in some spots being too thin and others being too thick. I had to literally scrape out the thick parts and paint on more chocolate on the thin parts with a paintbrush. It was kind of a disaster. The third tray I did it at the right temperature (29°) and, like Goldilocks eating the baby bear’s soup, it was juuuuust right! PS Don’t tell anyone, but I actually purchased a huge vibrator for getting out air bubbles when using intricate molds. Yes, that kind of vibrator. Only used for this purpose, of course! A lot of chocolate shops have vibrating tables, which I have neither room nor funds for. It really works wonders! 😊
@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay 4 місяці тому
LOL that's hilarious! Hey...whatever works! 🤣 Yes, I feel you on the thickness. Honestly it never has been a big problem for me but usually just because I keep the kitchen temperature the same and I always use the chocolate at it's proper working temp. If you do that and keep the same momentum when molding the thickness is usually consistent. But to answer your question...when I have gotten too thin of a shell I notice it immediately as I'm molding and I add more chocolate right away and tap it out like I normally would. If it starts to set give a quick run over the mold with a heat gun and then shell again, that way the chocolate will mold together. When I've gotten too thick of shells I don't worry too much. That rarely happens and if it does I just go with it. Hope that answers your questions! : )

Hi Brittnee. Thank you for your video. I've just had a major disappointment making a batch of filled chocolates. They wouldnt come out of the mold. Tried to put some heat on bottom to try and facilitate 'eviction' which made it worse. Landed up cutting up my mold to individually to prise them out. 😢 Dont know what I did wrong but will see if following your tutorial will help. I must add that I dont have your temperature meter nor hair drier so check liquidity and return to microwave when I judge the chocolate is becoming a little too stiff.
@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay 26 днів тому
What kind of mold did you use that you were able to cut it up!? 😄 Ugh I'm sorry, that is frustrating! I have had troubles getting chocolates out of molds too and it is really annoying. Usually heat doesn't help, but usually cold does. So popping them in the freezer for a while until you can knock them out is better than melting them out. Though, either method is a last resort, but at least if they stay in tact you can eat them rather than throw them away. I would definitely invest in a thermometer, it is crucial when tempering chocolate! You can start with a pretty inexpensive laser one from Amazon. You can also get a hair dryer for around $15 so I recommend that as well. My advice is to practice tempering and get really comfortable before molding chocolates to avoid disappointments! 😃

@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay Рік тому
Thanks so much!! Yes, they should be fine at room temperature as long as your room temp is pretty cool, ideally 71ºF or below. The chocolate will be great at that temp. The fillings will vary depending on what is inside, but if you plan to gift them quick and have people eat them within a week I'd say that you'll be fine. I can't give specific advice unless I have an exact recipe and have tested it myself, which I am not equipped to do. So follow these guidelines loosely :)

Thanks @BrittneeKay for this video; I really enjoyed it. Out of curiosity, how thick are the polycarbonate molds? I want to avoid buying ones that are too thick (as I won't be able to twist them like you've done here to get the stubborn ones out) yet not so thin they're fragile, floppy and eventually break.
@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay 4 місяці тому
Polycarbonate molds are pretty thick, thick enough to not bend while you're working with them, which is great. I know what you mean, at first I was intimidated because I was scared I wouldn't be able to get the chocolates out. But don't be scared, focus on mastering tempering. As long as your chocolate is tempered well they will come out! Your other option are plastic molds where you can basically force any chocolate to come out. But I don't recommend these. If you're really interested in chocolate making I would just go for the polycarbonate!

I usually just let the mold sit at room temp until the chocolate begins to set up (it will look dull and no longer be wet to the touch) and then cover them and let them crystallize in the fridge for around 30 minutes to pull from the mold! Hope this helps! : )

Hi Brittany, I've been working on Northern lights designs in my chocolates. After I paint my colored cocoa butter in the molds, and let them set up, when I pour in the chocolate shell, the colored cocoa butter in the mold, seems to melt up the side and sometimes when I pour the extra chocolate out it pours all the chocolate out of some cavities. I thought the cocoa butter was tempered If while I'm painting the cocoa butter starts setting up does it go out of temper as it cools? Ps thanks for your patience and help, I appreciate it all. I love this design...
@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay 3 місяці тому
Hmm I've heard a couple people tell me they've had this problem and I have never experienced it myself. But my best guess is that it isn't properly tempered which means it has a lower melting point and when you pour the chocolate shell it is melted and running. Either that or you are pouring your chocolate shell at too high of a working temperature. Those are just guesses, it's hard to know for sure since I'm not there with you during the process. What kind of cocoa butter did you use and did you do a temper test? What kind of color did you use in your cocoa butter?

So I use enjoy life Chips which are vegan and my favorite chocolate chips! The truly are the best tasting in my opinion, but it’s not like fancy couture chocolate or anything so is that why when I make truffles or anything needing a shell I don’t have to worry about tempering it so perfectly or using that temperature gun to make them? They always turn out shiny and taste great.. I’m just wondering if it’s because they’re vegan? Anyway, great tutorial.. love all the ASMR-ish sounds it made! Thanks for sharing.. love your Chanel

Hi you’re so welcome, happy to help! Ideally you will let them sit overnight in a cool area (like a wine fridge around 55-60 F) but not everyone has it available so if you’re just making them for fun I’d just give them a couple hours at room temp to set up and then cap! The more serious you become with chocolate the more detailed you’ll be but that’s a starting point! 🙂🙂

Of course! :) Yes, you should be able to do that just fine.

This will help them cool more evenly since they are going to be thick solid chocolate. Uneven cooling can cause streaking.

Hey, I am wanting to make filled chocolates with different flavored centers. my thought was to make some thin powdered sugar glaze and use essential flavor oils but wondered if you have any other recipes or better ideas? I want to make for example lemon, lime, or orange. you can buy glaze online in piping bags for chocolate but I want something more handmade.
@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay Рік тому
If you're looking for something creamy like that for the filling you could do a buttercream truffle. It is essentially buttercream frosting and you can add flavors in different ways. You can use pure extracts from the store or even make homemade puree from fresh fruits or squeeze the citrus juices fresh. The thin powdered sugar glaze I think would be too fluid and sweet for the filling, but buttercream is thicker and has more flavor to it. You can find a buttercream truffle recipe online pretty easy and try one out! I'd give you one, but I'm not a huge fan of buttercream truffles. Hope this helps!! 😃

Awww yes I know what you mean! Rather than use your marble you may try the seeding method instead for tempering. It’ll cool down slower than the table but that may be good for you since it’s so cold in your home! Then just be sure before molding it’s always up to working temp!

Fantastic video. If the chocolate is still too thick at 32C, could it possibly be that my thermometer is inaccurate? I'm using Callabaut 811 54.5% chocolate, and an inexpensive digital probe thermometer. I've tried the microwave method twice. The first time the chocolate seemed to be tempered, but it was too thick to pour properly. The second time, it was still too thick, and unfortunately wasn't tempered either (I swear I didn't bring it over 32C, though!). Very frustrating. Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated!
@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay 4 місяці тому
It could be a thermometer problem, but it also could be other things. You could have overtempered your chocolate and it is getting thick...but I don't think this is your problem by what you've told me. Because it sounds like you said you used the microwave method but tried to keep the chocolate overall under 32ºC... So, the half of the chocolate that you melt should and needs to go above 32 for the method to work. The melted chocolate has to reach higher temperatures in order to melt the correct stable crystals we need to develop. Honestly, when using the microwave method you don't need to take the temperature, just focus on melting half of the chocolate in the bowl, that's it. So I think the reason your chocolate is thick is because you actually never got it warm enough. With that being said, I don't often use the microwave method when I'm working with things like bonbons. I will use it here or there in a pinch or if I'm making something like chocolate decorations. I would recommend you try out the seeding method, it is super reliable. Isn't quite as easy as the microwave method but pretty close!

Almost like a layer of skin peeled off. Any recommendations?
@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay 3 місяці тому
Hmm a couple things come to mind and maybe you can eliminate some. It could be a cooling issue...if it's a bar mold because the chocolate is a bit thicker it can cool at different rates and knock things out of temper. Did you decorate the mold with anything first? If you decorate the mold it is nice to first, even with a bar mold with solid chocolate, create a shell and then fill it. Next because it's very thin layers sticking to the mold I feel like it could be a cleanliness issue. You are shining the mold before use correct? Last, be sure you're stirring all your chocolate together well to make sure bits of untempered chocolate from the sides of your container aren't pouring out into the mold. For example if there is untempered chocolate up along the sides of a bowl and then you pour it out into the mold. Hope this helps!

Hi Brttanee. Loved the tutorial. I have a couple of questions. 1) When using a piping bag and all the cavities are filled, how do you set aside the bag and not have chocolate run out of it? 2) What happens when the caramel filling mixes with the final layer of chocolate and the bottom of the chocolates become all weird and bumpy? Ill have perfect filled chocolate cavities, and then I go to put on the final layer to close them and the filling mixes with the chocolate. Then my scraper is just lifting the filling out of the cavity. ugh! Any help would be great, Thanks.
@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay 4 місяці тому
You’re welcome! Great questions!! 1. What I usually do is take a bowl off to the side and once I am done using the piping bag I carefully just move the chocolate in the bag away from the top and lay the bag down into the bowl..so the opening is facing up and chocolate can’t run out. Does that make sense? And if I’m doing multiple molds I’ll actually lay down a clean towel and warm it up with my head fun first so that the bag of chocolate is staying somewhat warm as I work! 2. Your caramel must be pretty runny if this is happening. My recommendation is to first chill your shells and filling before capping, but be sure to bring them back to room temp before capping. If your caramel is just runny and that’s the texture you’re going for you may want to try another capping method by using a guitar sheet. I unfortunately don’t have a video on that, but you can probably look one up. You’ll spread a thin coat on the sheet and lay it down on top of the mold and then scrape across it with a scraper. It’s hard to explain here but it’s a method you can even use to cap liquids so it will work for your thin caramel too!

@BrittneeKay
@BrittneeKay 2 місяці тому
Great! Ok for a basic ganache recipe I will link my video below. To answer your other questions...the process is different depending on what supplies you have. Usually I do refrigerate my shells overnight, but that's in a wine cooler and the temp is a bit warmer than a regular fridge. You don't want your shells to contract too much from the mold and leave a gap. If you don't have a wine cooler I suggest just letting them crystallize at room temp. BUT as a beginner, don't worry so much about how long to wait between each step. If you're just practicing you'll be totally fine to make the full bonbon all in one day. My advice would be don't put the mold in the fridge at all until you've capped the chocolates. Once they're capped, let them set up at room temp until they're firm to the touch then move them to the fridge for about 30 minutes to contract from the mold and unmold them. :) basic dark chocolate ganache: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gnqifq-amYKblIE.html@@esthergrissom5422
