Method​


1 Firstly, wash the mould in the dishwasher or hot soapy water and let it air dry.

2 If you would like edible gold paint on your chocolates, make edible paint using alcohol and gold lustre. Mix with a cocktail stick until you reach the required consistency.

3 Once you have made the edible paint get a new toothbrush or small paintbrush and dip them in the edible paint.

4 If using the toothbrush, face it downwards towards your mould, then run your thumb along the bristles (make sure you have food-safe gloves on). This should spray the paint across and into your moulds. The further inside the cavities you get, the more paint you will put in there.

If using a paintbrush, dip the paintbrush into the edible paint and then paint inside the cavities of the mould.

8 Fill the mould to three-quarters full and then gently shake the mould to allow the chocolate to settle. Also, tap it a little on the work surface. That way, any tiny air bubbles can rise up and pop.

9 Place the mould in the fridge for around 15 - 20 minutes until fully set. Once set, remove from the fridge and carefully push the chocolates out of the mould.
