Use this basic technique to make delicate chocolate disks of different sizes, as well as other decorations using differently shaped cookie cutters.

Ingredients

  • 10 ½ oz. (300 g) chocolate

Method

Oil a plain flat baking sheet using a sheet of paper towel. Lay an acetate sheet over it and remove any air bubbles, so that the acetate is “stuck” to the baking sheet.

Temper the chocolate.

Pour one-third of the tempered chocolate over the prepared tray. Cover it with the other sheet of plastic and roll it out to a thickness of ½ in. (1 mm)
