03 Know before you cook

Small details, better dinner.

Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.

Technique notes
  • Oil based color blends into chocolate without making it seize.
  • Keep centers and domes fully frozen so the shell sets on contact.
Useful swaps
  • Use peach or passion fruit puree instead of mango.
  • A velvet cocoa butter spray can replace the chocolate shell for experienced bakers.
Storage & reheating

Freeze finished domes for up to 1 week. Thaw in the refrigerator for 3 hours before serving.
