6. Step 6: Seal the filled molds with the remaining melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage of the gelee. Refrigerate again until completely set before unmolding.

Tips & Variations

• For a silkier texture, strain the berry puree before cooking to remove seeds.
• Try different berry combinations like blueberry or blackberry for varied flavors.
• Use white chocolate instead of dark chocolate for a sweeter twist.
• Garnish with a fresh berry on top for added color and elegance.

Storage

Store the finished chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavor and texture.

FAQs

Can I use gelatin sheets instead of powdered gelatin?

Yes, you can substitute powdered gelatin with gelatin sheets. Typically, one sheet equals about 2.5 grams of powdered gelatin. So, for 5 grams, use two sheets, softened in cold water before adding to the warm berry mixture.

How do I prevent white streaks on the chocolate?

White streaks, or bloom, occur when chocolate isn’t tempered properly or is exposed to moisture. Always temper the chocolate carefully and avoid condensation by not bringing chilled chocolates directly into warm environments.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Chocolate Shell

• 200g good-quality dark chocolate

Berry Gelee Filling

• 200g berry puree (strawberry, raspberry, or mixed)
• 50g granulated sugar
• 5g powdered gelatin

Garnish

• Fresh berries for garnish

Instructions

1. Temper the Chocolate: Melt 200g of good-quality dark chocolate using a double boiler, carefully tempering it to achieve a glossy finish and smooth texture, ensuring it sets properly with a shiny appearance.
2. Create the Chocolate Shells: Pour the tempered chocolate into silicone molds and rotate the molds to evenly coat the inner surfaces with chocolate. Place the molds in the refrigerator to chill until the chocolate shells are firm.
3. Prepare the Berry Gelee: In a saucepan, gently heat 200g of berry puree with 50g of granulated sugar just until the sugar dissolves completely, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
4. Dissolve the Gelatin: Remove the berry mixture from heat and add 5g of powdered gelatin, stirring until it is fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it thickens just enough to pipe without being too runny.
5. Fill the Chocolate Shells: Using a piping bag, carefully fill the chilled chocolate shells with the thickened berry gelee mixture. Once filled, chill the molds again until the gelee sets completely and firms up.
6. Seal with Chocolate: Pour the remaining tempered chocolate over the filled molds to seal the gelee inside, ensuring complete coverage for a professional finish. Return the sealed molds to the refrigerator to set fully.
7. Unmold and Garnish: Once set, carefully remove the chocolate enrobed berry gelee from the molds and garnish with fresh berries for an elegant presentation before serving.

Notes

• Tempering the chocolate properly is key for a shiny, crisp shell and prevents blooming.
• If you don’t have silicone molds, use a flexible mold designed for chocolates.
• Chill times may vary based on fridge temperature; ensure each layer is fully set before moving to the next step.
• Use fresh or frozen berries for puree; if using frozen, thaw completely before blending.
• Gelatin can be substituted with agar-agar for a vegetarian option, adjusting quantities accordingly.
