ASSEMBLY

Pre-crystallise the dark chocolate paint and, using a chocolate spray gun, thinly coat the “Berlingot” mini-bonbon moulds.
Then sprinkle on the powdered gold colouring and mould the Origine Ghana milk couverture 40.5% cocoa.
Measure out the truffle into the moulds, leave to crystallise for a few hours and seal the base with Ocoa dark couverture 70% cocoa.
