Sieve the blue colour powder into the melted cocoa butter (A) and stir to combine. Emulsify with a stick blender before straining through a foot stocking or coffee filter. Cover and allow to cool to 31°C (87.8°F). Meanwhile, place some silver metallic powder into a small bowl. Wet a soft sponge with alcohol and dip it into the silver powder. Dab the silver into the centre of each chocolate mould cavity. Set aside and allow the alcohol to evaporate at room temperature. Once the silver metallic is completely dry and ensuring the prepared blue cocoa butter is at 31°C (87.8°F), dip the sponge into the coloured cocoa butter, remove any excess and dap it into the centre of each mould cavity on top of the silver metallic.

METHOD CONT...
Sieve the black colour powder into the melted white chocolate and mix to combine. Add the melted cocoa butter (B) and mix by hand before emulsifying with a stick blender. Bring to 31°C (87.8°F) then pour it into the cup of a spray gun. Evenly spray the surface of each cavity, holding the spray gun at least 300mm away from the mould and rotating the mould as required. Hold the mould upside down and scrape the excess cocoa butter off the surface before rubbing it over a sheet of paper towel as demonstrated in the video. Place the mould on its side and allow to set at room temperature.
NOTE
The remaining blue coloured cocoa butter can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat to 31°C (87.8°F) before using it for your next application. If stored correctly, it can be reheated and used for up to 12 months.
MOULDING INGREDIENTS
800g (28.22oz) Callebaut Power 41 Milk Couverture 40.7%, tempered EQUIPMENT
disposable piping bag
large metal scraper
METHOD
Place the tempered milk chocolate ( see our online video for instructions) into a piping bag and fill each cavity of the mould. Tap the mould on the surface of your workbench to dislodge any air bubbles. Turn the mould upside down over a sheet of baking paper and tap the side of the mould with the handle of a metal scraper. Scrape the surface clean while holding the mould upside down. Place the mould on its side and allow to set at room temperature. NOTE
You will retemper the remaining chocolate later and use it to seal the chocolates.

BLUEBERRY JAM INGREDIENTS
30g (1.06oz) caster (superfine) sugar 3g (0.11oz) pectin NH 150g (5.29oz) Ravifruit Blueberry Puree 1/2 lemon, zested EQUIPMENT
whisk
stick blender
disposable piping bag
METHOD
Combine the sugar and pectin in a small bowl and set aside. Place the blueberry puree and lemon zest into saucepan and bring to the boil. While whisking, add the sugar and pectin mixture then continue to whisk over the heat for a further minute. Transfer the jam into a bowl and cover with cling wrap touching the surface. Allow to set and cool completely. Emulsify with a stick blender until smooth, careful not to incorporate too much air. Transfer to a piping bag.
SHORTBREAD DISCS INGREDIENTS
150g (5.29oz) plain (all-purpose) flour 100g (3.53oz) unsalted butter, room temperature 50g (1.76oz) caster (superfine) sugar 2g (0.07oz) ground cinnamon (powder) 2g (0.07oz) salt (A) 90g (3.17oz) Callebaut Power 41 Milk Couverture 40.7%, tempered 10g (0.35oz) grapeseed oil 1g (0.04oz) sea salt (B) EQUIPMENT
spatula
stand mixer
perforated baking tray or aluminium baking tray
Silpain Baking Mat
food processor, or rolling pin
guitar sheets, or baking paper
rolling pin
round cutter, 25mm D
METHOD
Heat the oven to 160°C (320°F), fan forced. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, butter, sugar, cinnamon and salt until it forms a crumble consistency. Spread the crumble over a Silpain-lined baking tray and bake in the pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes, until light golden-brown in colour. Allow to cool at room temperature before blitzing in a food processor to form a coarse crumb. Alternatively, you can use a rolling pin to crush the crumble. Weigh 150g (5.29oz) of the shortbread crumb and add the sea salt (B). Combine the tempered milk chocolate ( see our online video for instructions) and the grapeseed oil before adding the shortbread crumbs. Mix until the crumbs are completely coated. Transfer the mixture onto a guitar sheet and place a second sheet on top then roll to approximately 3mm in thickness. Allow to firm up in the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes. Use a round cutter, 25mm in diameter, to cut 80 individual discs.
NOTES
This recipe makes more shortbread crumble than required. The remaining crumble can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer. If you require more discs, heat the remaining mixture, ensuring it does not exceed 35°C (95°F), then re-roll. 4 Recipe from SAVOUR ONLINE CLASSES | savourschool.com.au Copyright ©2022 Savour Chocolate & Patisserie School.
