GRANITE CRACKS INGREDIENTS
10g (0.35oz) black coloured cocoa butter EQUIPMENT
Eclipse HP-CS Gravity Feed Dual Action Airbrush
Iwata Power Jet Pro Compressor
rounded bar mould
large metal scraper
METHOD
Melt the black cocoa butter and heat it to 31°C (87.7°F). Fill the airbrush cup with the black cocoa butter and set the compressor to 20 psi. To create the cracks, spray lines of cocoa butter into each cavity of the chocolate mould as demonstrated in the video. You may need to layer the cocoa butter with a few coats to achieve a solid colour. Use a large metal scraper to remove any excess cocoa butter from the surface of the mould.

SPATTERS METHOD
INGREDIENTS
Melt the black cocoa butter and heat it to 31°C (87.7°F). Fill the airbrush cup with the black cocoa butter. Hold the airbrush in one hand and the wooden spoon in the other. Angle the airbrush down onto the handle of the spoon, so that the airbrush needle is almost touching the spoon, and spray into the chocolate mould to create spatters. Rotate the chocolate mould to ensure you are spraying into all sides of the cavities. Repeat this process using white cocoa butter. Use a large metal scraper to remove any excess cocoa butter from the surface of the mould.

NOTE
The further away the airbrush is to the end of the spoon, the larger the spatters will be. The closer you hold the airbrush to the end of the spoon, the finer the spatters will be.
BACKGROUND COLOUR METHOD
INGREDIENTS
Heat the black and white cocoa butters to 31°C (87.7°F). Fill the airbrush cup mostly with white cocoa butter and approximately 3 drops of black cocoa butter. Mix the cocoa butters together as demonstrated in the video to achieve a grey colour. Spray into each cavity in the mould evenly with the grey cocoa butter, layering with a few coats to achieve a solid colour. Use a large metal scraper to remove any excess cocoa butter from the surface of the mould.
