  • Chocolate Molds | How to Fill and Unmold Chocolates 👩🏼‍🍳✨ Today I show you how to make soft caramels using both a polycarbonate chocolate mold and plastic chocolate mold. You'll learn how to make the chocolate shell, fill it with soft caramel, seal the chocolates, and unmold them. Molded chocolates are so much fun and, more importantly, delicious!

    Just a reminder, this is an interview where I will be asking you specific questions to learn more about what your experience and goals are with chocolate. This will not be a chance for you to ask me questions about problems that you're having with chocolate techniques. 🙃
    If you're not into chocolate chats you can also help me by doing this 35 question survey instead:

    @BrittneeKay  Před rokem +3

    I get a lot of comments asking why I don't set the plastic molds down onto the counter when scraping them. I know it looks confusing but holding them up makes more sense when you're working with them...and believe me, before I switched to polycarbonate molds I worked with plastic molds for years!
    So, because they are flexible, when you set them onto the countertop to scrape them they actually bend in between the cavities which leaves chocolate sitting on top of the surface of the mold. That chocolate sitting there makes it hard to get a clean scrape. And if you don't get clean edges around your chocolate cavities you will either have a hard time releasing them from the mold or they will come out with little feet around the edges (which they already do just because of how the plastic ones are shaped).
    When I hold the plastic molds up to scrape them I try to bend them in a way that presses them firm against the scraper so that I am able to get a nice clean scrape on each chocolate edge! I know it seems messy and inefficient, but that is just what has always worked for me. Hope that clears up some confusion.
    ...with all that being said, I highly recommend switching to polycarbonate chocolate molds as soon as you can! They take a bit more expertise to use and require more refined chocolate tempering knowledge and skill, but they are worth it because they yield better results overall!

      @ericghasperidis6479 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Would it be easier to put a firm surface beneath it, like a small baking tray or even a Tupperware lid? That way you can still lift it up into your hand to scrape but it (presumably) won’t bend around so much. I’ve never tried making chocolates, so it might not work as I’m picturing, but just a suggestion that could be worth a try.

    • @BrittneeKay
      @BrittneeKay  Před 11 měsíci

      @@ericghasperidis6479 I think that would just be similar to setting in onto the counter plus added pressure of holding it. I honestly like the bendy method but everyone may have a different way of doing it, which is great, whatever works. Irrelevant to me now because I no longer use plastic molds, polycarbonate are the way to go!

Now ive got the poy-carbon mold, but it failed twice, the chocolate is premium too, i mostly use white chocolate but the chocolates would not come out of the mold? I ended up having to scrape them out. I didn't know anything about tempering so im just starting to learn how. Pls can you tell me why you lay the poly-carbon mold on its side to dry?

    What a fun video! I would have never guessed it was so easy (and messy at the same time!) The engineer in me is asking wouldn’t the more flexible mold work better if you laid it on the counter before scraping? Seems like the flexibility would be less than holding the mold in your hand. Just a thought.

    • @BrittneeKay
      @BrittneeKay  Před rokem +1

      Haha yes easy and messy is right! With the plastic mold I find it easier to hold up because then I can put pressure where I need it. When I lay it on the counter it bends different to where it leaves chocolate sometimes along the edges of each cavity which won’t look good when I molding 😃 but other May have a different preference which is great too!

    Very nice video! I just tried out some new polycarbonate molds yesterday and you are right! So much easier and cleaner.

    • @BrittneeKay
      @BrittneeKay  Před 5 měsíci

      Usually these days I use a chocolate warmer and that holds it at a certain temperature long enough for me to get as many molds done as I ever need to! If I'm doing just a couple molds honestly I still sometimes just temper in a bowl and use a heat gun to help with temperature control! : )

      It actually still does. I've used these plastic molds for years, the reason I hold them up is because I can curve the mold as I scrape to be sure to get a clean edge around each chocolate. That's the most important part. But do what works for you! :)

    I made a very small batch of nut clusters with a caramel cut in half diagonally. After they set, I tried one and I find the caramel a tad too tough,too hard. So I'm wondering or I guess after watching you,I could make it a bit softer simply melt the caramels and add maybe a tablespoon or so of heavy cream, if I can get any. I'm finding the store seems always out of heavy cream.

    • @BrittneeKay

      Yes for sure! I always thin my caramel with heavy cream. On the back of the Peter's caramel box they suggest using sweet and condensed milk, so you could try that as well!

      @@BrittneeKay thank you so much!! I have never tried this before, but I watched your other video where you demonstrated 2 methods - 1. spraying gold dust into the mold with lemon extract, and also 2. flicking it on with a brush. I was wondering if the dust affects the sheen of the covered area of the surface? Would you recommend coating the outer surface inside the mold with a layer of cocoa butter first? I only tried it 1X but was not able to successfully apply a clear layer of cocoa butter to achieve that super, super glossy look. If tempering the chocolate is 'good enough' to have the gold dust on the outside I would rather stick with that :) -- just wasn't sure how the gold dust mixes with the chocolate ....? Thank you so much for your guidance :) Also I am going to subscribe right now so I can keep following all your wonderful videos! I really like how you add a touch to the videos, like when you contrast the 2 different looks of flicking vs spraying .. not something I would have thought of myself :) Thank you again for taking the time to make the videos, and sharing all this with the community!

    Thank you for the video. I use silicone molds but after a couple of days the top of the chocolates turn white (the bottom that hasn't been in contact with the molds stays brown). Is it because I should oil the bottom before I pour the chocolate? I don't see anybody do it that way. Is it the molds that are bad quality. Thank you so much for your channel, I love it!

    At my first attempt using a polycarbonate mold, my chocolates broke in the middle so the base came out but the chocolate in the bottom didn’t. I used a shape similar to yours, let it dry on its side. Should I have left it to dry upside down? Also, my bakery was warmer than the 72’degrees I saw suggested in other comments. Should i have used the fridge to help in that case?

    when working with the flimsy plastic molds, what if you stuck them to a half sheet pan with double-sided tape? That might make them rigid enough to work similar to a poly mold. Could even used a thin piece of plywood for a cheaper alternative.

    • @BrittneeKay

      See my pinned comment. Event if stuck to a half sheet tray between each mold bends and you scrape. I find this method works for me so it’s not a big deal. But you had some good ideas! Honestly switching to polycarbonate molds is the best options, which I have now done permanently 🙂🙂🙂

      @BrittneeKay  Před 9 měsíci

      Thank you so much for your comment! I agree, sometimes you just have to start where you can. Tempering chocolate can be extremely frustrating for some people and sometimes stabilized chocolate is more accessible.
      With that being said, if you have a strong interest in chocolate I encourage you to dive right in! Practice as much as you can, research a ton, learn how to temper chocolate, and invest in quality supplies from the start! I would skip the silicone and plastic molds, get a couple half sphere polycarbonate molds and master those first along with chocolate tempering!
      And you can totally do it if you have the desire! I have tons more videos here that will help you out!

    • @BrittneeKay
      @BrittneeKay  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for the comment and I am glad you enjoyed the video!! Ok off the top of my head I am thinking that if you're chocolates were breaking then your shells could have been too thin. But since you said they were softening too quickly that means your chocolate isn't tempered correctly. Once the chocolate sets it should have a nice snap and should stay that way when unmolding. What kind of chocolate did you use?

      It helps the chocolate cool more evenly, rather than trapping heat on the bottom. Once you've dumped out most of the chocolate and it's as thin as it should be then it won't really move before cooling.
