Happiness = Having a Good Temper
We recently got a CocoPix for DownLow Chocolate after learning about tempering with cocoa butter silk and seeing the excellent (and hilarious) videos from Beta Crystal.
On our first use, we made cocoa butter silk for our low-carb "Flapper Girl: Coconut White Chocolate." On several previous batches, we struggled with getting a good temper (without seed) using our ChocoVision Revlation Delta tempering machine - and it took a long time! But with the CocoPix and cocoa butter silk, we got a shiny, snappy temper the first time! And the tempering process took a fraction of the time.
The day before tempering/molding, we added 30g of cocoa butter wafers (1% of our 3kg batch) to the CocoPix, set the temp (33.3'C), and the next day we had silk (opaque, creamy, mayonnaise-looking cocoa butter). Later that day, we added our white chocolate to the tempering machine, heated it to 45'C and cooled it to 34.5'C. Then we added the cocoa butter silk and whisked it into the chocolate. We let the chocolate cool to 30'C and then molded/vibrated the chocolate and put the bars in our wine fridge to set. After 20-30 minutes, we checked the bars and they had the 3 S's: shrink, shine, and snap.
The CocoPix is a game changer! We will incorporate our CocoPix and cocoa butter silk into our tempering process for all of our chocolate bars. Because with the CocoaPix, we have a good temper. And with a good temper comes happiness. Thank you for making us happy, Beta Crystal!
