Tips & Techniques - Finishing Touches - Doce Bakers & Sweets Lahore Recipes 

Grated Chocolates:

Use the large holes of a hand grater to grate an unwrapped square of room-temperature BAKER'S Chocolate onto a sheet of wax paper. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. 

Shaving:

Warm 1 wrapped square of BAKER'S Semi-Sweet or White Chocolate or a 3-square strip of BAKER'S GERMAN'S Sweet Chocolate by holding it in the palm of your hand. Pull a vegetable peeler across the surface of the square to crate chocolate shavings.

Curls:

Melt 4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet or Premium White Baking Chocolate or 1 pkg. (4 oz.) BAKER'S GERMAN'S Sweet Chocolate as directed on package. Spread with spatula into a very thin layer on baking sheet. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until chocolate is firm but still pliable.

To make curls, push a metal spatula firmly along the baking sheet, under the chocolate, so the chocolate curls as it is pushed. (The width of the curls will vary depending on the width of the spatula.)

If chocolate is too firm to curl, let stand a few minutes at room temperature; refrigerate again if it becomes too soft. 

Use a toothpick to place chocolate curl onto a sheet of wax paper. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. Use toothpick to arrange curls on dessert.

Drizzle:

Melt BAKER'S Chocolate as directed on package. Use a small spoon to drizzle melted chocolate over desserts.

Or, spoon melted chocolate into a small resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Cut a tiny piece (about 1/8 inch) off 1 of the bottom corners of bag. Drizzle chocolate over desserts as desired.




Shapes & Cutouts:

Melt 4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet or Premium White Baking Chocolate or 1 pkg. (4 oz.) BAKER'S GERMAN'S Sweet Chocolate as directed on package.


Pour melted chocolate onto sheet of wax paper, spreading to 1/8-inch thickness with spatula. Refrigerate 5 min. or until chocolate is firm. Cut chocolate into desired shapes with cookie cutters. (If chocolate is too brittle to cut, let stand at room temperature a few minutes before cutting into desired shapes.)

Carefully lift shapes with spatula or knife. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use
