Ingredients
- 120 grams cocoa butter
- 12 grams fat-soluble powder colour
Instructions
- Melt the cocoa butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. Remove from the heat when almost melted to avoid over-heating. Swirl the sauce pan to melt any remaining solids.
- Add the powder colour to the melted cocoa butter by passing through a sieve. Stir to combine, then use an immersion blender to emulsify the mixture. Pass the mixture through a clean sieve to remove any residual solids.
- Allow the mixture to cool and set, typically 12 hours. When ready to use, temper the cocoa butter and hold between 31°-33ºC for decorating. You can also simply heat the cocoa butter to 31ºC, but you will get better, more consistent results (shine) when you temper.
