Today we're looking at how to making a chocolate
bowl using a container as a mould. Here we've
tightly covered a bowl using aluminum foil,
being careful to press down all the creases
to make them smooth. Then take some melted
chocolate in a zip-lock bag, and simply scribble
it back and forth over your bowl. Then turn
your bowl about a third of a way around, and
scribble over it again, and then turn it another
third and scribble over again. A knife around
the base of your bowl to smooth off the edge.
And then place it in the fridge to set. Once
it's set, put a small amount of chocolate
on the bottom of your bowl, turn it over,
put it back on the tray and pop it back in
the fridge to set again. And then you've got
the base for your bowl. Then next you want
to take the aluminuim foil off, so unravel
it all from the inside of the bowl, and the
you should be able to carefully ease the bowl
itself out of your chocolate, keep carefully
pulling back the aluminum foil, gently and
carefully away from the chocolate, until all
you're left with is you delicate chocolate
bowl.
Next we'll look at making a tall container
out of chocolate. To do this particular one,
I have wrapped a glass cup, I've used al-foil
for the base to make it nice and tight and
then I've used non-stick baking paper, just
wrapped around, tightly around the glass.
Just with the chocolate in a randon pattern,
scribble it on to your glass, and then turn
the glass around. And if you can do sort of
circular loops going around, it's going to
be a bit stronger at the top, than having
just straight spikes. So just continue to
circle loop it round, turn your glass to make
sure that you get it the whole way around,
obviously you don't want any gaps, and then
pay particular attention to the base area,
which is the area that will tend to break
a little bit more easily when you're pulling
it off. So just extra pieces around the corners
of your base area and then put it in the fridge
to set. Once it's set, tip it, take out the
glass, and then you need to ease the top of
paper away from the chocolate, and then once
you've got the top away, you should just be
able to twist that baking paper and continue
to twist, which is making the baking paper
smaller, and helping it to pull away from
your chocolate. And then you should just be
left with the aluminium foil right down the
bottom. Just keep twisting that and ease it
out. There's your aluminium foil, and then
just gently pull that out. And there you've
got a nice, tall chocolate container.
