Maker Monday: Paper Cornet and Chocolate Work
Another great video from Albarock: Technique du cornet au chocolate – cornet techniques with chocolate. His recipe for the chocolate: for the amount of chocolate in weight, add in 10% of that in oil (example – 100g of chocolate, add in 10g of oil). Melt in microwave – just to melt, do not get hot.
He does a really great job of showing how to properly roll a strong, tight cornet. If you are wanting to pipe out chocolate using a paper cornet, having a good paper cornet is really a necessity. 😉
Chocolate piping tips using a cornet:
Use a properly rolled cornet. (Stiff! Not loose or soft!) You need it to stand up to piping fine work.
