Tip: Tempering naturally wastes 10 to 15% of the chocolate (residue in the bowl and on the spatula). Always allow for a little more than the exact quantity.

3Recommended chocolate for this mold
Dulcey 35% Blond, with its natural golden-sand color, for creating a chocolate age without coloring.
4Express tempering: the 3 curves
Tempering crystallizes the cocoa butter into a stable form. Without tempering, chocolate turns white, loses its shine, and does not unmold properly.
| Chocolate | 1. Melting | 2. Cooling | 3. Reheating (working temperature) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark 60–72% | 50–55 °C | 28–29 °C | 31–32 °C |
| Milk 30–40% | 45–50 °C | 27–28 °C | 29–30 °C |
| White / Inspiration | 40–45 °C | 26–27 °C | 28–29 °C |
Tip: To simplify the process, use the Mycryo method (Valrhona powdered cocoa butter): melt to 40–45 °C, add 1% Mycryo at 34–35 °C, and mix. Express tempering without a complex curve.

6Make your mold last 10 years
A Silikomart mold is a long-lasting investment. Here is how to preserve its qualities over the years.
Wash with warm, soapy water and dry. No need to grease it: Silikomart silicone is naturally nonstick.
Use warm water and mild soap, or the dishwasher (top rack). Avoid abrasive sponges, which can weaken the silicone.
Store flat or rolled without tight folds, away from direct heat and dust. Ideally, keep it in a closed box.
10 years or more with proper care. Signs of wear: embedded greasy stains, loss of elasticity, or permanent deformation.

Frequently asked questions
How many chocolates can I make at once?
This mold has 10 cavities of approximately 12.4 mL each. With one molding, you can therefore make 10 chocolates. For professional batch production, it is common to use 3 to 5 identical molds in parallel.
Do I need to grease the silicone mold before use?
No. Silikomart silicone is naturally nonstick. Properly tempering your chocolate is enough for perfect unmolding. Greasing would leave greasy marks on the chocolate's surface.
Why does my chocolate turn white after crystallization?
Whitening (bloom) indicates failed tempering: either the chocolate was melted too hot (above 55 °C), or cooling was insufficient. The flavor is not affected, but the shine and snap are lost. Remelting and retempering will correct the defect.
How can I keep the digits aligned for a countdown or calendar?
Unmold the 10 digits, then arrange them flat in order on a tray, separated by parchment paper, before the final assembly. Since the digits 6 and 9 are identical when rotated 180 degrees, note the mold's original orientation so you do not reverse them.
Can I use Candy Melts or Deco Melts instead of chocolate?
Yes, absolutely. Candy Melts (Wilton, FunCakes, PME Cake) are designed to melt without tempering and are an excellent alternative for beginners or children. The result will be slightly less shiny than with tempered chocolate.
Please note: For perfect unmolding the first time, keep your mold flat at room temperature before use. A mold that is too cold (taken from a cool cupboard) creates thermal shock when it comes into contact with tempered chocolate.
