Amount to prepare
15% tempering allowance
For half a mold (6 pieces): allow approximately half these quantities. For several molds, multiply these values by the number of molds used simultaneously.
Tip: tempering naturally wastes 10 to 15% of the chocolate (residue in the bowl and on the spatula). Always prepare a little more than the strictly calculated amount.

Recommended chocolate for this mold
Our selection of Valrhona couverture chocolate for signature assorted pralines, perfectly suited to precision molding.
Recommended chocolate: Dulcey 35% Blond 250g (€12.99)
Quick tempering: the 3 curves
Tempering crystallizes 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 at 40-45 °C, add 1% Mycryo at 34-35 °C, and mix. Quick tempering without a complex temperature curve.

Make your mold last ten years
A Silikomart mold is a durable investment. Here is how to preserve its qualities over the years.
- Before first use: Wash in warm, soapy water and dry. No need to grease it: Silikomart silicone is naturally nonstick.
- Routine cleaning: Use warm water and mild soap, or the dishwasher (top rack). Avoid abrasive sponges, which can weaken the silicone.
- Storage: Store flat or rolled without tight creases, away from direct heat and dust. Ideally, keep it in a closed box.
- Lifespan: 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 12 cavities of approximately 8 mL each. With one molding session, you can therefore make 12 chocolates. For professional batch production, it is common to use 3 to 5 identical molds simultaneously.
Should I 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 taste is not affected, but the shine and snap are lost. Remelting and tempering again corrects the issue.
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.
How can I achieve a mirror finish on the chocolates?
Three keys: precise tempering at the temperatures shown in the table above, a perfectly clean and dry mold, and stable crystallization at room temperature (18-20 °C), not in the refrigerator, where condensation creates spots.
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.
