Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Candy

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

24 fresh leaves (washed and dried)
8 ounces chocolate candy coating
Optional: luster dust (to decorate)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with waxed paper or parchment paper..
  • Place the candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.
  • Dip the paintbrush in the melted candy coating and brush a thick layer of chocolate on the underside of the leaf. The underside typically has more pronounced veins, and will give you a better pattern on your leaves. Make sure that you're generous with the layer of candy coating-if it's too thin, the chocolate leaf will crack when you to remove it.
  • Set the leaf, chocolate side up, on the waxed paper, and repeat with the remaining leaves. You can use different colors of candy coating to make a variety of leaves, if you'd like.
  • Once all of the leaves are covered with chocolate, refrigerate the tray to set the coating, for about 20 minutes.
  • When the chocolate is fully set, remove the tray from the refrigerator. Carefully peel the leaves back from the chocolate, trying not to handle the leaves too much to prevent your body heat from melting the chocolate.
  • If you'd like to give your leaves a metallic shine, use luster dust to decorate them when they're finished. Dip a clean, dry paintbrush in luster dust, and brush a thin layer of dust along the edges. For a more dramatic look, brush a layer of dust over the entire leaf.

CHOCOLATE LEAVES

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield Approximately 2 dozen leaves

Number Of Ingredients 1

16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, tempered

Steps:

  • Place the metal leaf template onto parchment paper. Using a small offset spatula, spread bittersweet chocolate over the template. Remove the stencil and allow to harden. If you don't have a stencil, use a paintbrush to spread bittersweet chocolate over a real leaf on the shiny side, keeping the thickness to about 1/8-inch. Allow the chocolate to set completely then gently peel back the leaf from the chocolate.
  • How to Temper Chocolate(From Dessert Circus, Extraordinary Desserts You Can Make At Home by Jacques Torres):
  • Chocolate is tempered so that after it has been melted, it retains its gloss and hardens again without becoming chalky and white (that happens when the molecules of fat separate and form on top of the chocolate). There are a variety of ways to temper.
  • One of the easiest ways to temper chocolate is to chop it into small pieces and then place it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time on high power until most of the chocolate is melted. Be very careful not to overheat it. (The temperature of dark chocolate should be between 88 and 90 degrees F, slightly warmer than your bottom lip. It will retain its shape even when mostly melted. White and milk chocolates melt at a temperature approximately 2 degrees F less because of the amount of lactose they contain.) Any remaining lumps will melt in the chocolate's residual heat. Use an immersion blender or whisk to break up the lumps. Usually, chocolate begins to set, or crystallize, along the side of the bowl. As it sets, mix those crystals into the melted chocolate to temper it. A glass bowl retains heat well and keeps the chocolate tempered longer.
  • Another way to temper chocolate is called seeding. In this method, add small pieces of unmelted chocolate to melted chocolate. The amount of unmelted chocolate to be added depends on the temperature of the melted chocolate, but is usually 1/4 of the total amount. It is easiest to use an immersion blender for this, or a whisk.
  • The classic way to temper chocolate is called tabliering. Two thirds of the melted chocolate is poured onto a marble or another cold work surface. The chocolate is spread out and worked with a spatula until its temperature is approximately 81 degrees F. At this stage, it is thick and begins to set. This tempered chocolate is then added to the remaining non-tempered chocolate and mixed thoroughly until the mass has a completely uniform temperature. If the temperature is still too high, part of the chocolate is worked further on the cold surface until the correct temperature is reached. This is a lot of work, requires a lot of room, and makes a big mess.
  • A simple method of checking tempering, is to apply a small quantity of chocolate to a piece of paper or to the point of a knife. If the chocolate has been correctly tempered, it will harden evenly and show a good gloss within a few minutes.

WHITE-CHOCOLATE-MINT MOUSSE



White-Chocolate-Mint Mousse image

A very simple, very delicious mousse. I serve it in individual goblets, garnished with fresh mint, or, if there's time, mint leaves brushed with egg white and coated with confectioner's sugar and frozen. Or, even fancier, paint mint leaves with melted dark chocolate, chill, then peel off the mint leaves--you have delicate dark chocolate leaves for garnish.

Provided by Chef Kate

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups cold heavy cream (divided use, NOT ultra pasteurized)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
10 ounces white chocolate, chopped I use Lindt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon mint extract (the organic kind)
white chocolate, shavings for topping
fresh mint leaves (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Have ready a serving bowl with at least a 6-cup capacity.
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, place 1/2 cup of the cream and the butter and heat until the mixture is hot and the butter melts. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Add the white chocolate and let it soften in the hot cream mixture for about 30 seconds. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and all of the white chocolate melts.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool to the touch but still pourable, about 30 minutes.
  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer, mix the remaining 2 cups of cold cream, vanilla, mint extract and the cooled white-chocolate mixture on low speed to blend the ingredients.
  • Increase the speed to medium high and beat until firm peaks form, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer the mousse to a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. When ready to serve, either leave in the serving bowl or spoon into individual serving bowls/goblets, garnish with the white-chocolate shavings and mint leaves and serve cold.
