Ingredients:
2 cups light corn syrup
2 cups melted chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the corn syrup, melted chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Step 2: Add in 2 cups of powdered sugar, and begin to mix with a spoon or spatula. It may become difficult to mix, so you can add in another cup of powdered sugar. If the mixture still feels too sticky, continue to add more powdered sugar until it‘s smooth and firm to the touch.
Step 3: Once you’ve reached the desired consistency, wrap the mixture in a plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This step is important because it will allow the chocolate plastic to firm up and become easier to work with.
Step 4: When the chocolate plastic has been refrigerated, dust a clean surface, and your hands, with powdered sugar, before taking the mixture out. This will help prevent sticking.
Step 5: Roll out the chocolate plastic on the powdered sugar-dusted surface, and begin to shape it however you wish. It’s possible to cut it into shapes, make it into roses or any other design you prefer.
Step 6: Once you’ve shaped your chocolate plastic, use it to decorate your desserts! You can paint it with different colors using food coloring and edible paint brushes, or you may leave it plain for an elegant and straightforward look.
Chocolate plastic is a great way to add a unique and fun touch to your desserts. It may take a bit of practice to get the right consistency when you’re first making it, but the end result is worth it. You may also use different flavors of chocolate chips to achieve different tastes to your chocolate plastic. For example, you may use dark chocolate chips if you wish to have a deeper flavor profile.
If you’re looking for an easy and impressive way to decorate your desserts, then you should definitely try out chocolate plastic. It is an excellent tool to have in your arsenal as a baker, and it opens up a wide range of possibilities for decorating creative desserts.
