Method

  • 1
    Prepare the 500g (17.63oz) of dark chocolate by melting and tempering the chocolate ready to work with
  • 2
    Prepare the moulds by polishing each cavity thoroughly. Sprinkle the clementine fragments across the bottom of the mould. Sprinkle the gingerbread granules on top of the clementine fragments
  • 3
    Top the clementine and gingerbread layer with the prepared, tempered dark chocolate, filling the mould
  • 4
    Gently tap the mould to bring any air bubbles to the surface. Allow the chocolate to form crystals on the top before putting in the fridge to fully set for about 30 minutes before tapping the chocolates out of the moulds.
