How to make:
1. Finely chop cacao butter and cacao paste.
2. Melt gently using a double boiler.
3. Do not heat above 46°C / 115°F.
4. Remove from heat around 43–44°C / 110–112°F — the temperature will continue rising.
5. Cool chocolate to 29°C / 84°F.
6. Add sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
7. Reheat gently to 31°C / 88°F.
8. Pour into molds and let crystallize.
I have a very detailed video about this process on my YouTube channel My Plant Cake.
And honestly, every time I temper chocolate, I still open that video too 😅
You can even see it in this reel.

Beautiful glossy finish.
And that perfect chocolate SNAP… with clean hands ✨
This is the difference between simply melted chocolate
and properly tempered chocolate.
