How to Melt Chocolate

Fine Cooking Issue 61


Decorative drizzle:To give plain cookies or a simple cake a pretty finishing touch, scrape melted chocolate into a small heavy-duty zip-top bag, seal it, and gather the chocolate into one corner. Snip off a small bit of the tip and drizzle the chocolate onto the cookies.
Chocolate shards:Spread melted chocolate on a piece of waxed paper, roll it up, and chill until set. Then unroll the tube, breaking the chocolate into spiky shards.Watch a video to see how it’s done.
Chocolate leaves:Paint the undersides of organic leaves (lemon leaves have a nice shape) with melted chocolate and then peel the leaves away once the chocolate has set.Watch a video to see how it’s done.

Whether you’re melting chocolate forcookies,coating truffles, or adecadent chocolate sauce, you want to avoid putting it directly on the stovetop, which can cause scorching. The safest methods for melting chocolate gently are either on the stovetop over a water bath (which we find a little easier and more consistent) or in the microwave.
