Petite Chocolate Piping Cone
- 1 1/2 pieces of chocolate Chocolate
- 12 cm Parchment paper
- These are the main tools you will need.
- Cut off about 12 cm of parchment paper.
- Divide the parchment paper into 3 rectangles.
- Diagonally cut each rectangle in half to make triangles.
- Apply double-sided tape on to the edge marked with a blue line as shown in the picture.
- Helpful Hints Fold down a small section of the end of the double-sided tape firmly to make it easier to peel the liner off.
- If you apply the tape onto the parchment paper without leaving this edge, it can be incredibly hard to take the liner off and you may become very frustrated.
- Making this little tab will make it much easier to take the liner off.
- End of Hints
- Roll the parchment paper into a cone shape, with the center at a right angle to the vertex.
- Do not remove the liner of the tape at this point.
- Using your fingernails, seal the double-sided tape firmly to secure the cone.
- This is called a cornet.
- Finely chop a little less than 1/4 of a piece of chocolate with a knife.
- Fill the cornet with the chopped chocolate.
- Fold the tip of the cornet at the edge indicated by the dotted blue line as shown in the picture to close the open end.
- Fold the edge twice, then secure it with another piece of double-sided tape.
- Make a "tab" with the double-sided tape again.
- This is the end product.
- When you use it, heat it up to soften the chocolate, then cut the tip off to pipe out.
- Microwave heating instruction: Heat the cornet for one minute, then heat it in 20 second increments, until softened.
- Adjust the heating time according to your microwave.
- The perfect way to warm it up: In a skillet, pour in 2-cm of hot water and bring it to a boil.
- Place a small plate on top of the hot water and place the cornet on top of the plate.
- Leave it for a few minutes and the chocolate will be softened.
- (Be careful not to let any hot water on the plate.)
- Since the parchment paper is slippery and the double-sided tape does not stick too well, use a small clip to pinch the tops when saving for later use.
- Store them in the refrigerator.
- These are handy to use for cookie decorations that need only a little bit of chocolate.
- Replace the chocolate with ketchup, and now you can write a message on a piece of bread.
