Creamy Cacao Butter or "Silk" Basics: Free Class


Seeding with creamy cacao butter (aka "silk") is our favorite no-fuzz pre-crystallization or chocolate tempering technique.

In this class, Chef Melissa teaches you how to make and maintain this convenient and essential ingredient, which you can easily prepare with any cocoa butter you have in hand and a chocolate warmer.

If you always thought tempering chocolate was a long, messy process, with this 30-minute class, we want to show you it doesn't have to!

This is the perfect first step to making and tempering your chocolates, ganaches, and fat-based products (like crunches, pralinés, and dujas).

Discover how to make it now and forget about tabling chocolate!
