Melted tempered chocolate may just be the best thing ever. It is rich, creamy and takes every dessert up a notch. That is why most of take the time to make it and enjoy it on everything we can think of. However, storing it and knowing how to use it again can be tricky. These easy tips are about to change all of that for good!
The Tips For Storing And Using Up Melted And Tempered Chocolate That Everyone Should Know Are:
Whatever you do, don't let that leftover chocolate harden in the bowl; it'll be a pain to remove. And don't transfer it to any sort of plastic container, as it may solidify into a puck too thick to chop easily. Instead, as soon as you've finished using it, pour that chocolate straight onto a sheet of parchment, and pop it in the fridge until it's hardened through and through.
You can peel up the hardened chocolate to stash in a zipper-lock bag, where it's easily broken up, but I like to chop it into bite-size pieces for ease of use. Due to potential contaminants and the likelihood that your chocolate is no longer in perfect temper, it's best to store that bag o' leftovers in the fridge. Refrigerated, the chocolate can be kept for a few months.
Whether it makes up all or just a portion of the chocolate you need, leftovers work well in any recipe in which the chocolate will eventually be subjected to some heat, like baked goods or stovetop custards. If you like, pudding and ice cream bases can be strained to remove any cookie crumbs buried in the chocolate.
