Coffee bean sugar shell
Servings 20 shells
Ingredients
- 300 g isomalt sugar
- 100 g mannitol
- 100 g sugar
- 2 g instant coffee powder
- 50 g melted dark chocolate 62%
- 50 g melted cacao butter

Instructions
- Mix the isomalt sugar with the mannitol and the sugar. Heat this up till the temperature of the sugar is 155 °C. Once the sugar starts to melt stir it every now and then.
- Then turn down the heat and add the instant coffee powder. Mix it well to dissolve the powder.
- After that fill a couple of coffee bean molds. These are from Mold Brothers. Click here for more info. Now directly turn them around and let the sugar drip out on a silicon mold. You can remelt this and use it again.
- Then clean the top and once it has cooled down remove them from the mold. Be very gently so you don’t break the sugar.
- Now heat up an old knife with a blowtorch and cut the bottom off. Clean the knife after each coffee bean so the sugar doesn’t burn.
- After that mix the melted cacao butter and the melted dark chocolate. Add a thin layer of this mixture with a brush.
- Once that’s set dust it with some cacao powder and then keep them dry and covered for later.
