  • 50 g melted dark chocolate 62%

  • 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.
