  • Today we're looking at how to making a chocolate bowl using a container as a mould. Here we've

  • tightly covered a bowl using aluminum foil, being careful to press down all the creases

  • to make them smooth. Then take some melted chocolate in a zip-lock bag, and simply scribble

  • it back and forth over your bowl. Then turn your bowl about a third of a way around, and

  • scribble over it again, and then turn it another third and scribble over again. A knife around

  • the base of your bowl to smooth off the edge. And then place it in the fridge to set. Once

  • it's set, put a small amount of chocolate on the bottom of your bowl, turn it over,

  • put it back on the tray and pop it back in the fridge to set again. And then you've got

  • the base for your bowl. Then next you want to take the aluminuim foil off, so unravel

  • it all from the inside of the bowl, and the you should be able to carefully ease the bowl

  • itself out of your chocolate, keep carefully pulling back the aluminum foil, gently and

  • carefully away from the chocolate, until all you're left with is you delicate chocolate

  • bowl.

  • Next we'll look at making a tall container out of chocolate. To do this particular one,

  • I have wrapped a glass cup, I've used al-foil for the base to make it nice and tight and

  • then I've used non-stick baking paper, just wrapped around, tightly around the glass.

  • Just with the chocolate in a randon pattern, scribble it on to your glass, and then turn

  • the glass around. And if you can do sort of circular loops going around, it's going to

  • be a bit stronger at the top, than having just straight spikes. So just continue to

  • circle loop it round, turn your glass to make sure that you get it the whole way around,

  • obviously you don't want any gaps, and then pay particular attention to the base area,

  • which is the area that will tend to break a little bit more easily when you're pulling

  • it off. So just extra pieces around the corners of your base area and then put it in the fridge

  • to set. Once it's set, tip it, take out the glass, and then you need to ease the top of

  • paper away from the chocolate, and then once you've got the top away, you should just be

  • able to twist that baking paper and continue to twist, which is making the baking paper

  • smaller, and helping it to pull away from your chocolate. And then you should just be

  • left with the aluminium foil right down the bottom. Just keep twisting that and ease it

  • out. There's your aluminium foil, and then just gently pull that out. And there you've

  • got a nice, tall chocolate container.
