20 ounces Couverture chocolate, tempered
2 fluid ounces Peanut oil
1. Combine 20 ounces (600 grams) tempered couverture with 2 fluid ounces (60 milliliters) peanut oil to make it spread easily and remain pliable when set.
2. Spread the chocolate on a marble slab. Allow it to cool slightly, just until the surface of the chocolate loses some of its gloss.
3. If right handed, hold a metal scraper in your right hand at a 90° angle to the marble in front of chocolate.
4. Position the middle finger of your left hand on the lower left corner of the scraper partially touching the chocolate. In a fast motion, scrape forward. The pressure of your left hand will help form the ruffles of chocolate. (Reverse directions if left-handed.)
5. Place fans immediately on cakes to decorate or store them in an airtight container in a cool dry area below 70°F (21°C).
Notes: Variation:
Mint Chocolate Fudge Sauce -- Bring the cream to a boil and steep 1 ounce (30 grams) of finely chopped fresh mint leaves in the cream for 10 minutes. Strain and proceed with the formula.
