7 Wonders Showpiece
Project Type
Chocolate Showpiece
Our chocolate showpiece is designed to incorporate elements that encompass the 7 Wonders into one piece. The pillar was chosen to represent the pillars found at the Taj Mahal, the Colosseum, Christ the Redeemer and Petra, Jordan. The base pieces are designed to nod to Macchu Pichu, Chichen Itza, and the Great Wall of China. To top it all of, a cacao bean can be found resting atop the pillar alongside our chocolates.

Ingredients Amount
Cocoa nibs 1367g
Cocoa Butter 160g
Sugar 474g

Method:
1. Grind nibs in a Robo Coupe until they are semi coarse in texture like sand.
2. Using a heat gun, heat the wheels of the melanger. Add the ground nibs in small portions to allow the machine to process the nibs before adding more. Start adding cocoa butter to aid if needed.
3. Once all nibs are added begin to add the remaining ingredients, alternating between cocoa butter and sugar. Use heat gun to heat wheels and bowl of melanger if needed.
4. When all ingredients are added, leave the machine to run for 3-5 days until a grindometer test reads 30 of less.
5. Temper chocolate and mold as desired.
