The transfer is a multi-purpose product based on the principle of decalcomania which allows the printing of many culinary creations.
It is created using the screen printing technique with coloured patterns printed on a plastic sheet. The colouring mass used is composed of cocoa butter, natural colours and sometimes white chocolate.
Easy to use, the professional chocolate transfer can be adapted in an infinite number of ways to best meet your needs and the expectations of your customers.
Discover 8 uses of transfert!
1. Chocolate decorations
You can of course use your transfers to make your own printed decorations. You can use your transfers to make your own printed decorations, in the form of cookie cutters or simply pieces of broken chocolate. Make the design you want with Chocolatree transfer sheets!
Tips for using chocolate decorations
Spread an even layer of tempered chocolate on a transfer sheet.
When the chocolate starts to crystallise, use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes that you will use as decorations (if not, you can cut out the shapes after crystallisation with a heated cookie cutter).
For best results, it is advisable to press the shapes into a flat surface. Then place in the fridge at 4°C to 6°C for 30 minutes or leave to crystallize overnight at 16°C.

4. Mousses or creamy desserts
We don’t think of decorating a mousse directly. However, transferring is the original solution to make your recipes more enchanting with a wave of your magic wand!
Advice on how to use it for your mousses or creams
Place the transfer sheet on a plate and then place the stainless steel ring (or other mould). It is also possible to cut the transfer sheet and slide it along the wall of your mould. Pour your mousse or cream. Place in the freezer for 2 hours. Remove the foil from the freezer and allow to thaw.
If necessary, spray a thin layer of neutral topping such as Absolu Cristal.

Decorative idea: create small discs of printed creamy to put on your desserts. To do this, pour drops of creamy on a transfer sheet, press to form circles, freeze and peel off the printed discs. Place them on your recipe and let them defrost. If necessary, spray a thin layer of neutral topping such as Absolu Cristal.
