Melt the milk chocolate couverture and cocoa butter to 45-50°C (113-122°F) and then blend with praliné. Reheat the mixture to 45°C (113°F). Temper until it starts to set at 25-26°C (77-78°F) before filling.
Assembly and finishing
Use a paintbrush to decorate some half-sphere molds with a dash of violet colored cocoa butter. Mold the half-spheres with the tempered couverture.
Flip over and leave the chocolate to run off for a few seconds before smoothing off.
Trim the half-spheres before they have completely set.
Leave to set.
Blend the fruit jelly in a food processor and then pipe around 3g into each half-sphere.
Temper the Chocolate Praliné and then pipe around 3g into each half-sphere.
Leave to set for 24 hours at 17°C (63°F) and at 60% humidity.Temper some violet cocoa butter to 30-32°C (86-90°F) and use a wide brush or comb to make stripes on an acetate sheet.
When set, brush the surface with silver powder.
Slightly melt the edges of the half-spheres with a heat gun, seal with some tempered milk chocolate couverture and then immediately add half a cocoa butter acetate sheet, pressing down firmly and taking care to remove any trapped air.
Leave to set at 17°C (63°F), remove the acetate sheets and unmold.
