Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your coffee crisps. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, dark flavor.
- Temper your chocolate: Tempering your chocolate is a process of heating and cooling it in a specific way. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a smooth, glossy finish. If you don't temper your chocolate, it will be more likely to seize and become grainy.
- Use a thin layer of chocolate: When you're spreading the chocolate onto the wafers, use a thin layer. This will help the chocolate to crisp up nicely and prevent it from becoming too thick and gooey.
- Chill the coffee crisps before serving: Once you've made your coffee crisps, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the chocolate to set and firm up.
