NOTE: When pouring melted Coating Chocolate on a cake or pastry product, we recommend that the temperature of the cake is room temperature to ensure a nice and even coating. If you coat a product that has been in the fridge, you may get a thicker and uneven coating. While if the product is too hot, the chocolate will not set as nicely and evenly due to the high temperature. It is NOT recommended to pour this product on ice cream.
What Can You Use This Product For?
