Equipment

  • Edible Printer
  • Blank Simi Transfer Sheets
  • Images to print
  • Baking Tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag (optional)
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cookie cutters (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • White Milk, or Dark chocolate melting wafers
  • Desserts of choice

Instructions 

  • Choose your image and print your edible paper.
    Decide on what image you would like to print on your edible paper. You can choose pictures, patterns, designs or shapes to be printed onto your edible paper.
    Once you have decided on an image, use your edible printer to print it onto your blank simi transfer sheets. Alternatively, if you do not have a printer then you can buy your own transfer sheets online that are available in different designs.
  • Melt your chocolate wafers.
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your white, milk, or dark chocolate wafers. Microwave in 30 seconds intervals at half power until your chocolate is fully melted. Allow the melted chocolate to cool for a couple of minutes before using.
    Instead of using a microwave-safe bowl, you can also use a double broiler to melt your chocolate. Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place your broiler above the pan, allowing the chocolate to melt.

  • Add the chocolate to the transfer paper.
    Lay your transfer paper down on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pour your melted chocolate onto your transfer paper, using an offset spatula to smooth it out. Then, allow the chocolate to cool for 1o minutes at room temperature before peeling off the protective plastic.
    In addition, you can also add your chocolate to a piping bag and pipe different designs onto the transfer sheet. Let the piped chocolate shape dry for around 10 minutes. Once dry, carefully pick them up and the designs will be set on the chocolate.
  • Shape your chocolate transfer sheet.
    Once your chocolate transfer sheet has dried, you can use a sharp knife to cut the chocolate into pieces. In addition, you can also use cookie cutters to cut out different shapes of chocolate.
    Then, you can place your chocolate transfer sheets on different desserts to create beautiful decorations. Alternatively, you can also serve the chocolate pieces as is as a favor or side dish at a party.

Notes

Though you can use any type of chocolate for transfer sheets, white chocolate is generally the best one to use. White chocolate will generally show off colored designs and images better than milk or dark chocolate will. However, you can always experiment with the different types of chocolates and different designs when using transfer sheets.
Printing chocolate transfer sheets can be tricky, so it may take a few tries to get it right. It is best to have enough chocolate to do a practice round in case it doesn't turn out the way you want it to. Don't be surprised if it takes you a few tries to get right when you are first working with edible images.
