Different ways to use Wilton Paramount Crystals

Chocolate and Coatings

Wilton Paramount Crystals can be used in chocolate, candy melts, and yoghurt coatings. They improve flow and create a smoother, more uniform texture, making dipping, coating, and detailed decorating easier.

They also support more even melting and help achieve more consistent tempering results. The finished chocolate becomes more stable, develops a cleaner snap, and maintains its quality for longer. The recommended dosage is 3 to 5% of the total weight of the mixture, equivalent to 3 to 5 g per 100 g of product. For best results, the crystals should be fully melted and incorporated into the fat phase to ensure even distribution.

Buttercream and High-Fat Fillings

Wilton Paramount Crystals are particularly useful for improving the stability of buttercream and other high-fat fillings, especially when working in warmer environments or during outdoor events.

They help reduce fat separation, improve heat resistance, and limit softening while maintaining a smooth and creamy texture. This allows decorations and fillings to hold their shape for longer. The recommended dosage is 2 to 4% of the total fat content of the recipe, equivalent to 2 to 4 g per 100 g of fat. For best results, melt the crystals completely and mix them into the butter or melted fat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly while remaining fluid before whipping or adding other ingredients. Do not add the crystals in solid form to an already whipped mixture.

Biscuits, Tart Bases and Shortcrust Pastry

Wilton Paramount Crystals can also be used in pastry recipes to improve the texture of biscuits, shortbread, and tart bases. They help create baked goods with a crisper texture and a more stable structure.

By improving consistency and reducing softening after baking, the crystals make doughs easier to handle and deliver more reliable results. The recommended dosage is 3 to 5% of the total fat content of the recipe. For best results, melt the crystals completely and incorporate them into the fat before adding the dry ingredients. Depending on the desired texture, they can also partially replace a portion of the fat in the recipe.

Wilton Paramount Crystals are gluten-free, salt-free, and sugar-free. They are also suitable for kosher, halal, and vegan diets, making them a versatile ingredient for a wide range of baking applications and dietary preferences.
