White-Chocolate Gel : Place white chocolate on a sheet tray and into a hot oven and cook until golden brown. While chocolate is caramelizing, bloom gelatin in water until pliable.

Return hot liquid to blender and blend in bloomed gelatin. Pour into a shallow container in the fridge and allow to set. Once set, return to blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add a little water to loosen it, but final gel should be smooth and creamy. Transfer to a squeeze bottle.
