- Method: Melting and Molding
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Chill Time: 1 hour
- Cuisine: Decadent Desserts
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) of high-quality dark chocolate
- 1 tsp of coconut oil
- 1/4 cup (30 g) of finely chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup (30 g) of freeze-dried fruit pieces (optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total).
- Optionally, stir in chopped nuts or freeze-dried fruit pieces.
- Pour the melted chocolate into silicone molds, filling each cavity carefully.
- Gently tap the molds to release trapped air bubbles (because chocolatier isn’t the same as bubbly-air-master).
- Place molds in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
- Once set, pop the chocolates out of the molds and devour with delight!
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate. Add a splash of vanilla extract for a gourmet touch.
- Garnishing Options: Dust with cocoa powder, sprinkle with sea salt, or drizzle with a contrasting chocolate.
- Cooking Tips: Ensure the molds are completely dry before filling to avoid any pesky water spots. Experiment with different mold shapes for fun!
