Suggestions

  • Alternative Ingredients: Swap dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate for a different twist.
  • Garnishing Options: Add a dollop of whipped cream, a handful of fresh berries, or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra touch of magic.
  • Cooking Tips: If your dough is too crumbly, add an extra teaspoon of ice water. Ensure the filling doesn’t boil when baking; you want a gentle wobble, not a volcanic eruption.
