Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark or milk chocolate (high-quality, for melting)
- 6 pieces Small balloons
- 1 teaspoon Cooking spray or oil (for greasing balloons)
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Blow up the small balloons to the desired size for your chocolate bowls and tie them securely. Avoid overinflating.
Lightly grease the bottom half of each balloon with a thin layer of cooking spray or oil to prevent the chocolate from sticking.
Roughly chop the chocolate into small, even pieces and melt it using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
Let the melted chocolate cool for about 5 minutes. It should still be liquid but not too hot to the touch.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Dip the greased bottom of each balloon into the melted chocolate, swirling it to coat the bottom and sides to form a 'bowl' shape. Lift the balloon and allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the chocolate-coated balloons on the parchment-lined tray with the chocolate side down. If needed, add a small dollop of chocolate at the base to create a stable bottom.
Repeat this process for all the balloons and then transfer the tray to the refrigerator. Let the chocolate set completely, about 30-45 minutes.
Once the chocolate is hardened, carefully pop each balloon with a pin or needle. Gently peel away and remove the balloon pieces from the chocolate bowls.
Trim any uneven edges of the bowls with a sharp knife if necessary.
Use the chocolate bowls immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
