Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Milk chocolate
- 100 g White chocolate
- 3 drops Pink food coloring (oil-based)
Instructions
Chop the milk chocolate and white chocolate into small, even pieces for easier melting.
In a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate gently, stirring every 15–20 seconds to ensure it doesn’t overheat or burn. Keep the chocolate smooth and glossy.
Pour the melted milk chocolate into pig-shaped silicone molds, using a small spoon to spread the chocolate evenly into all corners. Tap the mold lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Place the mold in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to allow the milk chocolate to set completely.
While the chocolate is setting, melt the white chocolate in a clean bowl using the same method as above.
Once melted, stir in 2–3 drops of oil-based pink food coloring to achieve a pastel pink shade. Start with fewer drops and add more if needed for the desired color.
Remove the mold with the milk chocolate from the refrigerator and use a small spoon or piping bag to add pink chocolate details, such as ears, snout, or additional decorations. Be creative!
Return the mold to the refrigerator for another 5–10 minutes to set the pink chocolate.
Carefully remove the chocolate pigs from the mold by gently pressing on the back of each shape. Place them on parchment paper or a clean, dry surface.
Store the chocolate pigs in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks, or enjoy immediately as a fun and tasty treat!
