Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams white chocolate
- 1 small can nonstick cooking spray
- 6 pieces small balloons
Instructions
Clean the small balloons and inflate them to about the size of a small orange or tennis ball. Knot the ends to secure.
Spray each balloon lightly with nonstick cooking spray. This ensures the chocolate will release easily.
Chop the white chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure smooth melting.
Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt it gently using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, allow it to cool slightly before use. It should still be liquid but not hot to the touch.
Line a baking tray with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
Dip a spoon into the melted chocolate and drizzle it over a balloon in a crisscross pattern, creating a 'lace-like' structure. Repeat for all the balloons, ensuring the chocolate layers are thick enough to hold their shape when set.
Carefully place the chocolate-covered balloons upright on the prepared baking tray. Allow them to cool and harden completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once the chocolate has fully hardened, gently pop the balloons with a pin and carefully peel away the balloon remnants from the inside of the chocolate cups.
Store the white chocolate lace cups in a cool, dry place until ready to serve. Fill them with mousse, fruit, or your desired dessert filling and enjoy!
