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
Directions
Step 1
Blow up the small balloons to the desired size for your chocolate bowls and tie them securely. Avoid overinflating.
Step 2
Lightly grease the bottom half of each balloon with a thin layer of cooking spray or oil to prevent the chocolate from sticking.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Let the melted chocolate cool for about 5 minutes. It should still be liquid but not too hot to the touch.
Step 5
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Repeat this process for all the balloons and then transfer the tray to the refrigerator. Let the chocolate set completely, about 30-45 minutes.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Trim any uneven edges of the bowls with a sharp knife if necessary.
Step 11
Use the chocolate bowls immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
