Ingredients
- 300 g Milk chocolate
- 100 g White chocolate
- 3 drops Pink food coloring (oil-based)
Directions
Step 1
Chop the milk chocolate and white chocolate into small, even pieces for easier melting.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Place the mold in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to allow the milk chocolate to set completely.
Step 5
While the chocolate is setting, melt the white chocolate in a clean bowl using the same method as above.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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!
Step 8
Return the mold to the refrigerator for another 5–10 minutes to set the pink chocolate.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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!
