You put chocolate around a balloon to create a chocolate bowl by dipping the balloon into melted chocolate.
Here's a breakdown of the process to make a chocolate balloon bowl:
-
Prepare your workspace: Lay down parchment paper or a silicone mat to place the chocolate-covered balloon on to dry.
-
Melt the chocolate: Melt your chocolate of choice (dark, milk, or white) using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.
-
Inflate the balloon: Inflate a balloon to the desired size of your chocolate bowl. Clean the outside of the balloon.
-
Dip the balloon: Dip the bottom portion of the inflated balloon into the melted chocolate. Ensure the chocolate coats the balloon evenly to the desired height of your bowl.
-
Let it set: Place the chocolate-dipped balloon on the prepared parchment paper or silicone mat. Allow the chocolate to set completely. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
-
Pop the balloon: Once the chocolate is firm, carefully pop the balloon with a pin. Gently peel the balloon away from the chocolate bowl.
-
Enjoy! You now have a chocolate bowl ready to be filled with desserts, fruit, or other treats.
