Chocolate Hearts
Ingredients
1 batch of chocolate mousse
1 cup of dark chocolate chips
2 tbsp of coconut oil
What to do
1. Divide mousse into silicon molds. I had a pretty heart shaped mold, but normal cupcake shape would work.Heart molds! |
3. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave. Mine took approx 3mins on 50%. Stir regularly and monitor carefully according to your microwave potential.
4. Upend silicon mold and quickly dip each heart into the chocolate. Coat well.
5. Place chocolate covered hearts on baking paper and refreeze briefly.
6. Serve with berries!
With a bit more time on my hands at the moment I am working on my food styling and photography. So please bear with me as I experiment!Yum! |
Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends.
