Making the Cocoa Bombs
- This part is 100% optional and a personal choice:
- Cut the silicone molds so that each sphere mold is by itself as shown in the IP image. I did this because I felt it was easier to control the mold when working with the melted chocolate.
- Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny coat on it.
- Using a heat-safe bowl, pour into the bowl and place the remaining of the Ghirardelli melting wafers in the microwave for 45-second intervals. Make sure to stir the chocolate after every 45 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
- Using a spoon, spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the chocolate into the mold.
- Carefully swirl the chocolate to completely coat the inside of the mold.
- Lightly shake the extra chocolate back into the bowl.
- Place the coated molds into the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge and gently peel the silicone mold back away from the hardened chocolate shell.
- Carefully place the mold onto the cookie sheet.
- Repeat steps with remaining molds.
- Scoop some melted chocolate into the piping bag and set aside.
- You should now have 8 half-sphere molds.
- Carefully take the open side of the sphere and place it onto the pan to melt off the uneven edges to create a smooth edging.
- Place the shell back onto the cookie sheet and allow the edge to harden.
Building the cocoa bomb:
- Scoop about 1 tbsp of the Mexican hot cocoa mix into the bottom of the sphere mold.
- Place a piece of tequila truffle in the center.
- Place a few mini marshmallows around the truffle.
- Sprinkle a pinch of the chili powder and cayenne pepper powder onto the marshmallows.
- Place the top of the shell back onto the warm pan to melt the edges for a few seconds.
- Quickly place the melted edges onto the filled shell and gently press down.
- Cut the tip off the piping bag and drizzle over the cocoa bombs.
- Sprinkle some more of the chili powder and cayenne pepper powder onto the chocolate.
- Allow setting before enjoying in an 8oz glass of steamed milk!
