Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate chips or chocolate bar, chopped, 7 oz
- vegetable oil a few drops or almond oil
Instructions
- Use a large knife to chop the chocolate into small pieces (you can also use chocolate chips). Place in a small bowl.
- Bring a small saucepan filled 1/2 with water to the boil and reduce the heat until it barely simmers. Place the bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom doesn’t touch the water.
- Stir until the chocolate melts and is completely smooth. Take off the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Inflate the balloons. Add a couple of drops of oil on a piece of kitchen towel and wipe the balloons.
- Line a tray with baking paper.
- Dip a balloon in the melted chocolate, rotating slowly so that the bottom and sides are covered – about halfway up.
- Lift the balloon and let any excess chocolate drip off. Place on the tray.
- Repeat with more balloons until you have used most of the chocolate. Place the balloons slightly apart on the tray.
- Leave the cups to dry at room temperature for a couple of hours or place in the fridge (the chocolate will lose some of its gloss if you put the cups in the fridge).
- When the chocolate is completely dry, use scissors to snip a small hole in the balloons allowing them to slowly deflate.
- Gently pull the balloons out – don’t worry if there are small holes at the bottom of the cups, simply patch with some leftover melted chocolate and leave to dry.
- Fill the balloons with ice cream and fresh berries and serve with a dusting of chocolate shavings.
