Step 1: Edible Choclate Bowls

I love serving the dessert in edible chocolate bowls and I also
love because they are so easy to make. These bowls can be filled with an ice cream or your favourite fruit custard or pudding.

Ingredients required:

chocolate pieces

Balloons

Any oil or Crisco spray

Baking paper

Step 2: Procedure

-clean and dry the balloons. Blow the balloon and tie with a knot.
-Apply some oil or Crisco spray to the base of the balloon so that chocolate comes out easily without sticking while removing it.

-Take the chocolate and cut into small pieces.

TEMPER the chocolate:

-Correct melting the chocolate is very important. Otherwise the chocolate might burn.

-place the chocolate pieces in microwave for about 30 secs and then mix it.Then again keep for 15 secs

. -Slowly reduce the time span and mix in regular intervals. The amount of time taken depends on the quantity of chocolate.

-If you place the chocolate on a strip of paper and if choclate settles in 2 to 3 mins correct tempering is done or else you have to add more chocolate pieces and melt.

Step 3: Making Choclate Bowls and Decorating With Sugar Glitters:

Turn the base of the balloon upwards. cool the melted choclate.Now slowly pour the choclate on the base of the balloon.

-choclate starts dripping down. Leave it so that we can cut extra pieces after bowl is formed.
-Take a baking paper. Place little choclate liquid on baking paper

-Place the balloon on the baking paper where we applied choclate liquid.

-Don't disturb it and leave outside for 1 hr. Or you can refrigerate it for 10 mins.

-Now slowly cut near the knot with scissor and allow the air to expel slowly.Be careful while puncturing .The balloon might burst and bowl can break.

- slowly remove the balloon from the bowl.

-sugar glitters can be applied on the border of choclate bowls for sparking effect

. -serve puddings,icecream,fruit custard in choclate bowls and enjoy.
