Chocolate Bowls with Chambord Whipped Cream and Berries

Serves 8

For Chocolate Bowls:

8 balloons
10 ounces good dark chocolate, chopped fine
2 cookie sheets
parchment paper

For Whipped Cream:

Pint heavy cream
1 1/2 Tablespoons Chambord (Raspberry Liquor)
1/4 cup powdered sugar

For Garnishment:

Fresh Berries
Chocolate Syrup (optional)
Mint (optional)

What to do:

Step 01 //

blow up the balloons. you want them small and round like balls

Step 02//

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper

Boil water in a pan and reduce to simmer

Step 03//

Set another pan or microwavable glass bowl on top of the simmering water and put in half of the chocolate (don’t let steam touch chocolate), stir continuously and let it melt.

Step 04//

Remove from heat and stir in remaining chocolate until smooth. Drop 8 1/2-teaspoons of melted chocolate on parchment paper to make disks…you are creating the bottom of the bowls (so they don’t leak).

Step 05//

Next, carefully dip each balloon (about 1/2 to 3/4 of balloon) into the melted chocolate and set on top of the chocolate disks on parchment paper.

Step 06//

(My bowls look a little messy because I was running out of chocolate and was spooning it on. If you have a lot of melted chocolate they will have a perfect rim when you dip them.)
Let set in fridge for about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes take the cookie sheets out and let the bowls sit for about 5-10 minutes. While pinching the tops of the balloon snip or poke a hole to release the air…SLOWLY.

Step 07//

Hopefully, the balloon will release freely. If it doesn’t, do not pull the balloon away from chocolate just let it sit for a few more minutes and the chocolate should release the balloon on its own.
