Edible Chocolate Sprinkle Bowls Recipes

EDIBLE CHOCOLATE BOWL

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Continue heating the chocolate for 10 seconds at a time until completely melted; be careful not to burn the chocolate. Stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly; the heat can pop the balloons.
• Blow up 2 latex balloons to 4 to 6 inches in diameter and tie. Carefully dip each balloon in the chocolate. Rotate and slightly tilt each balloon, allowing the chocolate to go up the sides. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides.
• Cool the balloons in the refrigerator tie-side down in a glass bowl or muffin tin for 5 minutes to set. Carefully snip the ties off with scissors to remove the balloons. The balloons should separate from the chocolate. If the balloons are still stuck to the chocolate, carefully peel off.
• If you'd like the bowls to sit flat for serving, add a dollop of melted chocolate, about 1/2 tablespoon, to the center of the bottom of the bowls and place on a piece of parchment paper. Let set in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

CHOCOLATE SPRINKLES

Steps:

• Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, instant coffee if using and 3 tablespoons water in a bowl until homogenized and there are no lumps.
• Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with the number 2 or number 3 tip, a paper cone or a plastic bag with the tip snipped off. Arrange 2 sheets of parchment paper on a clean surface and draw a series of long, thin parallel lines with the batter. Let dry at room temperature for 24 hours.
• Cut the lines into sprinkles using a chef's knife. Sprinkles keep in a well-sealed container at room temperature for several months. Use them on top of ice cream, over truffles or even... on bread!

EDIBLE SPRINKLE BOWLS

Steps:

• Inflate 4 small balloons to desired size. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Set up your station: Place rainbow sprinkles in a large bowl. In another large, microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Working one at a time, dip the bottom of the balloon into the melted chocolate, rolling it around to make sure all sides are evenly coated. Quickly roll the balloon into the sprinkle bowl, making sure all of the chocolate is coated. Place on parchment sheet to set for at least 1 hour. Repeat to make 3 more balloon bowls.
• Once fully set, pop balloons and remove to reveal bowl. Serve with ice cream.
