Today we're looking at how to make chocolate bowls using ice as a mould, and this chocolate

sphere. To start with we'll need to melt our chocolate. I'm gonna to use chocolate melts.

To melt those in the microwave, 30 seconds, stir, 20 seconds, stir, 10 seconds, stir,

and then repeat that until it is completely melted. You must stir it, or they will burn.

And use a bowl that doesn't get hot.

So to use an ice mould, obviously you have to make the ice in the shape that you want,

so I've used some cheap sphere ice moulds from China for these moulds. And then just

simply put your chocolate in a zip-lock bag and zig-zag it back and forth over the top

of your ice. And then before it sets completely hard, you need to get a round cookie cutter.

And just place that over the top to cut off any excess chocolate, unless of course you

want the excess chocolate there in your design, I didn't in these ones. So just, on each of

them, push down, and then you should just be able to wait a couple of minutes, and simply

lift the chocolate off the ice, because the ice starts to melt and get smaller, which

makes it ver easy to get the chocolate off.

Then the next question of course is, can you use that same mehtod with a larger chocolate?

Well yes you can. Here I've made a more of a lacy chocolate bowl, using a large ice mould.

I didn't find it as stable as using containers as the mould. Proabably because some of the

water from the ice gets between the joins of the chocolate, but it is a tecnique that

does work. So simply take your chocolate again in a zip-lock bag and start to pipe in on.

Make sure all your design joins up. You can't have gaps in it, because obviously when the

ice is gone, it needs to be able to hold itself together. So keep piping until you've got

a design that is completely joined together. Leave it for about 10minutes for the ice to

melt out a bit more, and then simply take it off the top. I had some paper towel under

the al-foil to absorb the water from the ice as it melts. And then you can fill it with

strawberries or whatever you so like for your dessert.
