Chocolate Hearts Recipe

A Perfect Recipe for Chocolate Week

Ingredients
200g Good quality chocolate – at least 50% cocoa solids

Mukhwas – available from Indian grocery shops

Makes approximately 10 hearts.

Equipment:

Saucepan, hot water, heat proof bowl, spatula, heart-shaped moulds

Method:

1.       Place the heart shaped moulds onto a clean tray ready for use.

2.       Bring some water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan that is the right size for the heatproof bowl to sit in the rim without the bottom of the bowl touching the water. 

3.       Place the chocolate in the bowl and melt over the gentle heat, stirring to avoid it sticking and burning on the bottom of the bowl.

4.       Once the chocolate has melted, pour into the mould ensuring the chocolate reaches the edges.

5.       Sprinkle a small pinch of mukhwas into the centre of the heart – it will sink slightly but will set into the chocolate.

6.       Chill for 45 minutes until set and give away to those closest to you and deserved of your chocolate heart!
