How to make a chocolate serving bowl

I have always fancied having a go at making a bowl out of chocolate.  I have seen ones made by dipping a balloon in chocolate  but I really didn’t like the thought of the chemicals from the balloons being in contact with the chocolate.

I decided instead to use ice to make a mould.  This would help the chocolate to set and once it melted a little would make it easy to lift the chocolate off without breaking it.

As I was having friends round for dinner, I decided to give it a go and if it worked, use it to serve strawberries in.  I wasn’t convinced that it would be a success but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

In the end, I was really pleased with how it turned out.  I have made this many times now but next time will make a few and use them to serve the desserts in for each person.

I made a video the first time I made it to give you a better idea of how to do it.  You can see it below!

To make it- all you need is chocolate, a bowl and a freezer.  I use a piping bag to drizzle the chocolate but you could use a spoon if you don’t have one!
