Instructions

1 Temper Chocolate

Melt chocolate to 115°F, cool to 82°F, then warm to 88-90°F. This tempering creates shiny, snappy chocolate shells.

2 Create Spheres

Using sphere molds, coat with tempered chocolate. Let set. Apply second coat for strength. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.

3 Prepare Filling

Whip cream with sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks. Fold in crushed chocolate cookie or brownie pieces if desired.

4 Assemble

Carefully unmold chocolate hemispheres. Fill one half with mousse. "Glue" halves together with melted chocolate. Decorate with gold leaf.

5 Plate & Serve

Create berry coulis swoosh on plate. Place sphere. Garnish with fresh berries, pistachios, and edible flowers. At table, pour warm chocolate sauce over sphere to "melt" it open dramatically!

Pro Tips

Make spheres a day ahead and store in cool, dry place. The dramatic pour at the table is optional but impressive. Use any flavor mousse inside - raspberry, coffee, or mint work beautifully.
