This is something you MUST do at least once in your life ! :-) make your own choccolates for a special occasion. I've used an ice-tray from IKEA, heart shaped.
This is what I've used....
- 200 gr of dark choccolate
- 100 gr white choccolate
- 2 tablespoons of rhum
- 50 gr of smashed walnuts
- 80 gr of butter
Melt 120 gr of dark choccolate in bain marie ( double boiler ).
Pour the melted choccolate into each "cube" ( lets call them cubes, even though mine where hearts....you can use any-other shape! )....
Make sure you cover completely the sides of the cubes, do not fill the cubes till their top, the choccolates must be on its sides and bottom.
Place in the freezer for 30 mins.
In the meantime melt the white choccolate in bain marie, add the butter,the rhum and the walnuts.
Leave it to cool down a little.
Take your ice-tray out of the freezer.
Fill in each cube with the melted white choccolate.
NOTE: fill in almost to its top, leave a 1-2 mm gap.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
In the meantime melt 80 gr of dark choccolate in bain marie.
Take the ice-tray out of the freezer.
Cover each cube with the melted dark choccolate, use a spatula to level it.
Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
You must be very carefull when makeing your cubes pop out the tray, they are very delicate !
