Cherry-Filled Heart Chocolate
Ingredients
Preparation
-
Prepare the Chocolate: Begin by melting 14 ounces of dark chocolate until smooth and creamy using a double boiler.
-
Soak the Cherries: Drain cherries from the jar and briefly soak them in vodka to infuse them with a hint of alcohol flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the chocolates.
-
Coat the Mold: Place our 20-heart mold on a perforated baking sheet and use a brush to coat each cavity with a layer of melted chocolate. Repeat this process once more to ensure a thick, even coating.
-
Prepare the Cherry Filling: Heat cherry juice and vodka in a saucepan, then dissolve a gelatin leaf in the mixture. Allow it to cool slightly before pouring it into an ice cube tray to set.
-
Assemble the Chocolates: Place a soaked cherry in each heart cavity of the mold, then pour the remaining melted chocolate over the top to cover the cherries completely. Smooth out the surface with a spatula for a professional finish.
-
Let Them Set: Allow the chocolates to cool and set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm. Once set, carefully unmold the chocolates to reveal the beautiful heart shapes.
