Edible Chocolate Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• Place cookie dough in a medium bowl and add the flour. Mix until the flour is incorporated. The extra flour will help keep the cookie from running off of the bowl.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and wrap an ovenproof bowl in foil. Spray with nonstick spray and press the cookie dough onto the bowl until it is completely covered.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes with the bowl facing down. Once it has cooled, flip over, remove the ovenproof bowl, and allow the cookie to finish cooling.
• Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate chips with the coconut oil for 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds, until the chocolate has fully melted.
• Pour the melted chocolate into the cookie bowl and spread it around until the inside of the bowl is fully covered, pouring the excess chocolate out. Freeze for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
• Fill with vanilla and chocolate ice cream, banana, strawberries, and whipped cream.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• ADDITIONAL MATERIALS: 2 small bowls, sharp pin.
• Blow up small balloons, about 6 inches in diameter.
• Prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper on it for the bowls to freeze on.
• Melt chocolate or candy in a microwavable bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each until the chocolate is smooth.
• Hold each balloon by the knot and dip straight down into the bowl of chocolate, pushing it down until the chocolate has gone up the sides as far as you want it to.
• Lift the balloon straight up, allow the excess chocolate to drip off for a few seconds, without shaking.
• Immediately add sprinkles to the bowls by tossing them onto the chocolate.
• Set the balloons down onto parchment-lined sheet and freeze for about 2 minutes, depending on the kind of chocolate used.
• Once the chocolate has hardened, remove balloons from the freezer and use a pin to pop them.
• Peel the plastic away from the balloon, slowly if it's sticking.
• Fill with ice cream and desired toppings!

Steps:

• It is very important to have a chocolate thermometer -- something that goes below 100 degrees!
• Blow up balloons to desired size, make a knot in the top, and set aside.
• Place 2/3 of the chocolate in the top of a double boiler.
• Do not boil the water, or even have it on simmer, just keep it hot.
• Stir the chocolate every few minutes.
• The chocolate temperature needs to rise above 105 degrees, but keep in mind, it may burn at 200.
• When the chocolate has melted, remove from heat.
• Stir in remaining chocolate.
• Stir again, and when all has melted, return top of double boiler to bottom.
• Regulate heat to maintain a chocolate temperature of 88-90 degrees.
• Spoon 1/2 teaspoon or less of chocolate onto the parchment, making sure you allow space for each bowl, this will form discs for the bowls to "land" on.
• Dip the balloons, one at a time in the chocolate, covering as much as you want the bowl to be.
• Place each on the individual discs.
• When they are cool and hardened, make a tiny hole below the knot to SLOWLY release the air.
• In my experience, the balloon still sticks to the chocolate, and I was not able to "peel it away". What I have done, is to make a tiny slit, just below the knot, and pour a tiny amount of tepid water into the balloon. The balloon suddenly, but cleanly, releases.
• Any repairs, can be made with more warm, tempered chocolate.
• Set aside in a cool dry place until you are ready to use them. They do not need to be refrigerated. I put mine in the guest bedroom on the dresser, away from Lizzie Borden (the cat).
