Blueberry Chocolate

Ingredients

Method

• In a pan add blueberries, sugar and water. Mix well in medium flame.
  
• Add nutmeg powder (optional) to get a nice flavour
  
• Cook for 5 mins you will notice the blueberries will start oozing out its colour
  
• At this stage add 1/2 tsp Cornflour so as to thicken up the solution
  
• Mix well and cook for 10 mins or until it forms a syrup like consistency
  
• Switch off the flame and let it cool for 10 mins
• After 10 mins you will notice the syrup will turns more thicker
• You can store this sauce in a airtight jar for about 15-20 days
  

• Now let’s start preparing chocolate. Cut the chocolate bar into pieces and place it in a thick bottom glass or metal bowl.
  
• With a double boiler, bring some water to a simmer in a pot and then fit the glass or metal bowl over the top of the pot. The steam from the simmering water will heat the chocolates in the bowl.
  
• Switch off the flame once the chocolate is completely melted and turns smooth and shiny
  

• Now pour the mixture in a mold. Pour a spoonful into each spot. Tap the mold firmly on the table to release any air bubbles in the chocolate.
  
• Invert the mold on the bowl and tap it until it forms the outer layer/crust of the chocolate (watch video for process)
  
• Place it in the fridge for 10 mins till they become little hard. Until then repeat the same process with other mold
  
• Take out the mold from the fridge and pour in 1/2 tsp of prepared blueberry sauce in each spot of the mold. Just ensure not to overfill it.
  
• Pour a little more melted chocolate over the top of each spot in the mold to seal it and tap again to smooth out the chocolate
  
• Set the chocolates in the fridge to firm up the chocolate. 
  
  
  
  
• When the chocolate is completely set, release it from the mold by pressing upwards on the bottom of each mold.
  
  
  
  
• Take the pieces out and munch away!
  

Note/Tips

• Try to use a deeper mold, it will be easy to fill in the sauce and will also fetch good results
• You can use any chocolate (dark, milk etc) of your choice
• If blueberry is not readily available you can use any berries or nuts (like almond or peanuts) of your choice
• It took 5 hours for me to set the chocolate. It may vary accordingly.
• Total time does not include cooling time for the chocolates.
