These are really cool, they are bite sized and creative- Happy Baking! Remember: always keep a large bowl of ice cold water nearby with making caramel for if it touches your skin- plunge it into it the bowl to prevent blistering.
Ingredients:
200g dark chocolate 70% coco solids
150g granulated sugar
3 tbsp cold water
75g unsalted butter
1/4 tsp sea salt flakes
4 tbsp double cream
Method :
1. Melt 2/3 of the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, then take off the heat and wrap the bowl in a tea-towel to stop it cooling too quickly- then stir in the rest of the chocolate until it has all melted together. Then take a silicon case mould, and then with a flat brush paintbrush coat the moulds in chocolate, starting from the base then making sure the sides are coated as well.Then put these into the fridge and after about 10 minutes coat them again in chocolate. Put in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes.
2. Flex the mould so that your chocolate cups come out- I placed mine on a plate then put them back in the fridge to keep the cool, meanwhile make the caramel.
3. Place the sugar and the cold water in a small heavy based sauce pan. Heat gently stirring all the time with a wooden spoon, until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is clear. Bring the mixture to the boil, without stirring until the syrup has turned into a deep rich caramel colour.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and leave to cool for a few minutes Then carefully stir in the butter and half the salt. The mixture should bubble up. Continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the butter has all melted.
5. Using a balloon whisk, gradually whisk the double cream into the caramel and keep whisking until you have a glossy sauce.
6. Put the caramel into a small heat proof bowl, and put in the other half of the salt then leave for about an hour until cold, stirring occasionally with a metal spoon. Then when the caramel has cooled take the cups from the fridge and put near the caramel.
7. Using a teaspoon spoon the caramel into each cup- you may need another teaspoon to nudge it into the cups.
Enjoy!
