Chocolate Shells

Crème Anglaise

Method

Preparing Chocolate Shells

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.

  2. 2

    Forming Shells

    Using a pastry brush, coat the inside of small silicone molds with the melted chocolate. Ensure an even layer. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until set.

  3. 3

    Add a Second Layer

    Remove from fridge and apply a second layer of chocolate to the molds. Return to the fridge for another 10-15 minutes until completely hardened.

  4. 4

    Unmold

    Carefully remove the chocolate shells from the molds and set aside.

Making Crème Anglaise

  1. 5

    Heat the Milk and Cream

    In a saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until just below boiling, then remove from heat.

  2. 6

    Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick.

  3. 7

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

  4. 8

    Cook the Mixture

    Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.

  5. 9

    Add Vanilla

    Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and let cool.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 10

    Fill Chocolate Shells

    Fill each chocolate shell with a mix of the raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries.

  2. 11

    Serve with Crème Anglaise

    Drizzle the cooled crème anglaise around the filled chocolate shells on a serving plate. Enjoy!
