Chocolate Piñata Ingredients
Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chocolate Shell
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Pour about half of it into a balloon that has been blown up to a suitable size for a piñata. Swirl the chocolate around to coat the inside of the balloon, ensuring even coverage. Place the balloon in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.

Create the Piñata
Once the first layer of chocolate is set, repeat the melting and coating process with the remaining chocolate to create a thicker shell. Chill again for at least 30 minutes. Once set, carefully pop the balloon and remove it, leaving a hollow chocolate shell.

Fill the Piñata
Fill the chocolate shell with churros (cut into smaller pieces), fresh strawberries, sliced bananas, and blueberries.
- 4
Serve
Place the filled chocolate piñata on a serving platter. Provide a mallet or a stick to smash it open. Serve with dipping sauces on the side for extra sweetness.
