Recipe Ingredients
- 250 grams chocolate, melted
- 30 grams pomegranate seeds
- 30 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios, walnuts, or hazelnuts), roughly chopped
- Optional: a pinch of sea salt or a dusting of edible gold flakes for decoration
Methods
1. Prepare the Topping
Start by chopping 30 grams of nuts and set them aside.
Pat the pomegranate seeds dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture.
2. Melt the Chocolate
Chop 250 grams of chocolate into small pieces. Melt it in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals (15-20 seconds), stirring between intervals, until smooth.
3. Fill the Mould
Pour the melted chocolate into the silicone mould, filling each rectangle less than halfway. Gently tap the mould on the work surface to smooth the chocolate and remove any air bubbles.
4. Add the Toppings
Spread pomegranate seeds and chopped nuts over the melted chocolate. Press lightly to make them stick. If desired, add a pinch of sea salt or a decorative touch like gold flakes.
5. Set the Chocolate
Place the mould in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely set.
6. Serve
Carefully remove the chocolates from the silicone mould. Serve them immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the pomegranate seeds fresh.
Tips for Perfect Chocolate Pomegranate Nut Bites
Here are some tips to make your Chocolate Pomegranate Nut Bites even more delicious:
Good Quality Chocolate: Use good quality chocolate for the bites. The better the chocolate, the better your Chocolate Pomegranate Nut Bites will be!
Contrast: For a vibrant contrast, experiment with white or ruby chocolate.
Tempered Chocolate: Use tempered chocolate for a glossy finish and crisp texture if serving for special occasions.
Variations
Here are some delicious variations you can try with your chocolate and toppings:
Fruit and Seed Delight: Top the bites with dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. The tart cranberries and crunchy seeds form a nice contrast to the chocolate.
Tropical Twist: Spread chopped dried mango, toasted coconut flakes, and a pinch of lime zest over the chocolate. Coconut and mango pair beautifully with dark chocolate or milk chocolate for a tropical flavour.
White Chocolate Berry Bliss: Use white chocolate as a base and top it with freeze-dried raspberries, chopped pistachios and a drizzle of dark chocolate for contrast. This version looks stunning with its bright colours.
