A variety of chocolate desserts are perfectly appropriate to serve when special occasions are in order. Weddings, showers, garden parties & birthday celebrations are just a bit more elevated when these small tasting-size servings are offered to guests. The benefit of showcasing several styles is that you get to try a variety of textures ranging from custard & cake to velvety decadence & billowy mousse. Just a dollop of Chantilly Cream & shaved chocolate may be used for a simple garnish that streamlines the procedure for the hostess. Learn how to melt chocolate that may be used for any of these fine desserts & look to The Essential Guide To Chocolate for additional advice.
The Technique
Melting chocolate may be achieved quickly in the microwave with small bursts of power or on the stove top over a bain marie. A bain marie utilizes a water technique of melting the chocolate slowly. The chopped chocolate is placed in a bowl then the bowl is placed over simmering water in an effort to avoid scorching the chocolate over a direct heating method. The main point to know is that water should not come into direct contact with chocolate or it will seize & ruin so take good care in keeping steam or droplets at bay. Let individual recipes guide you in choosing the best method for the application in which it is to be used.
