Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups pomegranate seeds
- 5.25 ounces (150 grams) high-quality dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Evenly distribute a single layer of pomegranate seeds across 12 muffin cups to create the foundation of your chocolate bites.
- Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short bursts and stirring frequently to prevent burning and achieve a smooth consistency.
- Prepare the piping bag: Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag, then carefully snip off a small portion of the tip to allow a fine stream of chocolate for precise piping.
- Layer the ingredients: Pipe a crisscross pattern of chocolate over the first layer of pomegranate seeds, then add a second layer of seeds, followed by more chocolate, and finally top with the last layer of pomegranate seeds to build your multilayered bites.
- Add sea salt: Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each assembled pomegranate chocolate bite to enhance and balance the flavors.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the bites for at least one hour to allow the chocolate to fully set before serving. Serve immediately after removing from the refrigerator for optimal texture and taste.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao for the best flavor and health benefits.
- Ensure pomegranate seeds are dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing during melting.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust sea salt to taste depending on the type of salt used and personal preference.
- These bites make an elegant, healthy dessert or snack, perfect for entertaining or gifting.
