Description

How to Make White Hot Chocolate Bombs: Large white chocolate spheres filled with sweet cocoa powder and marshmallows for your indulgent hot chocolate (makes 6 large bombs).


Ingredients

  • 270 g (9.5 oz) white chocolate
  • 1-2 tbsp sweetened cocoa powder (per bomb)
  • Marshmallows
  • Sugar decorations

Instructions

Temper the White Chocolate:

  1. Finely chop the white chocolate.
  2. Melt it gently using a double boiler or in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring regularly to prevent burning. The temperature should reach 40-45°C (104-113°F).
  3. Let the chocolate cool to 26-27°C (79-81°F), stirring frequently.
  4. Then, slightly reheat the chocolate to 28-30°C (82-86°F) to temper it.

Form the Shells:

  1. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, apply a layer of chocolate into the cavities of a silicone mold. Ensure the layer is even and covers the edges.
  2. Let it harden at room temperature or in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Apply a second layer to strengthen the shells, then let it harden again.

Unmold the Shells:

  1. Once fully hardened, gently unmold the chocolate shells.
  2. Place them on a clean surface and separate them into two groups: one half for the base and the other for the top to close the bombs.

Fill the Shells:

  1. Fill each bottom shell with 1-2 tablespoons of sweetened cocoa powder, mini marshmallows, and any other fillings you like (candies, spices, etc.).

Seal the Bombs:

  1. Heat a plate in the microwave for 1 minute.
  2. Place the edge of the top shell on the warm plate for a few seconds to slightly melt the chocolate.
  3. Immediately assemble with a filled shell, gently pressing to seal.
  4. If needed, smooth the seam with your finger.

Decorate the Bombs:

  1. Using a piping bag or spoon, decorate the top of the bombs with melted chocolate.
  2. Sprinkle immediately with sugar pearls, candy bits, or festive decorations.

Notes

Storage: Store the bombs in an airtight container, away from moisture, for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Temper the chocolate well to get solid, glossy shells.
  • Strengthen the shells with a second layer of chocolate to prevent them from cracking.
  • Add fillings sparingly to keep the shells easy to close.
  • Seal precisely: Heat the edges just enough so the shells stick without melting.
  • Decorate quickly: Add the decorations before the melted chocolate hardens.
  • Test your milk: Use milk that’s hot, but not boiling, so the bombs melt slowly.
  • Prep Time: 1 hour
