Ingredients for Beautiful Chocolate Disks With Seeds And Fruits

  • Semi Sweet Chocolate
  • 4 ounces milk chocolate
  • Cinnamon
  • Ginger
  • Nutmeg
  • Chili Powder
  • Dried Cranberries
  • Poppy Seed
  • Sunflower Seeds
  • Vanilla Baking Chips

How to Make Beautiful Chocolate Disks With Seeds And Fruits

  1. Melt 6 ounces of dark chocolate and 4 ounces of milk chocolate in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth.
  2. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg until evenly distributed.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet for each disk.
  4. Use a spatula to gently spread each drop into a thin, even disk. Don't make them too thin, or they may not hold the toppings.
  5. Sprinkle each disk with 1/4 teaspoon dried cranberries, 1/8 teaspoon poppy seeds, and 1/8 teaspoon sunflower seeds.
  6. Top with 1/4 teaspoon crushed vanilla baking chips. (Alternatively, see step 8 for a melted vanilla chip variation.)
  7. For a swirl design (optional): Melt 1 ounce dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of cream. Dot the melted mixture onto dark chocolate disks and swirl with a toothpick.
  8. If desired, use colored sprinkles instead of, or in addition to, the other toppings.
  9. Refrigerate the baking sheet for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate disks are completely hardened.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
