Soft Chocolate

Step 1

Begin by preparing your mise en place.

In a food storage container or other vessel large enough to hold the water, dissolve the kappa carrageenan into the water using an immersion blender. Set aside.

Step 2

In a double boiler, add the dark chocolate and start melting slowly. Stir constantly to avoid burning the chocolate; monitor the heat level so the chocolate doesn't heat too quickly and burn.

Step 3

In a medium stockpot, add the heavy cream and sugar. Heat slowly over low heat while whisking to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved completely, bring the mixture to a boil. When mixture comes to a boil, add the melted dark chocolate slowly to the pot while stirring constantly, creating a smooth, even mixture.

Step 4

Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and add the water mixture (kappa and water) to the chocolate. Whisk constantly and return to a boil.

Place soft chocolate into the desired mold and refrigerate until set enough to serve.

Step 5

Plate soft black chocolate as desired and enjoy!
