Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 4 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 2 tsp melted chocolate per mini muffin cup (about 48 tsp total)
Topping
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Mini Muffin Tin: Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the pom poms.
- Add the Chocolate Base: Spoon 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into the bottom of each mini muffin cup, evenly distributing the chocolate layer.
- Add Pomegranate Seeds: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds generously on top of the melted chocolate in each cup, ensuring every bite has a burst of fruity flavor.
- Drizzle More Chocolate: Drizzle additional melted chocolate over the pomegranate seeds to encase them partially and help bind the topping to the base.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the mini muffin tin for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 days until the chocolate is completely firm and set.
- Serve: Once firm, remove the chocolate pom poms from the liners and serve chilled as a refreshing snack or elegant dessert bite.
Notes
- Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Ensure the chocolate is melted gently to avoid burning or seizing.
- Refrigerate in an airtight container if storing for more than a few hours to prevent moisture absorption.
- For variation, try using white chocolate or adding chopped nuts alongside pomegranate seeds.
- Pomegranate seeds add a juicy, tart burst that contrasts beautifully with the rich chocolate.
