Adele Hagan, a food stylist, has put together a cool series of videos with her tips and tricks for food styling.
In the video above, she shows how she makes chocolate bark, or chocolate slabs, that can be used for desserts or just served on their own.
She starts out by melting chocolate over a double boiler on the stove before pouring the chocolate over some plastic wrap on a sheet pan. I’ve never poured melted anything on plastic wrap but apparently it holds up pretty well against the heat!
She then sprinkles some chopped nuts and dried cranberries over top before drizzling melted white chocolate over it all. It looks really pretty and would go great as a gift for friends or as a fancy dessert.
She uses up the leftover melted chocolate by dipping washed and dried strawberries in it and drizzles the berries with more melted white chocolate.
She finishes up the segment by cutting up the chocolate bark with some round cookie cutters and sandwiching some chocolate mousse between the rounds. For such a quick process it really ends up being a beautiful dessert!
