Chocolate Apple Box Ingredients
Berry Gummies Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Start by melting 200 grams of tempered dark chocolate (7 ounces) in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Next, pour the melted chocolate into an apple-shaped mold. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly across the mold, ensuring all edges are coated. Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator to firm up further.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine 75 grams of berry puree (2.5 ounces) with 10 to 20 grams of sugar (0.35-0.7 ounces) based on your sweetness preference. Heat on medium until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 18 grams of gelatin (0.6 ounces) until fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to slightly cool before pouring it into small molds to create your gummies.
Place the filled molds in the freezer to set for at least an hour. Once set, carefully remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Once the chocolate apple mold has fully set and the gummies are ready, gently remove the chocolate from the mold. Be careful not to break the chocolate shell as you do this.
Fill the hollow chocolate apple with the berry gummies you prepared earlier. You can arrange them in an appealing way to make the dessert visually attractive.
Enjoy this beautiful and delicious chocolate apple box with your family and friends. It makes a perfect centerpiece for parties or a delightful treat for any occasion!

Variations
Can’t have gluten or animal products? No worries! 🌱 Here’s how to make this dessert work for you:
- Use Gluten-Free Chocolate: Opt for high-quality gluten-free chocolate to ensure everyone can enjoy. Double-check the label for gluten-free certification.
- Vegan Gelatin Substitutes: Instead of gelatin, try agar-agar or pectin for a plant-based puree set. These will give you the same results without compromising on richness.
Both variations are still delicious, visually stunning, and full of the same joyful flavors! 🥳
Faq
- Q: What type of chocolate is best for tempering?
A: Look for high-quality chocolate with a high cocoa percentage (70% or more) for the best flavor and texture!
- Q: Can I use fresh fruit instead of berry puree?
A: Absolutely! Fresh fruit can work well, but you'll need to cook it down to extract the juices.
- Q: How can I achieve a shiny finish on my chocolate?
A: Properly tempering the chocolate is key! Make sure to bring the chocolate to the right temperatures while stirring continuously.
- Q: What’s the best way to remove chocolate from molds?
A: Gently flex the silicone molds to help release the chocolate. If it’s still stuck, popping it in the freezer for a few minutes can help!
- Q: How do I store leftover jammy berries?
A: Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy them as a sweet snack or topping!
- Q: Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
A: Definitely! You can prepare the chocolate shell and jammy berries a day in advance. Just assemble before serving for a fresh presentation!
