Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is completely flat and smooth.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Chop the dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
- Slowly melt the chocolate in the double boiler, stirring gently with a spatula until completely smooth and glossy.
- Remove the melted chocolate from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Stir the curry powder into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it into an even, thin layer approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Immediately sprinkle the chopped pistachios and shredded coconut evenly over the melted chocolate.
- Gently press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they adhere.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is completely set.
- Once hardened, break or cut the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for the most intense flavor profile.
- Ensure your chocolate melts slowly and smoothly by using a double boiler method to prevent burning.
- Let the chocolate cool slightly before adding curry powder to preserve its delicate flavor notes.
- Use a spatula with a smooth edge for an even chocolate spread.
- Press toppings gently into the chocolate to ensure they stick without sinking too deep.
- Chill the bark completely before breaking to get clean, crisp edges.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain the chocolate's texture and prevent melting.
- For a more intense curry flavor, consider toasting the curry powder briefly before adding to the chocolate.
