Halloween Recipe: Melting White Chocolate Skull Bombe

BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW, **THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS.

READ MY FULL DISCLOSURE HERE.

This recipe is easily one of my favorites as it satisfies two of my favorite deadly sins: sloth and gluttony.

Sloth because it’s so much easier than it looks and gluttony because it’s just so…damn…delicious…

(Play it again, I know you want to)

I mean, come on…look at how sexy that is.  Hnnnnngggg.  Damn.  Yeah.

To make your own you will need:

• 1 skull mold.  I got mine here.
• 1 chocolate cupcake (I used the cake mix I made for my Death by Chocolate cake here and added in extra black dutch chocolate to give it that deep dark look)
• 1 scoop raspberry sorbet
• 1 cup white chocolate candy melts
• 1 cup hot fudge sauce
• Fresh raspberries
• Cocoa powder
• Vodka

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your white chocolate candy melts by first zapping them for 30 seconds.  Stir and then continue to microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each burst until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Fill both sides of your chocolate mold with white chocolate and tilt to fully coat the sides.

Turn your molds over on top of waxed paper and allow to drain for 5 minutes.

Place into the freezer and allow to firm up.

While your chocolate is firming up, remove your cupcake from its paper wrapper and cut the top off, creating a flat surface.

When your chocolate is completely set, gently remove both halves of your chocolate skull from your mold.  

Using more melted white chocolate, glue the two halves together, creating a full skull.

Using a bit more of your melted white chocolate, secure your cupcake to the center of your plate (this will make assembly easier later.)

Using a hot pan, gently melt the bottom of your skull off.  You want to reveal a hole that is large enough for your skull to fit over your cupcake comfortably.

Now that the bottom of your skull is melted, let’s age it a bit.  Using your vodka and cocoa powder, brush a wash of brown over your entire skull.

Go over this again with a paper towel dampened with more vodka, adding cocoa powder and rubbing gently until the skull is aged to your satisfaction.

Time for assembly!

Place a scoop of raspberry sorbet on top of your cupcake.

Gently place your skull down on top of your sorbet and cupcake.

Decorate your plate with your fresh raspberries.

To serve, microwave your fudge topping until it is hot, hot hot!

Drizzle slowly over your skull, focusing on the top.

As you pour, the hot fudge should melt your white chocolate, revealing the raspberry sorbet and cupcake inside.

Mmm…doesn’t this look gorgeous?

I mean, really…this dessert is guaranteed to convince anyone you serve it to that you spent hours in the kitchen slaving away…

…but don’t worry, I won’t tell them how easy this project actually is.

Oh, and of course I’m putting that video into this tutorial twice.  It’s just that awesome.

It’s a damn sexy video.

Bone appetite!
