Extravagant delicacy has long been a hero of anecdotes, but to implement the recipe in the life of the hostess was decided for a long time and the reasons for that can be easily understood. Despite the fact that this combination may seem strange to most, in fact it is obvious that fat, which has a neutral taste, can be in harmony with a lot of ingredients that at first glance seem incompatible. Chocolate is one of them.
Fat in chocolate - recipe
Let's start with the simplest and most obvious recipe, for which fresh fat is cut as thinly as possible and dipped into melted chocolate . After solidifying the chocolate layer, you can start tasting.
The list of ingredients is limited to only two items: lard and chocolate, while the chocolate itself should be black, with a cocoa content of at least 70%. You can supplement the chocolate with a pinch of salt, ground pepper, cardamom and other spices.
Chocolate tile break and melt in a water bath or in microwave. Cut the fresh fat into slices as thin as possible. Putting on a fork one by one, dip the lard into melted chocolate and lay it on the grate. Send the "candy" to the freezer, waiting for the full hardening of the chocolate.
Smoked bacon in chocolate
For the recipe you can take aromatic smoked bacon , especially the brisket, which is then fried until crunchy and covered with chocolate. The snack is sweet outside and salty, crunchy inside.
Ingredients:
- smoked pork belly - 130 g;
- chocolate - 180 g.
Preparation
Cut the brisket into thin plates and fry in a dry and well-heated frying pan until blubber. Ready ruddy and crispy bacon put on paper napkins and leave excess fat to absorb. Dip strips of crispy bacon into melted chocolate and lay on parchment. The finished treat is cooled and served after the chocolate has solidified.
Sweets with bacon
If you want to completely mislead others, then give candies from fat form of the usual chocolate sweets. To do this, slice the fresh or salted fat with a blender in pasta and divide into portions. Portions of the finished pasta can be rolled into balls, and you can put it in figured forms. After, the fat is placed in the freezer until it is completely solidified. The molded paste is laid out on a grate and poured with melted chocolate. As soon as the chocolate grips - the candy is ready.
Sweets "Fat in chocolate"
To diversify the recipe for this original delicacy, you can change not only the type of chocolate you use, but also the fat itself: fresh, with a meat layer, salted or smoked - it will be equally delicious. In addition, for texture diversity, we decided to add crushed nuts to the fat, but this step is optional.
Ingredients:
- black chocolate - 145 g;
- salted bacon - 45 g;
- butter - 35 g;
- ground cardamom, ginger, pepper - a pinch;
- walnuts - 15 g.
Preparation
Chop the salted lard with nuts, roll the mass into a bundle and put it in the freezer. After completely cooling the fat, place a container of butter and black chocolate over a water bath and wait for it to melt. Part of the melted chocolate is poured into the mold, and from above place the frozen fat. Spread the remaining chocolate on top and leave a treat in the freezer. When the chocolate cools, cut the bar into portions and take the sample.
