Steps In Making Chocolate Modak
- Melt the chocolate using double boiler method. Take a vessel and fill 1/3 of it with water, put it on medium flame. Now place a large bowl on it, make sure it doesn’t touch the water.
- In it add chopped chocolate and keep stirring it continuously till it melts. Now let it cool down for 5-7 minutes.
- For the chocolate filling, take a bowl and add freshly grated coconut, chopped almonds, chopped cashews and condensed milk and mix till well combined.
- In a piping bag pour the melted chocolate. Now cut the tip of the piping bag with scissors and fill the modak moulds till half.
- Now add some coconut stuffing in the centre of every mould and above that put more melted chocolate and fill it till the top.
- Tap the mould 3-4 times to remove any air bubbles.
- Similarly fill the second mould with chocolate and add nutella in the centre instead of coconut filling.
- Let the chocolate moulds set in the refrigerator for upto 10 minutes or until firm.
- Gently remove the chocolate from the moulds by pressing the chocolate outside.
- Store it in the refrigerator for upto 2 weeks.
Recipe Notes
- I am using compound chocolate, if you are using regular chocolate then it needs to be tempered before using.
- Chocolate can be melted using a microwave too.
- Instead of nutella, you can use any filling like peanut butter or jam.
- A combination of dark and milk chocolate also tastes great.
