Number Of Ingredients 1

Dark or milk chocolate

Steps:

  • Freeze a large marble slab overnight.
  • Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
  • Ladle a small amount of melted chocolate onto the frozen marble. Working quickly, use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate across the marble into one thin layer. Once smooth, use a knife to cut the chocolate to the desired width. Using the offset spatula, peel the chocolate strip from the marble. The chocolate may then be wrapped around the perimeter of a cake as a decorative element.
