FANCY A DOME?

Ooey, gooey, flowing desserts are all the rage now, but you haven’t tried the best of them all till you’ve had a chocolate dome dessert. Hot chocolate sauce is poured all over a chocolate sphere, which melts instantly to reveal a delightful core of cakes, ice cream and other sweet treats. Chocolate domes are available in Singapore at Opus Bar & Grill and Henri Charpentier, but you can also make it yourself by following these steps:

1 Melt some chocolate into a bowl and dip an inflated balloon into the melted chocolate.

2 Leave the chocolate-covered balloon in the fridge to set.

3 Once the chocolate has set, pop the balloon to retrieve your chocolate dome.

4 Stack sweet treats as desired and cover with chocolate dome. Pour hot chocolate sauce over it and voila, your very own chocolate dome!
