Magic Chocolate Ball is one of the most elegant dessert which looks so beautiful and tastes ultimately yummylicious.
The chocolate ball is made up of milk and dark chocolate and later when you serve just pour hot chocolate ganache. Hot ganache makes the chocolate ball melt to reveal the real dessert which is Rocky road brownie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Let's take a look at ingredients :

Rocky Road Brownie :
( You can make only brownie, if you don't want to add toppings )

Dry Ingredients :

- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (1/4 cup)
- All Purpose Flour (3/4 Cup)
- Powdered Sugar ( 3/4 Cup)
- A pinch of Baking Soda
- Baking Powder (1/4 Tsp)
- Sift all dry ingredients.
- Mix very well so that leaving agents are properly distributed all over the flour.

Wet Ingredients :
- Place a sauce pan and put a cup of water
- Place a larger bowl on the top. ( Water should not touch the bottom surface of the bowl )
- Oil (1 Tbsp)
- Butter (2 Tbsp)
- Dark Chocolate (1/4 cup)
- Melt until silky smooth.
- Milk (1/2 Cup)
- Add milk gradually while stirring it in.
- Cool to room temperature
- Mix dry ingredients in chocolate mix
- Use cut & fold method to mix it in using spatula.
- Add in 2 or 3 batches mixing in properly.
- In a square mould, line the base with parchment paper.
- Pour the batter
- Level it with spatula
- Pre-heat oven at 180C & bake for 25-30 min
( If you do not have oven please watch this video : https://youtu.be/Wc5PQsn_oQ0 )
- Take a skewer test before taking it out.
- Remove the brownie from the mould and place it on baking safe tray
( I realized it later that it becomes very easy to remove the brownie first and then add the toppings as the toppings are very soft and sticky it becomes a bit difficult later on )
Toppings :
- Marshmallows ( slice 2 - 3 large or 12 - 15 small )
- Milk chocolate chunks
( Milk chocolate melts quickly complimenting the time required for marshmallow)
( You can put chocolate chips, snickers or anything of you choice, I like a soft gooey chocolaty layer rather than crunchy chocolate chips as I already get crunch from dry fruits )
- Add Sliced Almonds.
( You can add peanuts, walnuts, cashews or hazelnuts )
- Put in Oven for 4 - 5 min on the highest temperature of your Oven.
- Keep an eye on marshmallows as it will darken very soon.
- Cut into squares.
( Please keep in mind that you have to place the brownie inside the ball. )

Step 2 : Chocolate Ball

- Place a sauce pan on the stove top
- Add a cup or 2 water
- Place a heatproof bowl on the top of it
- Please take care that the water underneath should not touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Dark chocolate (1/2 Cup)
( Dark chocolate makes the shape hold better )
- Milk chocolate (1/2 Cup)
( Milk chocolate makes the ball melt quickly )
- Leave it alone for 5 min
- Stir it with a spatula.
- Let it melt until its silky smooth
- Take the bowl off the heat on the counter
- Wipe the condensation off the bottom of the bowl
( Do not let even a single drop of water enter the smooth chocolate )
- Tempering of chocolate :
Dark chocolate (1/3 cup)
- Tempering will give the ball hard and shiny appearance.
- Stir it in and start mixing
- In a min or two it will start melting.
- To make a ball you need spherical mould.
- I have bought it from amazon so check this link : http://amzn.to/2wgBAHC
The total chocolate will make 2 chocolate balls
- Pour 1 - 2 tbsp chocolate in spherical mould.
- Spread the chocolate with brush or spatula.
- Tap on the surface to remove excess chocolate
- You can re melt the chocolate from parchment paper and use it again.
- Level it with a spatula
- Refrigerate for 10 min or until hard
- 2nd coat : Pour 1 tbsp more chocolate
- 2nd coad will avoid cracks and make it more sturdy.
- Spread it again with brush
- Refrigerate for another 10 min or until hard
- Carefully peel off the ball
- To make a ball, rub the surface little bit on hot skillet
- Join to hemispheres to make a ball
- Place the balls carefully until its ready to serve.
- When you are about to serve, microwave a class bowl for 1 min
( You can pour water and then microwave )
- Rub the chocolate ball on the bowl to create a cavity.
- Make a flat base and a hole in the bottom

Step 3 : Chocolate Ganache

- Cream (1/2 Cup)

- You can put it in saucepan and heat till tiny bubbles appear
- Dark Chocolate (1/3 Cup)

- Whisk until smooth

Step 4 : Assemble

- Place a scoop of ice cream on it ( I like vanilla ice cream in this dessert)
- Place the chocolate ball on the top of it

Now is the presentation time !!!!
Pour hot chocolate ganache on it
( Quick tip : wait for few seconds to give it time to melt, do not pour all at once as you do not give time to melt the ball)
- Watch the chocolate melt and create an amazing effect.
