Chocolate Ganpati

Methods

• Take melted chocolate in a mixing bowl, add corn syrup and mix well till the mixture comes together and becomes like a dough. Set aside to rest for 1 hour.
• Divide the chocolate into various portions and shape them into different parts of Ganpati – body, feet, stomach, head with the trunk, ears, mukut and hands. Bring together the full idol by sticking the different parts with the help of hot water. Refrigerate till fully set.
• Dip a carving knife in a bowl of warm water and start carving the idol to finish. Keep dipping the knife and brush off the excess chocolate and use hot water to retain the shapes.
• Place the idol on a serving plate, dust it with edible colourful dusts. Decorate with a flower and chocolate mango modak.
• Use as required.
