Equipment

  • 6-inch fillable ornament, you can find these at craft and baking stores
  • Mixing bowls
  • Microwave
  • Paper towel
  • Large plate for plating

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces of chopped milk chocolate about 225 grams. (you can also use chips if you want)
  • 2 pcs of brownies
  • 1/2 cup of assorted berries about 90 grams per serving.
  • Ice cream for serving
  • 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate about 225 grams
  • 1 cup of heavy cream about 240 ml

Instructions 

  • Place your chopped milk chocolate inside a glass bowl. Then, ensure to melt the milk chocolate inside your microwave in 20-second intervals. And stir it using a rubber spatula until it becomes smooth.
  • Afterward, open your fillable ornament. And coat the inside using a lightly oiled paper towel. Then, make sure to pour the melted chocolate into one of the halves. And close the ornament. After that, rotate the ornament ball to coat it with chocolate evenly. Also, ensure to rotate until you coated the entire surface with chocolate.
  • Next, continue to rotate slowly for about five minutes. With that, you can shake it a bit to fill any holes with chocolate. Remember, you can place the ball inside the freezer if you fill the ornament ball with chocolate. Besides, you can flip the ornament with chocolate after two minutes. Afterward, continue to flip every two minutes about two to three times until the chocolate will set. Once set, freeze it for thirty minutes.
  • After thirty minutes, ensure to remove the ornament ball from the freezer. Then, carefully open the ornament. And remove the chocolate ball. Bear in mind that you have to work quickly. Doing this prevents you from touching the ball too long with your warm hands. You may also place the chocolate ball inside the freezer after unmolding for a few minutes.
  • Then, dip a flat-bottomed bowl in boiling water. After that, dry the entire bowl. Afterward, invert your flat-bottomed bowl on a flat surface. And carefully place one side of your frozen chocolate ball in the hot bowl.
  • Twist gently with a back and forth motion. Doing this ensures that you are not applying too much pressure to your chocolate ball. Be gentle as possible as the chocolate ball tends to be very fragile. Utilize a paper towel to help insulate the ball from the warmth of your fingers. Reheat and wipe off the bowl a few times as needed, as the bowl may cool down a bit. Once done, place your chocolate ball back inside the freezer.
  • Next, prepare your large plate. And stack your prepared brownies on top of each other. With that, surround your brownies with the berries of your choice.
  • Afterward, place a scoop of ice cream on top of the brownies. And gently place the chocolate ball, covering your brownies, berries, and ice cream.
  • Then, if there are imperfections along the chocolate ball's seam, you may cover the chocolate's base with more berries.
  • After that, place your chopped dark chocolate in a microwavable bowl. And add your heavy cream. Then, microwave your dark chocolate mixture in 20-second intervals until it becomes smooth and glossy.
  • Next, pour your chocolate sauce over the ball in a circular motion to melt your chocolate ball. As a result, revealing your brownie, ice cream, and berries.
  • Finally, taste and enjoy!

Notes

First and foremost, when handling or working with chocolate, ensure that your ornament, utensils, and bowl is completely dry. 
Moreover, avoid covering your microwaveable bowl when melting chocolate. For that reason, covering or putting a lid in your bowl may cause condensation. As a result, it will ruin your chocolate or cause seizing.
Furthermore, avoid using a wooden spoon to mix because wood can retain moisture that may ruin your chocolate mixture.
