Twistable Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients

• 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or your preferred type)
• 30g Pacific NH Pectin
• 50g sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: nuts, dried fruits, or other desired add-ins

Instructions

1. Prepare ingredients:
   • Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces for easy melting.
   • Measure out NH pectin, sugar, water, and vanilla extract.
2. Melt chocolate:
   • In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
3. Prepare NH pectin mixture:
   • In a separate small bowl, mix NH pectin and sugar until well combined.
4. Combine pectin mixture:
   • Gradually whisk the pectin-sugar mixture into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
5. Heat water:
   • In a small saucepan, heat water until it’s warm but not boiling.
6. Dissolve pectin:
   • Gradually add warm water to the chocolate mixture, stirring continuously to dissolve the NH pectin.
7. Add vanilla and optional ingredients:
   • Stir in the vanilla extract and any optional ingredients like nuts or dried fruits.
8. Cool and set:
   • Allow the mixture to cool slightly, and then transfer it to a piping bag or a plastic wrap-lined mold.
9. Shape and twist:
   • Twist the filled piping bag or mold to create a twisted pattern in the chocolate. If using a mold, you can create twists by swirling the chocolate with a toothpick.
10. Chill:
    • Place the shaped chocolate in the refrigerator to set completely. This may take a few hours.
11. Enjoy:
    • Once set, your twistable chocolate is ready to be enjoyed! Break it into pieces or serve it as a unique treat.
