Phool Surprise
Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate
- 1 balloon (inflated to a small size)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 200g cream cheese, softened
- 100g powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100g fresh blueberries
- 200ml heavy cream
Recipe:To create Chef Kunal Kapur's Phool Surprise, start by melting dark chocolate until smooth and glossy. Grease a small balloon with vegetable oil, dip it into the chocolate to coat evenly, and refrigerate it until the chocolate hardens. Once set, deflate the balloon carefully to reveal a delicate chocolate flower shell. For the cheesecake filling, blend fresh blueberries with sugar to make a puree. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy, then fold in whipped cream for a light texture. Mix in the blueberry puree for a vibrant flavor. Assemble the dessert by spooning the cheesecake filling into the chocolate flower shell and garnish with fresh blueberries, mint leaves, and a drizzle of blueberry or chocolate sauce. Serve as a stunning, delicious dessert that blends artistry with taste.
