Harry Potter Chocolate Frogs Recipe
Recreate the famous Harry Potter chocolate frogs. There's no cooking involved and this recipe is super-easy and fun. Perfect for Halloween or movie night.
Servings: 16 frogs
Equipment
- Pastry Bag or Piping Bag
Ingredients
- 2 Ounces cream cheese
- 6 Ounces chocolate chips dark or semisweet
- ½ Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ Cup jam blackberry
- ½ Cup Cool Whip
- 1/8 Teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Wash and dry the frog molds.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
- Add about a teaspoon of the chocolate to each frog mold. Spread the chocolate around until the frogs are coated. Tap the bottom of each mold on the countertop to get rid of any air bubbles. Remove any excess chocolate from the centers if necessary to make sure there’s enough space for the frog filling.
- Wipe the edges of the frogs to remove excess chocolate and set the tray in the freezer to cool.
- Meanwhile, whip the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add the brown sugar, salt and vanilla. Whip again and add the Cool Whip to the mixture when it’s smooth. Continue to mix until combined.
- Put the cream cheese mixture in one piping bag and the blackberry jam in another.
- Take the chocolate frogs out of the freezer once set.
- Pipe about ¾ tablespoon of blackberry jam into the bottom of each frog. Pipe about a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture on top and smooth the cream cheese with a butter knife if necessary. Make sure you leave enough space above the cream cheese mixture so the chocolate can cover it without the mold overflowing.
- Now, spoon more melted chocolate over the top of the cream cheese mixture and spread it around. Tap the mold on the countertop to get rid of any bubbles in the chocolate.
- With a paper towel or clean finger, wipe around the outer edges of the frogs to get rid of any excess chocolate. The cleaner the edges are now, the better the frogs will come out.
- Put the frogs back into the freezer to let them harden.
- After about half an hour you can unmold them; the frogs should pop out easily when turned upside down. If they won’t, put them back in the freezer for a little longer.
- Serve right away or keep them in a single layer in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
No piping bag? Use a Ziploc bag and snip the corner off. It's still simpler than trying to spoon the fillings into the frogs.
Wipe the edges: It's important to wipe the excess chocolate off the edges of each frog mold before chilling. Clean edges look so much better when they're served.
Don't forget the napkins: They're not super-messy to eat but when you combine small kids with anything chocolate, it's sure to get on their faces and fingers!
