Harry Potter Chocolate Frogs

Step 01

Thoroughly wash and dry your frog mold to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.

Step 02

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 15-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.

Step 03

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of chocolate into each frog cavity and use the back of a spoon or a small brush to coat the mold completely. Tap the mold gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Remove excess chocolate from the centre if needed to make room for the filling.

Step 04

Clean up the mold edges using a clean fingertip or paper towel. Place the mold in the freezer for about 15 minutes to set.

Step 05

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the brown sugar, salt and vanilla and mix until combined. Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.

Step 06

Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped). Add the blackberry jam to a separate piping bag.

Step 07

Remove the set chocolate frogs from the freezer. Pipe about ¾ teaspoon of jam into each cavity, followed by 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling. Use a small butter knife or offset spatula to gently smooth the filling if needed. Leave room at the top to seal with chocolate.

Step 08

Cover the filling with the remaining melted chocolate, smoothing the tops and tapping the mold again to remove any bubbles.

Step 09

Clean the edges carefully for a neat finish. Return the mold to the freezer and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until completely firm.

Step 10

Once set, carefully pop the frogs out of the mold. If any are sticking, freeze for a few more minutes and try again.

Step 11

Store in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
