Learn how to make these trending Smashable Chocolate Heart using just 1 ingredient. This Breakable Heart Pinata Cake is not only easy to make but so much more fun to break using a hammer and get to your surprises!!!
Add about 150 gms of melted chocolate onto your pinata mould reserving some for second coating or chocolate decorations.
Swirl the mould in all directions in order to coat the mould completely with the melted white chocolate.
Turn the mould onto a bowl to drip off the excess chocolate. Clean the edges and allow it to set in the refrigerator for 5 mins.
After the first coating, do a second coating only on places where you find the chocolate to be thinner using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.
Allow this to set for another 5 -8 mins.
Once set, release the edges first and then place the mould onto a flat surface and pull it towards you to release completely.
Decorate the mould as and how you like.
How to Serve the Heart Pinata Cake?
Place a wooden serving board or a cake board if making for clients.
Top it with the fillings of your choice.
Enclose the fillings using the prepared chocolate mould and place a hammer on the side. Do tie a ribbon on the hammer to make it special.

Notes
I am using Compound White Chocolate here. You can use couverture too but make sure to temper it beforehand.
Chocolate is really sensitive to handle. So be gentle or it might break while demoulding. If it breaks simply re-melt the chocolate and follow the steps again until you get the perfect mould.
Instead of decorating the mould with chocolate flower you can simply use sprinkles to decorate it and reduce your work :D
If you are going to colour your white chocolate then only use gel food colour in minimal quantity and also add 2-3 drops of oil so that the chocolate doesn't seize.
Use gentle hands and release the chocolate around the edges first before attempting to demould it completely.
