Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt using a double boiler or microwave on low heat until smooth and glossy.
  2. Using a brush, coat a silicone dome mold with the melted chocolate for even coverage. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until set.
  3. Apply a second layer of melted chocolate to reinforce the shell, then chill for another 15 minutes until solid.
  4. Pour heavy cream into a medium bowl and whip until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.
  7. Un-mold the chocolate shells and fill each dome with the mascarpone mixture, smoothing the tops.
  8. Seal domes by pouring melted chocolate over filling if desired, then chill for 1 hour.
