Step-by-Step Instructions
- 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.
- Using a brush, coat a silicone dome mold with the melted chocolate for even coverage. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until set.
- Apply a second layer of melted chocolate to reinforce the shell, then chill for another 15 minutes until solid.
- Pour heavy cream into a medium bowl and whip until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.
- Un-mold the chocolate shells and fill each dome with the mascarpone mixture, smoothing the tops.
- Seal domes by pouring melted chocolate over filling if desired, then chill for 1 hour.
- After chilling, un-mold domes onto serving plates and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
