Yes, chocolate has a low water content so they should freeze really well and without issues. Just pop them into an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 1 year. Though freezing your chocolate will make it very hard, so you’ll need to follow the steps below before serving. What is the best way to defrost chocolate hearts? Your chocolate hearts won’t need to defrost, as there’s little water to freeze. However, the cold temperature will cause the cocoa butter/fat in the chocolate to become very hard. So it’s best to take the container out of the freezer and leave it on the counter for at least one hour before serving. Can I make this recipe in a different mould? If you decide to top your chocolate hearts with crushed nuts (like pistachio or hazelnut), then you could very briefly blitz them in a food processor to break them into pieces. How can I make sure my chocolate hearts turn out perfectly?

If your butter is too hard ( we always forget to take it out of the fridge in time), pop it in the microwave for a few seconds before you add it (do it for long enough to soften but no so long that it starts to melt). Vanilla Glaze: This pink-tinted vanilla glaze sets on top of the baked donuts after a few hours. It’s made with melted butter for extra flavor and richness. You can tint the glaze any color you like, so these would be fun for themed bridal or baby showers, too. Or you can use the topping from my strawberry frosted donuts instead! Double Batch: Instead of doubling the recipe, make two batches. I find it’s easy to overmix when working with a double batch in 1 bowl. Overmixing may lead to too-dense donuts. Nuts. If you have any nuts to hand then chop them up to a reasonable size and throw them in either as a topping or evenly spread throughout the chocolate. Candied nuts also work for an extra, extra special treat. Looking for shortcuts?

Pregnant people are more sensitive to changes in their blood sugar. Some pregnant people can even develop gestational diabetes related to sugar intake. So these chocolate hearts are best enjoyed in moderation. You could make a double boiler. To do so, just fill a small pot with about 1/3 of the way with water and heat over medium low heat. The water will steam, but not boil. Then you set a bowl with the chocolate on top of the pot so the bottom of the bowl rests inside the pot but does not touch the bottom. Then, you wait and stir and wait and stir. Eventually melted chocolate. This is the way purists do it. Add the vanilla extract. Your kids can hold the measuring spoon while you pour it in, or vice versa. Or older children might be able to do both themselves.

Spoon the batter into the donut cavities– I highly recommend using a large zipped-top bag for ease. Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup, filling only 1/2 to 2/3 full. If baking hearts, do not fill up too much or the donuts won’t have a hole in the center (they’ll puff up too much). If you are using an American-style buttercream (made with powdered sugar + butter or shortening), you will want to work in batches of 2-3 cupcakes at a time, so the frosting does not form a crust before you put the sprinkles on. Different shapes: any small cookie cutter should work for this. I recommend keeping the shapes fairly simple–extremely detailed shapes might not come out clearly with sprinkles. Muffins: You can make this recipe into 8-10 muffins using a muffin pan. Bake at the same temperature for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned.If you don't want to use pink wafers for the base, you can use digestive biscuits instead and increase the butter to 135g. Keep going for a few minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. If you need to, get your kids to scrape down the sides of your bowl. Add the flour and baking powder First, make sure you melt your chocolate in 10-second blasts in the microwave, rather than a full minute. This helps you stir the chocolate for an even melt, and avoid the chocolate burning. Stars: our star sprinkles are perfect for making a cake that's out of this world!
