🖌️ Artistic Chocolate Pumpkin Mosaic – 30-Minute Showstopper for Thanksgiving

Ingredients

• • 12 ⅞ oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
• • ⅞ cup unsalted butter
• • ⅞ cup orange zest
• • ⅞ cup orange juice
• • ⅞ tsp sea salt
• • ⅞ cup cocoa powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Chop dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Add butter and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Stir in orange zest, orange juice, and sea salt until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick but pourable.

3. 3

   Pour chocolate mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread into a thin, even layer (about 1/8 inch thick).

4. 4

   While chocolate is still warm, use a toothpick to drag crisscross patterns across the surface. Sprinkle cocoa powder lightly over the surface for texture.

5. 5

   Chill for 1 hour until firm. Break into pieces and dust with additional cocoa powder before serving.
