Equipment

  • Silicone heart molds
  • Piping bags
  • Double boiler or heatproof bowl
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients

  • 150 g dark chocolate
  • 115 g butter
  • 40 g baked cocoa
  • 200 g sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 120 g wheat flour Type 405
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 150 ml buttermilk
  • 200 g dark chocolate coating (for decoration)
  • pink sugar pearls in heart shape
  • white and pink mini-marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens). Finely chop the dark chocolate.
  • Melt the chocolate, butter, and cocoa together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler.
  • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs, add sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whip until light and fluffy.
  • Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg mixture.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the bowl and mix until glossy.
  • Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter into a piping bag and fill twelve silicone heart molds evenly.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. Let them cool completely.
  • Melt the dark chocolate coating, drizzle over each muffin, and decorate with sugar pearls and mini-marshmallows.
  • Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best flavor.
Store muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for two months.
Let the muffins cool completely before decorating to prevent melting toppings.
This recipe is perfect for celebrations, gifting, or just because—you can’t go wrong with chocolate!
