This bark delivers a fantastic contrast: crisp chocolate, creamy banana, and a salty crunch. Try crumbling it over vanilla ice cream for an instant sundae upgrade. The bananas stay surprisingly fresh-tasting for days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Sea Salt and Olive Oil Dark Chocolate Bark
OBSESSED with a dessert that’s impossibly chic yet stupid-easy? This dark chocolate bark is your new go-to. It’s a salty-sweet masterpiece that comes together in minutes and looks like it came from a fancy boutique. Seriously, it’s the ultimate low-effort, high-reward treat.
Serving: 12 pieces | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
– 12 ounces high-quality dark chocolate (70% cacao), chopped
– 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
– 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the 12 ounces of chopped dark chocolate in a medium, heatproof bowl.
3. Create a double boiler: fill a small saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
4. Set the bowl with the chocolate over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
5. Stir the chocolate constantly with a rubber spatula until it is completely melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Tip: Avoid getting any steam or water in the chocolate, as this can cause it to seize.
6. Immediately remove the bowl from the heat.
7. Stir the 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
8. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
9. Use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer, about 1/4-inch thick.
10. While the chocolate is still wet, evenly sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of flaky sea salt over the entire surface. Tip: Crush the salt between your fingers as you sprinkle for more even distribution and better texture.
11. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator.
12. Chill the bark until it is completely firm and set, about 45-60 minutes. Tip: For a cleaner break, score the bark lightly with a knife after 15 minutes of chilling.
13. Remove the set bark from the refrigerator.
14. Break the bark into rustic, uneven pieces by hand.
FLAKY salt crystals create a delightful crunch against the velvety, rich chocolate. The olive oil adds a subtle, fruity depth that makes this far more interesting than your average bark. Serve it broken over vanilla ice cream or package pieces in cellophane for instant, impressive gifts.
