Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Melt 12 ounces of dark chocolate along with ¼ cup coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth and shiny.
- Ensure your dome-shaped silicone molds are clean and dry, then coat the inside with the melted chocolate mixture.
- Freeze the coated molds for about 10-15 minutes, then apply a second layer of chocolate and return to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes.
- Scoop out the thick coconut cream into a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract, then fold in the shredded coconut and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the chocolate shells are set, gently remove them and fill with the chilled coconut filling.
- Melt any remaining chocolate and cover the bottom of each filled dome, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of heavy cream just to a simmer. Pour it over finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl and stir until smooth to create ganache.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before drizzling it over the chilled domes, finishing with toasted coconut or other decorative toppings.
- Return the decorated domes to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to let the ganache set completely.

Notes
Ensure melted chocolate is smooth for a glossy finish. Following chilling times is key for best texture and flavor.
